About Me

Thanks for visiting Silly Happy Sweet. I came up with the name of my blog in 2008 when I was trying to describe motherhood in just three words. My husband, kids, and fur babies (and non-furry tortoise) keep me laughing and give me the most joy.


In early 2011, I became unemployed and spent some time soul searching, trying to figure out what the future holds. I still don’t know what the future has for me career-wise, but I’ve discovered that my favorite job is being a full-time wife and mom. More time at home has allowed me to not only keep a cleaner house (kind of!) but to also rediscover my love of all things crafty! I love to knit, sew, quilt, bake, embroider, crochet, try my hand at photography, and decorate my house.

When I’m not chauffeuring kids around, I create custom leather cuffs. I hope you will stop by my shop and check out my goodies! I’d love to hear from you (carolynmader[at]gmail[dot]com).
