Momtrepreneur extraordinaire Louise Cady-Fernandes of Lexington,Ma has a lot on her plate! Her business, The Hole Thing uses recycled felted wool in new and exciting ways for both  clothing and housewares. Her blog,  Lines of Beauty, encourages women to celebrate and embrace aging. As a wife, mother, blogger and entrepreneur, it's safe to say Louise Cady-Fernandes has it all! 

My hometown : Youngstown, NY which is just across the lake from Toronto.

My favorite piece of clothing is: My Jenny Krauss belt that was made in Peru. 

I'm currently planning : My production schedule for my felted wool flower pins that are in a national catalog for this coming holiday season.

I'm most proud of: Next to my kids and my entrepreneurial husband; I’d have to say my blog called Lines of Beauty, which is about embracing aging, instead of dreading it.

The worst idea I've ever had was: Going sailing in the middle of the night with friends when I was in 8th grade. 

My Mantra: Do what you’re afraid to do, and do what you love.

5 years from now: I’d like to be healthy, aging gracefully, and surrounded by people that I love.

Last major purchase: My second-hand hybrid.

Something most people don't know about me is: In high school I held the New York state record in swimming for the 50-yard freestyle.

I still can't get the hang of: Getting to bed early
