Crafter of the Month: Our featured crafter for this month is Kim DeWalt of Old Road Primitives. 

My name is Kim DeWalt, and I live in a small town in Idaho. I have always been a WAHM (Work at Home Mom)... even though my children are raised, I’m still a WAHM! My husband is in the Timber Industry, I travel with him all over the state (and sometimes other states) in the summer, staying in our RV. My pattern business gives me the opportunity to travel with my husband and still bring in a little income.

I’ve always had a creative mind and a knack for creating things. I’ve done craft shows for over 25 years. In the summer of 2000, I found a new creative outlet: the Internet! I joined eBay that summer, and started selling address labels. That’s when I discovered “Primitives” and I have been addicted every since! Last spring I finally decided to turn my handmade “Prim” goods into patterns. I opened my website, Old Road Primitives in January; but I also sell patterns by the name "Cabin Creek Primitives". It has been a fun venture and I have met some great ladies along the way!
