About Me

I am a free spirit. I am what most would call a young hippie, since I was born after the hippie movement. I live in a small town on an island and love it here. I spend my free time being creative with my crafts and relaxing in the quiet outdoors (inbetween calling for my dog and watching for bears). I have a wonderful husband, two pitt bulls and a cat.

Favorite Crafts

There may not be any crafts I don't like...but my absolute favorites are crochet, knitting, book binding/journal making, paper making, tie dye, collage and sewing. I love trying new crafts and incorporating them into each other. I would much rather make something if I can instead of buy.

My biggest and proudest project (so far) is definately my wedding dress, using two one pound cones of white cotton yarn I crocheted my entire dress, and lined it with a cotton fabric. Amazingly when I completed the dress, it was a perfect fit, no adjustments needed!

A few years back I took a book binding class with a dear friend of mine. Since then I have been addicted. I have more journals then I know what to do with.

I have been a crocheter for many many years, but just recently taught myself to knit. My mother in law gave me a knitting pattern a day calendar one Christmas and so I decided I would have to learn. I really like to combine the two.

Favorite Music

My all time favorite band is the Beatles. I am also a huge fan of Bob Dylan. I enjoy most music types but would say my favorite genre is Alternative Rock.

Misc Stuff

I love the color red, flames, retro prints, bright colors and Peace Signs...and Tie Dye!!!!

My Dream...

My dream job would be selling my crafts, selling custom made items or teaching craft classes.
