Pine Ridge Primitives

Pine Ridge Primitives is proudly owned by Cortney, who resides in Ohio. This shop has been open for approximately 8 months now.

#1. How did you decide on your shop name?

My husband and I have a farm and at the front of the property is a row of pine trees and our property is on the top of a hill. The farm is called Pine Ridge Farms so it is just a spin off of that.

#2. When did you start crafting?

My mother is an avid sewer and started a craft shop when I was 3. So crafting is pretty well in my blood. It's funny through I do not like to sew on a sewing machine like she does. Me and the sewing machine just do not get along.

#3. What or who inspires you?

My mother inspires me. She is an exceptional women. She started her craft store just for some extra money. Then after working for a company for almost 20 years my dad (who was about to retire)lost his job when another company bought out his place of employment. With dad just a couple years from retiring it was hard to find a company that would hire him so he and mom teamed up. Dad repaires sewing machines and mom crafts. Together they have a sucessful buisness. During the hard times while dad was looking for a job mom buckled down and kept the family together with her craft store.

#4. Do you have a day job?

I do I am the unit secretary for a surgery center at my local hospital.

#5. What is the item in your shop you enjoyed making the most and why?

I love to make rag balls. Each one is different and unique. I could not make 2 alike if I tried. I make mine differnt than most do. It is also an item I can make while watching t.v. in the evening before going to bed.
