About Me

Wife of 26 years to my soul mate. Mother to two amazing free-willed beings–son Will, 19 and daughter Samantha, 12. Daughter of devoted, loving parents. I’ve been crafting and creating since before I can remember, dabbling in everything from sewing, to oil painting, to scrapbooking, to photography to beadwork to crafty crafts–and many things in between. I’ve gifted my work. I’ve sold my work. I’ve used my work.

We’ve moved to the farm and our blog is taking a turn. Not only will there be creative crafty posts, now we will also include posts on recipes, upcycling, homesteading, and creating happiness while living our dream! We hope you will join us on this new adventure and enjoy was we cultivate a new life!

“I create because I have a need to share the most beautiful part of my soul.”
