I am a full-time mom to two adorable kiddos who keep me on my toes and away from my sewing machine/craft table for many hours of the day and night. I create when I can and try to keep it all fun!

I love fabric, quilting, sewing, letterpress, collage, and altered books among other things. I also make some kick-ass chocolate chip cookies and enjoy being creative in the kitchen as well. Other loves: books, sunshine, picnics, vintage linens, spending time outdoors, laughing, gardening, games and puzzles, collecting vintage luncheon plates.

Things I don't love: Juvenile Arthritis. My son has it. Because I cannot do anything to change his diagnosis I Craft for a Cause. Please visit my etsy shop where 100% of the proceeds go to the Arthritis Foundation's Camp JAM (Juvenile Arthritis Matters).
