About the artist - Hillarry Pitts

It Runs in the Family - The strongest memory of my childhood was visiting my grandparents in a teeny-tiny-town in Nebraska. I always looked forward to the usual; playing with my cousins, eating my aunt’s yummy sugar cookies but most of all sitting on my grandpa’s lap and drawing and crafting endless projects. My favorite were the paper jumping frogs that only my grandpa could make just right to make them jump in the direction you wanted. I am delighted that I still have my “frog farm” with its original paper frogs and it brings a big smile every time I look at them. My grandpa taught me how to make bubble letters, doodles and the art of paper folding.

Time Marches On – Of course I had the typical take-home projects as most children. The macramé plant holder, the clay ashtray (despite the fact that my parents didn’t smoke) and my mom’s favorite...the gingerbread man that I ate the legs so that he would fit in the box. To my delight she still hangs him on the Christmas tree every year. As I grew older I pulled inspiration from my mom who was an avid seamstress. You name it, she made it. She instilled the importance of having a hobby in me and my chosen hobby became crafts in general.

The Crafting Craze – During college and shortly thereafter, I became the queen of crafts and remodeling. A few people referred to me as Mrs. Villa (as in Bob Villa). These two passions merged together in more of a decorating form. I would want to incorporate an idea that I had into a total remodeled and decorating experience..and I did.

Love and Marriage – Despite my “do-it-herself” mentality, my boyfriend at the time, Brett decided he would like to stick around and we were married. Nine years later we live a crazy-schedule life with two active boys. I am so grateful to have such a loving and supporting family. They are my fuel that keeps me going.

What is the Meaning of Life – I think at some point everyone hits this time in their life, when there feels like there just might be a bit more that we are looking for. I have struggled with my career choices for several years and a burning urge to figure out the right position for me. I came to realize that I am most content when I am scrap booking, crafting or doodling. My oldest boy will sit for hours on end and make projects with me or invent his own ideas and try to implement them. One day the light bulb went off and I decided that I need to follow my heart and tah dah...Little Miss Priss & company arrives.

Guilty Pleasures – I love that I am able to create paper and decor items that keep my heart smiling. There is nothing like the feeling of genuine praise from your family and friends for a job well done. I am always looking for every day items to create with and come up with something eye pleasing as well as functional.

Not So Good Guilty Pleasures – Just like a writer’s block, I get points in time where the brain shuts off temporarily. The guaranteed fix for me is a couple hours of reality TV. and a fresh baked pan of Ghirardelli brownies. It is a bit embarrassing to admit to these two things but it really gets the spark up and running. Couple that with a weekend that my husband and kids go camping and look out!!!
