I'm a mommy to a lovable 5 year old. I am a scientist by day and a crafter at night. I love to work with my hands and my first love is making jewelry. I also do lots of felt work. I occassionally dabble in knitting and crocheting and have some patterns in my etsy. You can see some examples of my jewelry and felt goodies here: http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?action=profile My daughter and I love to craft together. Sometimes we collaborate on pieces and sometimes we do our own thing side by side. We are working on a stamp collection. It's fun for her to look at the pictures and learn the names of the countries. :)
