About Me

Hello. I am a stay at home happily married to one man with a son 13 years old and a daughter wo is 7 years old. I home school my children and have done so for the last 8 years. We are a Christian Bible believing family who attends Church every Sunday. My husband is going to seminary to become a Pastor as well.

I am also an Artist. I make OOAK Art dolls in all sorts of mediums ( mixed media,altered,soft sculpture,clay sculpture and more ). I also enjoy atc, scrapping, colloge and mixed media altered art.

Collections & Such

I enjoy sewing .. I make my daughter clothes as well as dolls clothes for them too. I love to collect antiques and antique or vintage style dolls. *I collect vintage and antique sewing notions.I have my Great Grandmas feather weight Singer in my studio.. and love it so.

*I also have a collection of antique /Vinatge Sock monkey's. I have always loved monkeys since a little girl. But never had a sock monkey until my husband got me my very first one.. which started the whole collection. * I collect and make Minature doll house things.

*I adore the Victorian era especially!! The art, the clothing, the dolls, the family life and history of the Victorian era is delightful to me.Yet, do love many time periods from the 16th century up to the 20th century.

*My favorite color is deep red.. I don't like bright red.. it's gotta be deep.I also wear a lot of black.. and have red and black accents in my home.

*I love Pizza and pasta.. I guess I married an Italian.LOL !!!
