I'm a dog, cat, horse...any animal really...lover. I paint and sew and garden. I also love to cook if I have the time to really get busy in the kitchen. If I have a good book in hand, I'm a happy camper. I love picture books, have a healthy obsession with all things Venice and Paris, am single and the mom of one Westie/Schnauzer mix and own my own business. I can be found each day sewing, then some more sewing, and of course sew some more. I work from home creating my pillows and ornaments and churning out new ideas in my head every day. I also paint when I get a chance...lots of portraits.
