In a world constantly on the move, finding solace in creating something beautiful with your two hands is a treasure. At Handmade Treasures, we're a family passionate about crafting and thrilled to share our journey with you. Meet Sara (Mom) and Danny (Dad), the driving inspirations behind Handmade Treasures, and my parents, who've turned their trucking adventures into a canvas of creativity. Together, we have embarked on a quest to spread the wonders of crafting with your hands.
Sara's Embroidery
Sara (Mom), a seasoned truck driver found a way to weave her craft into her nomadic lifestyle. With just a week at home at a time, she needed a flexible yet fulfilling hobby. That's when she turned to hand sewing. Over her 27 years on the road, she has stitched together at least 7 exquisite quilts. It was the perfect craft for life on the go – just like knitting, you can stop and start anytime. Now that she's permanently back home, her trusty Husqvarna Viking an embroidery machine takes center stage. Mom's talents shine as she creates a wide array of items, from cozy dragons on sweatshirts to intricate embroidery designs.
Danny's Roadside Artistry
Sara's partner in both life and adventure, Danny (Dad), also found a way to channel his creativity during their travels. Initially, with a lot of downtime on the road, he decided to try his hand at painting. However, the slow drying time of oil paints proved to be a challenge in the truck's confines. Undeterred, Dad switched to acrylic paints, which dried faster and allowed him to capture the diverse hues and colors he encountered on their journeys. His paintings defy categorization, drawing inspiration from everything he's seen and experienced. Now that he's also settled at home, he's revisiting oil paints, taking his artistry to new heights.
