I have always loved arts and crafts...and making things with my hands..as far back as my memory allows me I remember my mother and grandmother teaching me to sew...I did some needlepoint and crewel work in the 8th grade...and I also went to ceramics with my mom.....I always had a coloring book going!!...even today .....never too old to color!!....I went on to a counted cross-stitch craze....from there I started in wood working.....scroll saw, band saw....making mostly hand painted Christmas goodies....I went through a BIG Santa phase too!!! Still do my living room in all "Santa" theme during the holidays!...I fell in love with Polymer Clay about a year ago and haven't looked back since!!....it is great therapy!!...and such a reward when something turns out!!...I have a wonderful supportive husband....two grown daughters....3 grandson's and 2 granddaughter's....and the loves (next to hubs of course) of my life....2 basenji's...undconditional love!!...ya can't beat it!!!
