Interview With Gretchen of SGHulett

1. Tell us a little about yourself.
My name is Gretchen, I am a homeschooling mom of 3 and grandma of 1. I also work at a Ranch and Home Supply store on the weekends. I have lived in Wyoming for the last 17yrs but was born and raised in the Seattle area. I have been married for 17yrs to my wonderful husband Steven (he is the S in SGHulett). I have 2 dogs and 6 chickens (3 hens and 3 chicks).

2. How did you begin working in your craft and how did it develop into a business?
I have been crocheting since I was 5 so that is nearly 40yrs now. I have been knitting for 8yrs and sewing for 16yrs. I also like to bake.

3. What is one of your favorite homeschool memories thus far?
I don't think there is one favorite I love every memory I am making with my kids.

4. What advise to would you give to other homeschool families who are also trying to run a home business?
Find a mentor for both endevours. It makes each one much easier.

5. Where do you find inspiration for your pieces?
I use alot of places but mostly just start a project and see where it takes me.

6. Do you have specific goals for your business or for your homeschooling? Would you share some of those with us?
I really want to make more in my business to take the burden off my husband so that we can have more free time and I don't have to have a weekend job outside the home. I love my etsy business and I want to spend more time crafting. As for our homeschooling goals I want to make life time memories for each of my children so that when they are my age raising their own children they will have stories to tell them.
