I've been pricking myself and trying to stab anyone near me as I've needled away most of my life. Why hasn't anyone invented a tachometer for knitters? I'm certain I've knitted, crochet, embroidered around the world a couple of times. Probably the universe on a sewing machine! What is it with me and fiber? True love and crazy-can't-stop-the-madness I'm sure.With all this passion I'm busy. So busy that I have to find homes for all of these creations and ideas. That's why YOU are very important to me.
I work from my home in Virginia Beach, VA. somewhere near the water's edge...in a very green garden which is home to lots of my favorite trees, flowers and wildlife. Most of which I planted 20+ years ago. My normal studio day is shared with Zorro and Alegria (my Spanish Water Dogs). That time is divided between two studios in my home and where ever I happen to be sitting at the moment. If you needle at all you totally understand that.
My blog (The Nest) is about me primarily. I like to share my beginnings into this needle land often giving free patterns and lessons I have learned spanning the decades I've been doing this. Let me know if you like any of the stories please and please share too.
