My avatar is a dancing and singing kitty. I chose her because all my life I cannot sit still when music is playing. Doens't matter what kind, I can dance to it. Even at 54. My gk's think I am so fun. My DH thinks I am having flashbacks to my youth. I love to sing and know most words to a lot of songs. When musical commercials come on I am out of my chair and dancing. DH just laughs. What can I say, hence my dancing. singing kitty. The headsets are apropriate too because when DH goes to bed I use mine so he is not disturbed. I like it loud!!!!!!!!!

My avatar is to remind me why the rescue kicked me out of fostering.

Mine is part of my logo from my etsy shop. I've been going to do a whole new one with a whole bunch of my scissors arranged on a background but I haven't gotten around to it yet. And now that I'm in the middle of packing and moving it may be quite a while before I get it done!

He made you a violin? How impressive is that! You're both very creative and gifted.

Mine is a folk art Quilting Angel that my husband cut out and I painted. She's on the wall in the Quilting (Sewing) Room for good luck :P

Because I was making mostly evening wear, (prom dresses, bridesmaids, etc.), I ended up with Pzazz....because everyone could have a little more pzazz in their lives.

What's your story?

I love your story. My avatar (and I've written this before) showcase some of the hundreds of butterflies I rescued from being taken to the dump! Long story short: I was helping an old friend clean out her house when I heard these sounds coming from the box I was carrying out to the trash pile. I dug through the old papers and magazines stacked on top to find Sunbonnet Sue, the butterflies, some crazy quilt patches, and some other squares all nestled within. I still believe it was Sunbonnet Sue crying out to be saved. These squares had been hand pieced by a lady named Sally Carter sometime during the 1950's and 1960's. My friend wanted me to have them because she knew I would treasure them so. I have given many of these squares to those who love them.

Here's my final crazy thought. Since that day I have had butterflies surround me whether they're real or someone gives me butterfly fabric or even pieced butterfly squares. Butterflies bring happiness.
