I do a lot of cross stitch to keep myself out of "trouble." I've started to do hardanger again, which I learned long ago from my grandmother's friend in North Dakota.

I have also started to grow irises. Being a military wife, I haven't commited my irises to the ground, just planters so that I can take them with me when we move. If I won the lottery, I would probably buy every iris there is on the market as well as cross stitch and hardanger patterns.

I have a beautiful 4 year old who keeps me busy. My wonderful husband makes beautiful sterling silver and opal jewelry. We do holiday craft shows in the area, as well as a shop online.
