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.

The Eye Of The Beholder
Lots of times it seems like people are either
* Dog People *- or - * Cat People *.
Dog people are loyal to a fault. They have a
tendency towards being co-dependent. If you do something stupid they always forgive you, no explanations needed. I guess you could call them,
" Dog People, who love too much "
Cat People are loyal only if they think you deserve
their respect. You'll never have to be concerned
regarding dependence because Cat People are adept at getting their needs met. If you act like a fool, forget about winning them over until they're good and ready. I guess you could call them, " Cat People, who are amazingly well adjusted with high self esteem "
What are You : * Cat Person *- or - * Dog Person* ? Perhaps a nice, balanced combination of both ?

Through A Glass Darkly
When I was making this collage my intention was to portray stunning women surrounded by beauty and gold. Sometimes a collage will take you to unexpected places. I have found the best way to go is towards acceptace. Perhaps beauty and gold are mysteriously seductive, seen through a glass darkly ?
