Hello friends!

Titles I hold: maker, wife, mother, artist, daughter, sister, teacher, best friend, alto, baker, laundry folder, marathon runner, blogger, aunt, floor sweeper, dog walker, photographer, and thrift shopper. Among many, many others. =)

Amelie, Nightmare before Christmas, Corpse Bride, Napoleon Dynamite, Holiday Inn, (any Fred and Ginger film!), Beetlejuice, MirrorMask, A Series of Unfortunate Events

I have taught several years of high school art, so if it's makeable, I've probably made it. I'm into sewing, quilting, batik, bookmaking, journal-writing, photographing, documenting, painting, drawing, papermaking, ceramics, screenprinting, and digital imaging.

I love: all things vintage (I rarely buy anything new), bright colors and plaids, bow ties and bicycles, sailors, color-by-number paintings and kits, kitchy and whimsical things, polka dots and stripes, knee socks, pom-pom garlands, felted wool, hot chocolate, all kinds of sweets, recycling/repurposing/upcycling, travel, holidays, and about a gazillion other things. =)

I am not particularly fond of: anime, fantasy & sci-fi, sports, heavy metal, and alcohol.
