Welcome!

I’m so glad you’ve stopped by to get to know a little about me.

I’m Susan Flemming and I am the owner, writer and publisher of Super Mom – No Cape!

But who am I really, you ask?

I’m the mother of three amazing adult children. I was a stay-at-home mother for over 27 years (our youngest graduated college in 2012.)

Even though our children are all grown and away from home, I still pride myself on being a homemaker.

I am a wife, happily married to the most fascinating person I know. Dave and I celebrated our 33rd anniversary this past February.

I’m also a retired army wife. Dave retired from the Canadian Army in August of 2000 after 25 years of service.

It was a hard life at times, but a good life. We’ve gone on to have some wonderful adventures but we will always treasure our years as part of the military community.

Our first big adventure after leaving the military was moving to Maui. During our time there, it became home of my heart. So you could say I’m a Hawaiian in exile, hoping to someday find a way to return to Paradise.

In 2012, I added pattern designer to the list of who I am. (Be sure to check out my Shops.)

As you can see, I’ve lived quite a varied life. In fact, I started this site in order to share some of the knowledge that I’ve acquired over the years.

Besides writing… crafting and cooking are my passions. I sew, quilt, embroider, knit and crochet, just to name a few.

Tutorials are the most rewarding posts I write for Super Mom – No Cape!

My goal when I write each tutorial is for it to be as detailed as possible so that when you set out to make the project, you end up with an item you can be proud to say that you created… whether you’re making it for yourself or as a gift.

And if you do make something from one of my tutorials (or recipes) and want to show it off, I’d love to see it!

Send me an email and photo by clicking on that little envelope up in the site header.

I hope you’ll take some time to explore my most recent posts and the archives to find a new project or recipe to try.

Thanks so much for visiting and may you have a wonderful, heart-centered day with much Aloha,

Sue
