I have always loved to create. Mom did too and she provided lots of opportunities for my two sisters and me to learn new crafting and sewing skills. Crochet, embroidery, sewing, macramé, quilling, cake decorating, refinishing and more. I’ve continued to learn new skills throughout my adult years and in the last several have focused mostly on drawing and painting illustrations and on reusing, repurposing and refurbishing used items.
