My life has always included art, ever since I was a child. I've been crocheting since I was nine, and have mastered many other art forms as well.
I married young, worked hard as an executive secretary and business assistant until my husband survived a traumatic brain injury. I continued to work for a few years, when we were blessed with a beautiful daughter that came into our lives in a very special way. I came home from the working world to take care of them. It was with his blessing that I continue to raise our daughter in our rural home area instead of going back to the busy city, and that I pursue my art.
A love-affair with beads came about when I was looking for something special to put on the first sweater I made for my daughter...there had to be more than pony beads? Then I found beads! I made my first rosary the same year my husband passed away, and have been abundantly blessed with many ideas since then.
The biggest moment of satisfaction is when I create something that touches another person's heart. I've been honored to have an article published about me in The Diocese of Superior Catholic Herald, you can see it here: Click Here for Story
2020 Update: My daughter is now in her third year of college and has an exciting internship. I now also care for my Mom as we travel her Alzheimer's journey. I am very thankful to have her with me and share our days together!

Yarn is a big part of my life. It is my joy and my relaxation. No day is complete without a few ounces flowing through one hand and knotted by the other! I've been crocheting for about 45 years now, and knitting for over ten. Evening winding yarn into balls is relaxing for me.
Beads are another source of joy! I have a diverse collection from Swarovski crystals, gemstones, Czech glass, to tiny 15/0 glass beads. I design multiple forms of jewelry and rosaries.
I especially enjoy creating and designing for individuals in many forms.
Other interests include cross stitch, quilting, custom gift baskets, making teddy bears, painting anything that will sit still, floral arranging, taking pictures of my flower gardens...anything artsy!
