A lifelong crafter, I learned to craft as a young girl having been was blessed with a creative mother. Sewing, crochet and embroidery were all hobbies I used to dress my Barbies and decorate their homes. I am an award winning seamstress with over 40 years of experience.I became very resourceful at a young age. That same resourcefulness now makes me search for eco-friendly crafts and maintain an eco-friendly lifestyle as much as I can.

Other artistic endeavors include the founding of the first scrapbooking website scrapbooking.com in 1996 and organizer of the first scrapbooking cruise. I co-authored a scrapbooking book and have written articles for numerous publications online and in print.

My mission is to leave the world a better place. I work in education but also strive to live a green life style with my husband and son. With that in mind my newest creative project is a line of custom made recycled and up cycled purses, totes, jewelry and more.

craft interests: crochet, embroidery, fashion, gifts, home decorating, jewelry making, memory making, paper crafts, quilting, restyle, sewing, paper crafts

Re: How to Custom-Embellish a Shirt

Great idea!!! Your top stitching is really beautiful. I would have to practice many hours to work as well as you do!

Re: How to make wire-crochet jewelry

Beautiful jewelry!! I love the cuff and both pairs of drop earrings. However the necklace or bracelet with the stones has to be my favorite pieces!

Re: Awesome Pink Peasant Top

This is a great blouse. All summer I searched for the perfect peasant blouse and here it is. Maybe I'll have to make it even though it is Fall already!
