About Me

I am an accountant at a University and work full time.

I am divorced and have one son who will soon be 30. Wow that makes me feel old

I live with my Ocherese dog Sculley. The name is from the X files. The early years before they jumped the shark. I have the first four seasons on DVD and am at the age I can pull them out and rewatch and not know what is going to happen.

Favorite Books

I love Stephen King and Dean Koontz. There seems to be a light horror theme going on here. I have all of Stephen King's books in my hardback book collection and enjoy re-reading all of them over and over. I have started on Dean Koontz collection but he has written so many books I don't have near all of them.

Favorite Crafts

Making dotees has now become my main craft. I have made a twin for almost all of them I have swapped because otherwise I couldn't bear to part with them. To display my dotees I made a dotee chandelier. As soon as I figure out how I'll take a picture and upload it here or in one of my groups.

I love to quilt when I have the time. I was working on paper piecing Christmas ornaments. Had to stop as now I am piecing for dotees

I signed up for two Dotee swaps so I guess that makes me a Dotee Doller also. And now two more. So am I now an addict?

I've stop making identical twin dotees and now only make one to send. My collection was getting way to big to handle. It is hard to part with them with none of my own but I get the beautiful ones my partners send. I guess I am a seasoned Swapper now.

I collect

Sheep of less than three inches of all handmade types of crafts. We used to raise sheep in Michigan. This is the only exception to the My Dislike below of Nick Nacks.

And DOTEES.

My Likes

Beautiful fabric from 100% cotton to make dotees. I did incorporate a six inch quilt block and turned it into a dotee. I really liked this one especially for the quilted dotee swap.

Embellishments like charms, buttons, and beads. I love the glass beads that have little glass dots fired on them in a multiple of colors.

MY dotees are all bald so I like hair of all kinds.Yeah there was a sale on the fuzzy yarn so I bought four skeins. Now they have hair. I have also joined a fiber swap which I know will provide some great hair for dotees.

Glass beads large enough for my senior eyes to see. Wow some of them I get seems like I can't even see yet alone get onto a needle I can hardly thread. Have an eye doctors appt. later.

My Dislikes

Candy and food I am putting here because I am trying to watch it not because it is a dislike.

Bath and Spa items because I have a sister who gives me these every year and fragrances are so personal as to be something you like to pick yourself.

Nick Nacks that I have to dust and someone has to get rid of when I die or move to assisted living or a nursing home.

Comment: What a great dotee! I like that you used a sock and hand made her bikini skirt, bikini, and beach towel. Even an umbrella! You are really creative! I think your idea deserves that extra heart. Great job!
Response: I'm so glad she found such an appreciative, good home.

Comment: Thank you so VERY much for TWO lovely kokeshi dotees! Hugs n ♥'s 2 u! :)
Response: Thank you. I am glad you liked them. I found these to be the hardest so far because they were supposed to look like Kokeshi. I hope my interpretation wasn't too far off. Thank you for the heart.
