The Art of Mothering and The Mothering of Art
“So Ellie, What do you do?” The answer changes all the time depending on who asks me and what mood I’m in. I’m a Homemaker, Wife, Mother, Singer, Songwriter, Bowtie Maker, Seamstress, and Choir teacher… to name a few. In June 2009, I began making bow ties and it’s become a rather fun adventure for me. I’m learning what it is like to start a business, nurture my craft and care for my family and home at the same time. We live in South Carolina and even though I’m not a native southerner, I really do enjoy our culture down here.
This blog is a collection of whatever gets me excited. Here you’ll find things like my most recent thrift store find, a beautiful photo of my child, a recipe, a craft, an idea for a new song or my most recently made bow tie.
Join me on this journey, Won’t you?
Cheers,
Ellie

Hey, Ellie!
I had a few minutes of browsing time…so I came to your blog to be inspired! So many things you’ve posted that I have well-loved over the years…stretcher.com, my More With Less cookbook…I was so excited to read that there was someone around with similar exquisite tastes! Hope you guys are great!

Dear Mrs. Stager:
Thanks for a wonderful site. Love the ties. Also, thanks for the brief discussion of Reformation Day parties. As a more theologically reformed member of the student body here at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, I appreciate it.
Blessings,
Paul South
