My mother was a fantastic dressmaker and she taught me everything. I started to use a needle very early in my life. When my mother passed I started to create my works with little pieces of fabric remaining from her job. It was the best way to remember her!

1) I love working at home with two little princesses screaming and in my arms while I'm on PC!
2) I like my dirty hands after craft work
3) I cry every time I see BAMBI
4) I'd like dance in a Lloyd Webber's production!
What got you started crafting?
My mother was a fantastic dressmaker and she taught me everything. I started to use a needle very early in my life. When my mother passed I started to create my works with little pieces of fabric remaining from her job. It was the best way to remember her!
What is your source of inspiration?
My mother, of course!
But also soft colors, spring sensations and pastel tones.
Shabby chic is my passion and my style. I love country style mixed with romantic touches.
What have you made recently?
3D home decoration with fabric flowers, lace and beads.
I love particulary this kind of home decor. I think it's like a hanging spring bouquet. It's soft and unique.
I start from a wood frame and I create an optical illusion of color, shape and design with fabric flowers.
Where do you sell your crafts presently?
Etsy!
Come to visit my shop! I love to share my creations with other craft lovers!
Why are handmade crafts important to you?
Usually I choose handmade items because they are unique and made meticulously. They have a story and something from the crafter is inside the handmade item. It reflects passion, attitude and skills of person that made it!
