About

Hello.


My name is Stacie.


Stacie Jo Lucas.


I run this thing called SJL Original.


And I craft.  Whimsically.


I have a husband, his name is Corey.  He makes jokes and dances around our apartment in shorts and black socks to Irish music.


We have a dog, his name is Oliver.  He is a middle aged Golden Retriever who gets grumpy when other dogs check out his business but is the apple of my eye.


I started this blog for all things crafty, but my boys will be here too.  Because you just might need a laugh.

Ready for my life story?


It was a warm July morning when I began my grand entrance into the world and....


For time sake I'll condense:

• born July 16
• in Southern California
• two a-DOR-able little sisters came later
• had dogs,
• ducks,
• guinnea pig,
• more animals
• moved to Elkhart, Indiana
• played trombone
• marched to near victory in state championship
• Purdue University...Hail, hail to old Purdue...
• moved to Upstate New York
• married Corey
• filled DVR with Matlock reruns
• became famous movie star
• retired to beach house in San Diego

Maybe I haven't completely fulfilled the timeline, yet.

I started in crafty endeavors at a very young age to my aunt Cindy's credit.  She taught me how to draw Fred Flintstone.

I graduated from Fred to Pooh, and by then I was filling sketch pads with drawings of comic book characters I had never even heard of.

I draw and sometimes paint.  I make things out of paper and fabric.  I've dabbled in clay and graphic design.  In searching for gifts to give my bridesmaids in 2009 I stumbled onto felted wool jewelry and haven't looked back.

I plan to expand my line of whimsical treats to brides, babies, and maybe even light fixtures.


A girl can dream, can't she?
