About Me

* ETSY Store w/My Art

* ETSY Store w/Supplies

* Flickr Photos

* EBAY Auctions


I'm a self taught artist dabbling in mixed media, altered arts, collage and anything else I feel like trying including sewing, needle felting, jewelry making and sketching.
I am a homebody (aka: hermit) who enjoys homeschooling my girls, doing daily art, reading, blogging and blog-surfing. I sell my art and extra supplies on Etsy and anything else I can find on eBay. I work hard to avoid housework and cooking and am blessed with a husband who loves to invent in the kitchen.
