160. Sallie Dale: Growing a Business and a Family
Sallie Dale, Founder of The Urban Acres, and mother of three - soon to be four - has always enjoyed exploring her creativity. In fact, she remembers sitting at the art table in elementary school and when her classmates rotated to other tables, she stayed, to continue her art project. Her creative talent continued to flourish and, years later, after she and her husband Andrew were married, she entered a contest for Mrs. Meyer’s Homemaker of the Year, and won, based, in large part, on her imaginative and innovative projects. She has been blogging about her DIY creations since 2014. Now, she is inspiring a new generation of creators by bringing an old-school craft known as punch needle embroidery, up to date. If you’re wondering what punch needle art is, it’s a simpler form of embroidery and uses a large needle-like tool to punch loops of yarn into fabric stretched on a hoop. Sallie’s artfully created signature punch-needle patterns are available in her curated kits, making it easy to have everything you need to start, or continue, this hobby. Punch needle is an engaging activity for adults as well as kids in an activity that benefits fine-motor skills and lessons screen-time. During this visit, you’ll learn more about Sallie, her family and why she is encouraging people to reconnect to their creativity. You can find Sallie online: And on Instagram:
