hmmmmm where to begin?.... Mom was (now retired) a home ec teacher, so I tried a lot of things at a fairly young age ... learned to really enjoy doing many of them. I knit ... have done some really time consuming and detailed sweaters .... love the process of watching all the pieces fall into place ... but I don't wear sweaters so friends and family were usually the recipients of what I made - always specifically decieded upon for that person anyway. I also do counted cross stitch and have done some really beautiful patterns ... mainly of women (different times, cultures, etc.) But have also done various other types as gifts for others. I hand bead onto fabric for projects ... even have done some heavily hand beaded lamp shades for special gifts for friends. I crochet (though I really prefer knitting). I write poetry and songs and sing as well ... ..... blah blah blah ....

I do have to say that people have often asked me how much I would charge for a certain item and other then a few things that I have done for charity auctions, I always tell them that they couldn't afford to pay me enough, but someday I might gladly do it for caring/love.
