About Me:
I am a stay at home mom and loving it! I have an almost four year old and he keeps me crazy busy! Mostly just crazy LOL
I have always been crafty and explored many different avenues. I worked at Mardi Gras World designing and painting props and floats for about 3 years when I lived in New Orleans. It was the first time I was paid to be creative and it felt fabulous.
I got into sculpting wire in kind of a backwards way from scraps laying here and there. That turned into making jewelry out of sterling silver wire. I sold them at the little coffee shop I worked at and did pretty well! A woman came in who owned a local comtemporary art gallery. She told me she wanted me to put some of them in her gallery and that worked out for a while.
Now I am onto a new obsession! YARN!! And lots of it! I learned to crochet pretty young and have always made hats and blankets and stuff for friends and family for holidays and special occassions. Then my stash started growing and growing! My friend and I realized that we just couldn't find the right yarn to do what we wanted to with it. There was just such a small variety of colors and textures available to us. She is the one who inspired me to start dyeing my own yarn! We learned how to do it and went a little nuts! That soon turned into my desire to spin my own yarn. Oh my, it is SO much fun! I am having a birthday coming up and my family went in on a spinning wheel for me and I am completely and totally HOOKED! I recently taught myself to knit and have completed several projects. Dabbled in felting too.
Overall I just enjoy creating and sharing it with others!
