Truly the journey began almost 20 years ago, but today a new chapter opens with me branching out of my comfort zone and putting myself out here on the web for all to see.
I am not an expert at anything really, I am merely a person who loves to do things the old fashioned way. I prefer paper books over a Kindle, (though I do have one), organic gardening over pesticides, and home-cooked meals over eating out.
I love making things. I have made and refinished furniture. I have wrapped loved ones in blankets and scarves I made myself. I have grown vegetables from seeds and turned them into tasty treats. If I could I would feed the world from my garden and kitchen, and clothe them from my yarn bin.
My maternal grandma was an artist and a lifetime art student. She was never satisfied with mastering one art form, she had to try her hand at as many as she could. She taught me to see life, really see it. See the beauty in ugliest parts, see the possibilities in disasters. Her perspective helped me through many dark times, but more importantly it helped me see the benefit of doing things for myself, the benefit of creation.
And that is a gift that keeps on giving.
