| Introduction | Heavens to Betsy Is Betsy Reed. Heavens to Betsy has grown rapidly over the past couple of years. She retired from the phone company not knowing the adventure she would be soon be traveling. She pulled all her resources together and said "I want to make wool". We looked at her and said "ugh okay". Mom's excitment never quit and it soon became contagious. Mom first hired me,Her daughter,Erica to help with the expanding business. Then she hired dad, It took him some getting used to doing things our way but he is certainly coming around. So, Heavens to Betsy can definatly be considered a family business. My father was in the photography field for quite some time and has always loved color and is a very talented artist. Me, I also love coming up with ways to use color and the patterns for wool. Mom has turned both of us into wool junkies and we dont even hook. Mom, She has a love for the primitive style of wool and hooking. That is not to say she doesn't love color, She does (she even had dad paint the house pink one time). She is also the most wonderful person you ever want to meet and talk to. If you see us at a show, Don't be shy! We love hearing from you! |
