I’m a total nerd and darn proud of it.
I fiddle around on the computer, obsess about everything Sci-Fi, collect comics, and color in coloring books.
But, my favorite pastime is FOOD and the art of eating it!
What got you started crafting?
Fashion was always huge to me and I'd change clothes several times a day since the age of five. And I was very particular about the clothes. It just seemed natural to start making them myself.
What is your source of inspiration?
Color inspires me the most, especially contrasting color. Nothing is better than putting two completely different colors together and making them blend... it can get pretty Mad Scientist at times but it always works out in the end.
What have you made recently?
My favorite design right now is a vintage replica of a 1940s jacket. I have oodles of old patterns and its always fun to make a modernized version of something old.
Where do you sell your crafts presently?
I started on eBay years ago but I love, love, LOVE Etsy! It's the only place I like to sell now.
Why are handmade crafts important to you?
Handmade is the best because it's usually made with love. Sure, you can go shopping and find something cute, but its just not personal... its a lot more fun to talk to the person designing/making your item and imagine them creating something great for you.
