Brief Bio, News in Your Life, etc:

- I don't smoke, but my fireplace does! Though I keep most of my supplies closed up and put away, things I send may smell a little like a campfire.
- I just realized that even the most unappealing of colors are made pleasant by pairing them with aqua/turquoise. There are some life lessons to extrapolate from that.
- “Remember to delight yourself first, then others can be truly delighted.” - SARK.
- I won't think less of you if you confuse knitting/crocheting, or felting/fulling, or can't remember how to spell "ephemera". Don't let anyone bring you down for it.
- I create for the enjoyment of the process, so the end products are really hit-and-miss. Regardless of the outcome, a lot of heart, consideration, and time go into every thing I create. I like to share what DIDN'T work for me, in hopes of saving other people some time/supplies/grief by avoiding the same mistakes I made.

My Favorite Crafts To Do:

mixed media, handspinning, bookbinding, ATCs, needlework, crochet...it varies

Crafts I Want To Learn:

weaving, fancier embroidery, better painting and drawing, skills associated with homesteading

12 projects can be listed here

My Favorite Projects Made by Other People:

Current and/or All Time Favorite Books:

Anything that touches the heart and nudges up my life's vibrational frequency
