I am a Quilter/Folk Artist (in that order lol), Doll maker, Knitter (intermediate, knit at night, working on a sweater for my friend), Crochet (not much anymore), Some woodworking (cutting out my ornaments to paint), I do beadwork or make jewelry sometimes as the mood strikes. I do have a collection of beautiful ceramics that I paint on sometimes.

I raise and train service dog puppies and teach puppy obedience classes for my local obedience club. I do what I can to help raise money for the service dog program. Being with my dogs keeps me from quilting because they like to chew on fabric....

I also love to read.

I have several flower gardens and spend a large amount of time in them in the summertime. I spent all day working in the gardens yesterday. We also have a veggie garden. I also love to read but do more of that in the winter time. My love of quilting and love of growing flowers is about equal.

I used to crochet but I can't do much of that anymore due to a shoulder problem.

I have two doll houses I collect furnishings for.

I used to do quite a bit of photography work. I am allergic to too many of the chemicals though so I had to give up B&W film and prints. Now I just use a digital camera.
