Tangled Up In Knots

The glorious, magnificent, sun is out today dancing with her rays!! 🌞❤️‍🔥💃🏽🪩🌞
Anyone else just stand outside with their face towards the sun for awhile?!

The 🧿 circle weave collection drops tonight at 8pm eastern on my new website!

I’m adding this s**g disco planter hanger on the website today, and I am working on getting all current inventory up by mid-February. After that, I’m going to start dropping pieces at the start of each month to curb against forgetting to add new pieces online.

🌞🦂Today is my thirty-fourth year around the sun 🌞🦂

I thought it was high time I did an introduction, it’s been a hot minute .

I am Melissa Otero-Stearns, the everything behind Tangled Up In Knots. I’ve been creating fiber art since 2020, where all my quarantine hobby turned small business folks?!

I moved to Indiana in the summer of 2020 with my now husband. It has been through markets and pop-ups that I’ve been able to get my bearings in Indiana. And a thank you to the small business community for being so welcoming and through it finding great friends.

Although a Hoosier now, I was actual born and raised in Arizona. 🏜I spent 8 years around California, and a quick jaunt in Virginia and South Carolina.

I’m a banana slug! I went to University of California-Santa Cruz for my B.A in anthropology, focused on cultural/environmental. It was also where I learned so much about Palestine, Iraq, and much of the region through professors and grad students providing critical writings and classes.

I’m newly married, and we have a 10 year old cat, Etta Ramon and a 5 year old beagle/basset hound, Orson.
