My Crochet Journey

Both my mom and grandma crocheted all the time. At an early age I learned to crochet. There was always a crochet or sewing project going on in our home. Always a project near the sofa so when you set down was easy to pick it up and start where you left off

My grandma always told me that “crochet is an ancient art!” Well, she was not wrong. Crochet craft has been passed down for generation. I feel very blessed to have learned from such amazing crocheters.

Now, I started crocheting before there was internet. Yes, way back when. I would look at a crochet peace and make my own pattern. I learned to read my first crochet pattern in my early twenties. Filet and mosaic crochet intrigues me.

I crochet when I’m watching tv. That way I am still with my family and getting to visit with them. With a crochet hook in hand and skein of yarn I’m set for the evening.

I’m a crochet artist and designer. I started my business at an early age creating my designs and patterns.

Below are just a few items I have made. I do take orders if there anything you would like to have made.

When crocheting if gives me peace and helps me to reflect on my day. It reminds me of my mom and grandma. Crocheting gives me a sense of history and timelessness. The understanding that I can create something that could outlive me and develop a legacy for the next generation.

Hello World

Welcome! Come on in and stay a while. We are a husband-and-wife team with 3 adult kids and 3 grandchildren. Our simple living journey started back in 1998. God blessed us greatly. We brought our two family’s together and was able to purchase our first place together.

We worked hard at our first place making it a working farm.

With the love for horses, I started boarding horses and giving riding lesson. Stace was right by my side every step of the way. Our business grew. We sold that place and moved to a big horse facility that would hold up to 65 horses. It was a lot of hard work. We went from a hand full of horses to the sems busting open. We were at full capacity. Over the years there I showed, trained, and gave lessons.

We moved again to a larger place. Some of my clients moved with us. At our new place it was laid back. we still showed our horses. With the property we were able to go on long rides and enjoy the countryside.

Due to injuries over the years, I started slowing down. We found the place we are now and had to have it.

We picked up and moved again. In 2009 Stace and I started Tailspin Farms in Stockdale Texas.

You can ask us about rabbits, chickens, goats, pigs, cows, horses, honeybees, gardening, home cooking, Bar-B-Q, Canning and just living the simple life.

Stace and I want to share our knowledge and experience of this hard work we do called farming or homesteading. So, come along with us and our family as we go through this journey.

Blessing,

Margarita & Stace
