About Me

I love all things crafty. I sew, make journals, create brooches, and jewelry. I love recycling fabric and old sweaters into new creations. It is a lot of fun and I enjoy it immensly.

I only wear sterling jewelry.

On the personal side, I love the beach, nature, taking pictures, reading and enjoying life in general.

Favorite Music

I like most of the old school singers and always have. Bette Midler, Rod Stewart, Tony Bennett, Michael Bouble, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, etc.

Favorite Books

I used to love only biographies and true crime, but am learning to appreciate fiction more and more. I also have a love of old (vintage) gardening books and craft books.

Favorite Movies

My all time fav is Circle of Friends with Chris O'Donnell and Minnie Driver. I also loved the message movie Boys in the Hood. I like mostly comedies and dramas and watch DVDs often while I craft.

Favorite Crafts

What crafts don't I do would be easier. I make journals, greeting cards jewelry from vintage necklaces, brooches using fabric, crochet and vintage felted sweaters, tote bags, fabric postcards. Last night I took a beginner's origami class and I think I have a new love. I am also going to take a calligraphy class when I find one. I consign all of my creations. The tote bags seem to be the most popular.

Favorite Television

I loved Will and Grace and also love 2 1/2 Men. It is too funny. I like cold Case and the various news magazines.

Comment: Cindy, The felt pin was so ME! It goes right over my heart on my chunky fisherman sweater. I absolutely adore it - and my friends all do, too. But they aren't getting it - no way! LOL. And thank you so much for the altered art pin. My oldest two daughters have designs on it. It looks really nice on my denim jacket!
Response: Nissa, I am thrilled that you like it. It was amazing to me that you live in a yellow cape cod and my pin was cape codish. It is great how that happens. It makes me smile that people are fighting over it!

I'm so glad you liked the fabric charm I made. They are so fun to make, fairly easy to do, and everything you need to make them fits in a pencil case. :) You're welcome!
