About Me

I grew up watching my mom make our dresses. With 3 other sisters, that was alot of dresses. I learned to sew from watching her, and by the time I was in 5th grade got my first sewing machine instead of piano lessons I was offered.

My Barbie doll was the best dressed doll in the neighborhood. She didn't have one wedding dress, but a choice of many, just in case Ken asked her to marry him.

I was a stay at home mom, raising 4 children of my own, and some 25 others who needed love. After retiring and moving south of the Mason Dixon Line to a very rural area, I began taking up the hand made crafts I used to do B.C. (before children).

My son and I used to make period clothing and participate in Jubilees, which were the gunfighter, wild west reenactors.

I was introduced to Etsy about 6 months ago, and have not looked back since. I love living the rural life, yet connected to people all over the world.

My art includes many different kinds of fiber arts such as knitting, crocheting, quilting, costume design, millinery and a host of other wonders. Needless to say, I am also knee deep and neck high in craft supplies.

I am created this blog to showcase my work,share with other online artists, and provide useful information for others wanting to showcase their art online.
