About Me
My Background
As an art teacher of special needs students, I am constantly on the hunt for inspiring media and therapeutic techniques. I get to dabble in all kinds of projects which then require an outlet for my own explorative work. Hence, this website was born.
What I do...
I love to collect and play with all media but hand stitching and playing with my sewing machine is my favorite thing to do. I have always loved to sew because it is so relaxing and the feel of textiles feeds my love of texture. I have created a small business around my wool felt creations. Earrings, garlands, and stuffed whimsical ornaments travel from show to show during the crafting season.
I use repurchased fabrics and thrifted threads and tools when ever possible. Cutting up clothing, curtains, old quilts, almost ANY fabric, and turning it into art is less waste added to our landfills. This makes me happy that I can do my small part for our environment.
My Inspiration
Nature is magical and it’s my never ending source for stitching inspiration. I love using vintage fabric, repurposed textiles and hand and machine sewing to create art that makes people smile.
