In few words: Children's book illustrator who picked up a pencil as a one year old and never put it down! Been making things all my life and a huge life long learner. Fibers are my favorite and I've just started weaving. What fun.
Old glass coaster= new paperweight. I used a partial image of my signature stamp which
I carved for my letterboxing adventures. Thanks to everyone for posting such a variety of well made things!It was truly the highlight of my day.
Especially the kind you can eat. This is one of my family’s favorite treats. The recipe:Dip a cherry with a stem in melted chocolate. Put on waxed paper and place a Hershey’s kiss on the front and them tuck two 
slivered almonds between that. Voila!- tasty mice.
One done and half of it’s mate for today’s thing. These are going to be a birthday present for a friend that was lamenting the small size of most pot holders. I made these XL!
I’ve had this strip of fabric for years. Now, it’s a reversible belt. The other side is silk. The buckle is a mother of pearl treasure that I scored at a yard sale.
More of the Marimekko fabric.This will be a gardening apron once Spring arrives. With 8 inches of snow yesterday, it may be awhile!
I bought some great Marimekko fabric (99 cents a pound) and made napkins. Then I tried my hand at napkin folding!
I made this for traveling. It’s linen, stamped with a rubber stamp image
and a Marimekko fabric casing.
I just took this class for needle punch. Similar to rug hooking, only with yarn.This will be made into a tool bag for holding sewing supplies.
Okay, so I’m reclaiming some of my UFO’s (unfinished objects) and giving them new life. This was from a sweater front that I never knit the back to. The dancing boys section is now a drawstring bag. I’m turning the dancing girls into a zippered bag. I’m so glad they’re seeing the light of day again 
This pattern’s from the book “One Skein Wonders”
. It’s knit on large circular needles then thrown in the washer and dryer to felt. Not sure what I’ll put in it but it really looks nice as is!
This is a survivor bracelet for someone who’s survived two cancers and has a gene mutation for a third. The colors represent the type of cancer. Pretty colors, ugly disease.
Chocolate Shortbread Heart Cookies to be exact! I make these every year because my family loves them. They’re SO good.
Here it is two days before Valentine’s Day and I’m illustrating a book for Christmas. This is a spot illustration showing the story of the Shoemaker and the Elves. Once approved, this sketch will get inked.
I decided to jazz up my craft apron. I added my name so it serves as a name tag when I take craft classes.
