WHO IS BEHIND GRINNING SOUL?
Hi there! My name is Laura, and I am the maker and dreamer behind Grinning Soul Crochet.
I fell in love with crochet watching my granny make pieces for her home and our family. She taught me the basics at a young age: how to hold my hooks, how to wrap my yarn, and how to start a chain. My mother later bought me my first set of hooks and a book of patterns. That’s when I learned to create items that are equal parts fashion, function, and art. I still use the same hooks today, so every stitch is truly made with love.
I’ve always enjoyed gifting pieces to family and friends, but after years of seeing so many faces light up in receiving a handmade piece, I knew I wanted to do more.
And thus, Grinning Soul was born.
What started as a passion for creating handmade pieces blossomed into a small online shop where I first shared my work with the world.
When my family and I moved to Jackson, TN, we were lucky to find ourselves embraced by a vibrant and supportive creative community. Inspired by that energy, we grew into a yarn and craft boutique—with a cozy storefront.
As a mother, my greatest creation is my daughter. Wanting to be more present in that role led me to shift our time and focus back to where it all began: online. You can also find me at local pop-ups because I still want connect with my beautiful cummunity in person!
This journey has been about creativity, community, and balance—and I’m so grateful to have the opportunity to share it with you and my little human. No matter where that may be!
