Retired high school art and theatre teacher. A crafter, quilter, designer, costumer and seamstress for over 50 years. Learned to sew at the age of 7, and with a degree in Fashion Design from the early 60's, I have continued to be a fanatical seamstress through all the years since. I both acted in and costumed local theatre groups for 30 years, and have recently started doing some costuming for Renaissance Faire devotees. I love all things 4 footed and furry, as well as our feathered friends. Live with 4 cats and feed all the neighborhood strays, and I also helped pay for spaying and neutering of over 20 of them. There are at least 15 regulars who stop by daily, and of those, 6 or 7 have taken up permanent residency in my garage. My interests and skills are varied, thus the eclectic nature of my studio and the handmade items therein.
