The crafting philosophy about the shop:

Often in Native American culture they deliberately included mistakes in their handicraft because only the gods could make something perfect. I try to remind myself of this beautiful sentiment in all of my crafts. Certainly, I strive to improve my skill with every project and every stitch, but I also remember one of the beautiful things about a handmade item is that you can see the hand that made it in the work itself.

A bit about the Heaths:

The Heath Family

Who are the Heaths? In addition to owning Seed Stitch, we own a home and live in Salem with our daughter Mazie May. You may already know Mazie. I’m always amazed at the places I go and introduce myself and my child only to hear someone say “oh we know Mazie”. She has a spirit and a light inside of her that make people instantly drawn to her. I’m sure you’ll hear about and see lots of Mazie in the years to come. She’s a big part of our lives and also a big part of the store.

I grew up on Cape Cod and Robbie in Riverside, CA. We both went to ¬¬Syracuse University, although we didn’t meet until after graduation —at a pig roast in Maine, but that’s for another story. I’ve long been a crafter — never without a project going (ok let’s be honest, multiple projects). Most kids hit up the toy store or the candy store with their allowances or spending cash. Me, I ventured to the craft section at our local Ben Franklin 5 & 10 store. I was constantly making things with yarn, paper, beads, clay, paint, etc. You name it, I made it. Both of my grandmothers were extremely talented with their hands and both in very different ways. My maternal grandmother was very talented with paper, paint, or a pen and my paternal grandmother was focused more on fabric, yarn, and thread. My mom is quite handy as well, dabbling in painting, jewelry making, sewing and other forms of expression. I soaked it up from where ever I could and if you are part of my family you’re likely the recipient of a handmade gift.

Robbie is a talented artist and illustrator now spending his time as a graphic and multimedia designer. Sometime we’ll share his work with you and I’m hoping his impeccable eye for color and sense of design will help bring you the latest and greatest in color palettes and products.

We relish in creating and love to laugh. Looking forward to doing both with you.
