I've always had a love for the arts. I took music and art lessons in school and dabbled here and there with crafts. Today, I'm a mom of two beautiful but busy autistic boys. We homeschool and work around various needs and therapies. This usually makes my day feel chaotic. Ayedene (pronounced Aye-Den) is taken from the Gaelic word meaning "fiery" which not only matches my personality but also the 'burning' desire to create. Crafting feeds that fire of creativity and artistic development, bringing me some much-needed peace and calmness.
