About Me

I am a single mom of 5. I work full time as dental assistant. Quilting, sewing and Crochet are my Passion. I eat, breath, sleep and dream FABRICS! I love using my hands and the complete creation process.

I create something Daily whether it be fiber related or altering something from it's present state creating something totally new and outside the box or just roughing it up a bit.

I also have taken the pledge to rate. I do not flake so if you have not recieved from me please email me and let me know as I will always resend a swap. I also will angel for someone who has been flaked on. Snow flakes are the only flakes I like :)

Favorite Crafts

Quilting is my first and foremost love and something I try to do daily. It is like my zen. I venture off into other crafts but always go right back to my sewing machine and fabrics. I also like to make ATC's, most paper crafts though scapbooking isn't my forte, tried it and didn't like it so much. Sewing clothing for my daughter, and my two shih tzu's, Embroidery, Jewelry making, beading, crochet (taught by my grandmother when I was 4) so treasure the craft and think of my grandmother often when Im sitting down with my yarn and hooks. Baking, not so much into cooking but something about sweets and an oven can get my juices flowing :)

THINGS I LOVE AND CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH OF:

*Fat Quarters *2 1/2 inch fabric strips * 5 or 10 inch fabric squares *Fabric Selvages *Jewel Tones such as Saphire blue, Ruby red, Yellow topaz, Emerald green, Amethyst purple. * Fabric * 1930's reproduction, batiks * Sewing and quilting notions * Chocolate * Ceramic or Vintage Thimbles * Handmade Pin Cushions * Jeweled Stick Pins * Vintage Handkerchiefs * Vintage Doilies * Quilting Templates and Stencils * Ribbon * Rick Rack * Stretched canvas * Angels * Quilting books,dvd's, rulers, Anything by Eleanor Burns and Quilt in a day. * Handmade journals and dolls. * Fabric postcards. * Candles * Sachets * Lavender and mint and honeysuckle are my favorite scents.

Comment: Thank you for the extraordinary fabric postcard - I love it! Last night we got several inches of wet snow. No one plowed it because it's melting quickly today. And I'm glad I haven't cleared leaves from the flower beds yet.
