Welcome to Life at The Pa Pa Patch Blog

My name is Julie Merrell and I am starting a blog about my life as a freelance designer/homemaker/gardener/do it yourselfer. I would like to invite people to read my blog about a small town girl and her cat who opened a shop in their home. I like to be surrounded by beautiful things that inspire me daily. I keep busy with Pinterest, Knitting, Crocheting, Quilting, Gardening and Home decorating and Improvement. We live in a very old house that has a lot of character and it has become a passion to keep fixing it up. This home was built in the 1800's and has a coal shute in the basement. It has a wooden picket fence out front and a small garden spot. I enjoy gardening and look forward to spring. Hopefully my introduction will draw you into my blog. This is a new adventure for me. I will be posting pictures of things that I make here in my shop for sale as well as pictures of inspiring ideas. I hope you enjoy learning about The Pa Pa Patch.
