Fall is my favorite time of year, the chill crisp mornings and evenings and warm days, the fiery color everywhere you look.

I'm a Virgo, and love to be tidy but as an artist... well you know how chaotic it can be in your art space. so I'm always trying to find ways to organize better.

I love rainy/snowy days for composing hand written cards to friends, with a cup of hot tea or crafting hours away!

I, like many right now do not have a job and need to keep busy.Ive just been diagnosed with Fibromialgia, Chronic Fatigue and CBEV So crafting keeps my spirits up, helps ease pain and makes me feel joyfull.

I do have allergys- to gluten, nuts and shelfish.

I have just gotten back online after 3 years of no internet access, I used to belong to several swap groups on yahoo but I don't care for their new format and a friend recommended swap bot to me.

I'm in the process of getting an etsy store up and running and am thrilled to have found a way to sell my art and have hope that some day some how it may be a gift that can support me and my family.

I have a 16 y/o son with aspergers who is home Schooled and art is a big part of how we connect- it has such a healing impact on him.

I share my life with a husband, 4 dogs (now 10 puppies), 3 cats, 3 pot bellied pigs and a flock of chickens, 2 ducks, 1 goose and 1 turkey. Perhaps more livestock to come.

I live in a TINY house in the woods at the end of a dead end road. We are renovating sloooowly it from shack-like conditions, as it was built 125 years ago and needs some TLC. Maybe someday the house will be the media center for an intentional community. that is my hope anyhow.

I'd like to lean towards sustainable living and next spring we have plans for a garden.
