Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Rebecca, the creator and designer behind Torreya Treasures.

Years ago, I was invited over to a friend's home in the middle of winter. As I entered, I removed my snow covered boots at the door. My friend brought out a basket filled with handmade slippers and offered me a pair to wear. There were a dozen slippers in all different colors, shapes, and sizes. I had such fun wearing them that I learned to make slippers of my own and my love for crocheting continued to grow from there.

I have been crocheting for over 25 years andhave been designing and selling crochet patterns on Etsy and Ravelry since 2013.
I have always enjoyed working with my hands. Painting, crocheting, playing piano, and giving music lessons are just a few of my skills. I have a loving husband and six children who keep me busy and support my efforts to manage a small crochet business. Crochet is a very therapeutic and meditative craft that can significantly improve mental health. I want to encourage and inspire others to live to their full potential and create things that make them happy.
Thank you for stopping by my shop. I hope you are motivated to pick up a crochet hook and some yarn and stitch yourself a little piece of happiness. Please follow @torreyatreasures on Instagram to see updates and photos of my most recent crochet projects.
