About Me:: I enjoy creating with textiles of all varieties and love the process of figuring out how to make things work. I knit, crochet, sew, quilt.
My particular passion is Bears and other Critters. I try to incorporate something Scottish in the ready made collection but love to create to customers preferences and ideas.
