Perfect Paper Dolls

What do you want to be when you grow up ?

I'm totally clueless

The Year 2010

Can You comprehend the year 2010 ? With every passing year, I always ask myself, " What have you accomplished ? Have you evolved into the calm, wise woman you've been longing to become ? And, how much time do you have left ? "
I've designed the Twenty Year Plan, where my goal is to live the best life possible, allowing for all of my vulnerable places, accepting  life on life's terms . Accepting what I can accomplish - rather than wishing for more.

For the next 20 years I'm determined to stop allowing the fear of not being ' good enough ' to rule the day.

Sewing : Clothing and Quilts

When I first started to sew it was because we were on a very tight budget. Over the years I sewed clothing for Katie, Stephanie, and myself. The girls moved from frilly, girly-girl clothing  to designer jeans and T shirts, which were no where near as much fun to sew.
The next thing I wanted was a handmade Quilt. But they were way too expensive. I'm grateful for that because wanting the Quilt pushed me into making Quilts, which led to years of happy sewing. Eventually I went from traditionl designs into my own designs, more of what would be seen as contemporary. Today my interest has turned to drawing clothing designs as opposed to actually sewing anything.
