I’m a lifelong crafter with many different interests and an addiction to craft supply stores that I can’t seem to kick. If it is shiny, feathery or sparkly I love it! I also carry around a pocket camera to take pictures of items, scenery, signs, or anything else that I find inspiring.

I love dressing up in costumes. I particularly like going to Renaissance Faires. I am very partial to wearing corsets.

I have two rescued dogs that I love like children.

Reverend Horton Heat, Musical Soundtracks, Flogging Molly, Norah Jones, Madeleine Peyroux, Nina Simone, Moldy Oldies, Freaky Funk, Old Twangy Country, Neil Diamond, Ray Charles, Sinatra

My latest obsession is making accessories for women's hair. I also dabble in knitting, sewing, painting, beading...basically a little of this and a little of that.

Button jars and old broken jewelry that can be re-purposed are a bit of an obsession. I guess you could say I'm a collector of junk. I have ball jars in my art room filled with shells, buttons, old keys, bottle caps boxes, marbles and anything else that will fix in a ball jar.

Steampunk is a personal favorite of mine. I also like Victorian and Gothic. My house is very eclectic.

I'm not sure they are my favorites, but here are the movies I find myself watching over and over....

Sense and Sensibility, Sweeney Todd, Jane Eyre, Hairspray the Musical, Shawshank Redemption, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Holiday Inn
