Welcome - I am so glad you're here
My name is Ana Jewell, and this space was created from a deep love for family, storytelling, and the beauty of handmade things.
I came to the United States from Brazil over 30 years ago, carrying with me a love for culture, history, and learning. Over the years, I embraced new languages, new experiences, and a deep appreciation for this country I now call home.
I am a lifelong lover of history, books, and the quiet art of crochet — but it was my three precious grandchildren who inspired something new in me.
They inspired me to begin writing stories.
Stories filled with warmth, kindness, and gentle lessons — the kind of stories that help children grow into who they are meant to be, while bringing families closer together in the process.
Through my books, crochet creations, and shared experiences, my heart is to encourage families to slow down, to connect, and to rediscover the beauty of meaningful moments — whether through a story at bedtime or something lovingly made by hand.
This space is also here to support parents and grandparents with thoughtful suggestions, inspired by real-life experiences, to help make everyday life a little easier and more joyful.
My faith is an important part of who I am, and it quietly guides the values behind everything I create — love, compassion, patience, and purpose.
Thank you for being here and for being part of this journey.
With love,
Ana
