About Me

I'm a craft fanatic and I'm hooked on crochet. I love doing all sorts of crafts, I'll try anything and I love to experiment with different mediums and techniques, somethings work and somethings don't and somethings lead to happy accidents and whole new ideas. I'm also a thrift store junky and love yardsales. Becuase I live on a small, isolated island I have had to look for other sources of craft supplies and use unusual items to work with. I'm also an avid junk crafter and recycler. I love to turn something old into something new. I use a lot of recycled items in my swaps, hope you don't mind. I also recycle all shipping material and packaging, waste not, want not. Be kind to Mother Nature!

P.S. If I haven't rated you, please let me know! I do try to rate as soon as I get a package, but sometimes time slips away and my mind just isn't what it used to be!

Favorite Music

I enjoy listening to just about any type of music, just depends on my mood. 70's classic rock is one of my favorites most of the time.

Favorite Books

I love to read, but get so engrossed I can't stop the book is finished, I'm the same with puzzles. Most of the books I buy are usually diy and crafting books.

Favorite Television

Not much on TV, but when I do turn it on I usually go for the diy or classics channels. Love old B&W stuff.

Favorite Crafts

Anything and everything! I spend more time crocheting and spinning than anything I guess, but I love to do all sorts of crafts. Upcycling anything gives me great satisfaction.

About Me

Just a quick note about another important part of my life...I am Director of Disaster Services for my local Red Cross Chapter, a volunteer position that I love and take very seriously. If you like to help others please consider volunteering with your local Red Cross chapter, they need you!

Response: So glad you like her! Summer to me means the beach so I just had to go that way with her. Being that I live in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay seashells always find a way into my work one way or another. Enjoy her and the goodies.

Comment: Received your cards today and they were great!! I appreciate all the goodies you sent too. I will look at your profile to see if you have anything to say about your island. I have always wanted to live by water or the beach. Sounds like fun.
Response: I'm so glad you liked your goodies! I hadn't done any swaps in a long time, life got in the way, but I really enjoyed doing it again. My Island is quite small and very historic. Island life here isn't quite as romatic as most would think, it's a great place to visit, but can be a hard place to live. Inconvenient for sure, but you get used to it. Things mainlanders take for granted are treasures for us, like good, fresh produce and salads! And forget running to the store after 5 or on Sunday for anything lol. Be prepared is for more than just Girl Scouts lol! Have a wonderful Summer!
