This week for our Blogger Profile we are featuring Darcy Childress, from the Modern Cozy blog. Darcy blogs about all kinds of crafting projects, such as quilting, baking, holiday-themed crafts, kids’ crafts and so much more. Right now she has many crafting ideas for Christmas! Of course, Darcy also has an Etsy shop called Modern Cozy, where you can purchase journal covers and fabric that she has made. We asked Darcy some questions about her blog and her crafts, and here is what she had to say. 

I thought about starting a blog for a long time before I actually got up the courage to do it. I was an elementary school art teacher for twelve years and have been lucky enough to stay home with my daughter since the summer of 2010, which is when I started my blog. Originally I wanted a way to communicate with my best friend like we were still at work together. I figured if no one else read it, at least she could check in and see what we were up to. It quickly grew to be a creative outlet that I loved for myself as well as a way to connect with other crafty souls. My blog name came from trying to figure out a way to explain the home life I'm trying to create. I write about a little bit of life and baking and a lot of sewing but what I'm really trying to create is that feeling you get when you see your warm, lit windows as you get home in the cool evening darkness — that coziness that comes from friends and family and knowing you're always welcome. I was and am continuously inspired by modern quilting — the colors, the designs and designers, the way technology has helped connect us. So Modern Cozy was born from the marriage of those ideas and has been growing ever since.
