UPDATED JULY 25th...I'm married and have a wonderful hubby of 16 years. I'm a mother of 2 grown kids a DS and a DD, that are my pride and joy. Both are out of the house. My DD has made me grandma to 3 amazing grandkids. I have a DGD that is 9, a DGS that is 6 and a DGS that is 4. They are on the other side of the state so I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. I don't work outside of the home and hubby is retired now. I hate housework like the plague!
I have dabbled in many different crafts over the years. I used to sell rubber stamps and also taught stamping classes. I still have lots of stamps and will be selling them as I don't use them anymore.
ONLY CRAFTS I"M DOING CURRENTLY; I'm mostly into machine embroidery, sewing and quilting at this time.I have a Babylock Ellgante2 machine and a small Janome regular sewing machine. I like to sew or embroider things for my grandkids.
