About Me

I am a woodworker/crafter and work with children teaching them the lost trade of woodworking. I love natural materials like wool, wool felt, silk, wood, and all nature. Love pressed flowers, leaves, and real acorns, small pinecones, sparkly rocks, shells, anything from nature. I love broken jewelry to craft with. Patterns and ideas of things to make for the holidays and seasons.....just an all around creative, crafty person. I have 3 grand daughters, ages 1 5, and 8. I have 2 daughters ages 28 & 29. One is a trauma nurse, the other a flight attendant. I make toys for my grandchildren all the time as well as furniture and toys for they're school. They go to a Waldorf school here in Florida. My favorite color is blue, second in line yellow. I have long brown hair, half way down my back and its sooooo straight it looks like I iron it every morning! Oh what I would do to have my grand daughters curls!! Lol Being I work with hand tools, saws, sanders, hammers, etc I don't wear any jewelry except earrings, small ones! Oh and as funny as this is going to sound, I appreciate nuts. Lol, I make things from them, paint them, etc and give them to my grand daughters as "treasures" or even from the tooth fairy. As far as things I like: home made dolls, gnomes, fairies, elves, trolls, dragonflies, butterflies, ladybugs, turtles, birds, horses, cats, dogs, mice, ducks, queens, kings, mermaids, babies, rabbits, and I can't think of anything else, lol. Its easier to share what I don't like: rats, bats, snakes and spiders. I am a not a person that fusses over my hair and don't wear make•up. Oh yea I almost forgot I'm a certified scuba diver, I surf and love to go camping. If you feel I need to share more about me, please let me know. Thanks and have an awesome day!!

Comment: Hey Valerie, I am perfectly fine with the fabric. In the future, you may need to be careful to send yellow fabric, but I am okay with it. Also, You only have to swap the swaps you sign up for. If you do your shopping in advance and can't find anything, then don't sign up for the swap! It works out well. I actually typically shop a month in advance for that reason. My batik selection is skimpy around here, so I only swap what I can find. I loved the envie by the way!
Response: Ah thank you for the great suggestion!! The reason I sent you 4 FQ of yellow AND 2 FQ of the mostly orange with the little bit of yellow in it was because I couldn't find 2 different yellow patterns. Thank you for being so helpful!!! <3

Comment: I read the "Golden" cities to my husband yesterday. Today he thought he remembered hearing it on the radio. Maybe I need to think about a career change?
