Always be authenticly you and never compromise yourself; maintain healthy boundaries

@Ellen Britt hi! I am between Augusta and Savannah

Hey everyone! Since I am brand new to this space, I wanted to pull up a chair and properly introduce myself by answering a few quick questions. ​- Who are you personally? ​Personally, I am a homeschooling mama to three kids, and together with my husband, Scott, we run a busy homestead. Our life is beautifully full, but it also comes with its challenges. Dealing with an autoimmune disease is what actually pushed our family to slow down, listen to our bodies, and shift toward a much more holistic way of living. Embracing clean eating and mindfulness has been a massive part of our healing journey. ​-Who are you professionally? ​Professionally, I am a crochet mentor and the owner of Naturally, MelissaMade LLC. I have over 30 years of experience in the craft, and my entire focus is helping people use crochet as a grounding, meditative tool for mindfulness. I don’t believe in stressing over rigid rules or flawless rows—around here, it is always about peace over perfection. ​-What is something you love doing outside of work? ​Outside of mentoring, I love spending time working on our homestead. We manage a big garden and a lively mix of pigs, ducks, and chickens.(We rehomed our goats) There is nothing quite like the rhythm of farm chores and using a little creative problem-solving to keep everything running smooth. ​-What is something surprising about you? ​You might be surprised to learn that we are actively working on a big dream called the Purple Peacock! We are saving up to buy a retired bus or camper and convert it into a fully mobile crochet studio, shop, and lounge so we can take our creative space on the road in the future.
