Her first sewing
adventures came when Jodie took up Polynesian dancing at thirteen.
As a gifted stage mom, Shelagh visited
Hawaii often
in search of authentic costumes and implements used in Maori,
Samoan, Tahitian, Hawaiian and
Ancient Hawaiian dance. During her six years of dance, Jodie
earned several awards and danced professionally, shak'n her hips
(they've slowed down some over the past 20 yrs).
Enough about
Jodie's hips... Fast forward and you'll still find Shelagh making
a unique contribution with her talent. Inspired by her beloved
grandson Nathaniel, she makes uniquely designed winter clothing
for children who use wheelchairs. Her exquisite designs cannot be
found anywhere. Shelagh does not take any money for these items
but simply asks families to take a picture of the child donning
their duds! Her wall of fame gets bigger each year. I've seen
moms break down in tears when they try the new items for the first
time.
Shelagh is excited
to work at Marjorie's so she can bake scones and cookies to her
heart's content... Come on over... We can't wait to serve you! |
