I love creating new things in the craft room and am so happy to be sitting alongside the best teacher in the world – My Mum.

About Jo

I moved to Koondrook from Melbourne in 2019 to be closer to my parents. Currently on maternity leave, but I am an early learning educator 3 days a week, and spend the other 4 days in the craft room creating.  I am the ideas person thanks to Pinterest and Google – I take my ideas to the craft room and we get the job done.

I failed to get my sewing machine licence in textiles at school – because I couldn’t stay on the road and ran over the cows, I can’t believe 24 years later I can thread a sewing machine and sew a straight line.  I also like to knit and crochet.

I am a full time mummy to my two gorgeous children Jackson who is almost 3 and Brooke who is almost 1. These two are our apprentices in our craft room. Not that they do much helping. Well Jackson sees fabric on the floor and likes to go and get the broom and brush and shovel to clean it up. Brooke helps by picking scraps up and they usually go straight into the mouth, believe me when I say her teeth are sharp. They keep the JOMI Handmade team on their toes. We enjoy the occasional trip to Melbourne to catch up with family and friends. I love cooking and spending time with our furry and feathered friends
