Since childhood, I have enjoyed making things. Then, I majored in Fine Arts for a year before switching majors. A little over 10 years ago, I discovered beaded micro macrame jewelry. I fell in love. I started out with some basic anklets and sold them out of the taxi cab I was driving at the time!

I have since quit working outside the home in order to pursue my dream of making jewelry and writing patterns full time. I love designing and teaching and with my love of handmade things, it is a match made in heaven.

I have had an Etsy Shop since Jan 2007 with some success. See www.knotgypsy.etsy.com for more items - mostly kits and patterns for those who want to learn how to "make it themselves" and feedback I have received from customers. Also see my website at www.knotgypsydesigns.com for lots more information.

Again, don't be afraid to ask questions, I am happy to answer them.
