My grandmother introduced me to sewing and creativity when I was very young. I used to make my first day of school dress on Labor Day weekend watching the Jerry Lewis MD telethon. Now I am expanding my skills and in the process of creating my own business. I don't have grand ideas but love to share what I make with others. I am the careprovider for my parents who moved in with my husband and I 3 years ago. We have two dogs that fill a gap now that my children are grown. Petra is a Minature Schnauzer and Annie is a 11 month old Bichon. I have a "studio" in a spare bedroom and look forward to spending my days playing with fabric, stringing beads, stamping journals or cards whathever strikes my fancy.

Re: What's in Your Crafting Cupboard?
I feel like I am in my own little heaven now that I have found CraftStylish.com. Here are ooddles and ooddles of people like me that find themselves creating and sharing and having fun and making peace with their dreams.
posted: 6:36 pm on August 9thI have a spare room that has become my "studio". There are separate tables for my sewing section including a Janamoe 11000 that I am trying to learn how to use; a beading assembly area; bookcases for magazines, storage baskets and some inspiration goodies, another table for drawing stick figures and my button collection. Under two of the tables I have pillows for my "babies", Petra a Minature Schnauzer and Annie an 11 month old Bichon. If that isn't enough I have my lovebird "Shalom" swing from his perches. My granddaughter organized all my pincushions this spring by color and type. I did it just to keep her busy but it has been so handy to know where those extra long pins I need for quilting.
Re: Yo-Yos and Couching: Two Easy-to-Do Embellishment Techniques
This is absolutely stunning with its simplicity and great use of color. I make yo-yos while I am watching TV. I've had trouble getting my edges to be smooth and even. Do you have any hints??
