About Me
I love learning and trying new things. Being creative is not a choice for me.
I realize now I've always been a creative person. I graduated from college with an accounting degree and got a job in government accounting, later finishing my MBA. Back then computers were not as much of a thing as they are now, but I figured out how to utilize them for my job. I always found better ways to do things at work by trying to think outside the box. In the end my career moved from accounting to more of a business analyst position/software engineering lite.For my personal life, when my kids were young, I did a lot of sewing. I can make anything from a picture, even without a pattern. I designed and made so many outfits for them. Over the years, I've also made a few wedding dressed and many baptismal gowns.
It wasn't until after my kids all graduated from high school that I really leaned into my creativity. We had purchased land to build a cabin, and I wanted to learn to make stick furniture, so I did. That lead to learning to carve.
During covid - I continued to explore and learned to paint, first with acrylics and later with water color. I've also tried my hand at quilting and have now made 6 quilts, most with matching pillow shams. All were patterns I created. Now I'm working on making some picture type wall runners and wall hangings. As I work our my method for that - you will see some of those.
Cooking is also a passion and considered one of my creative endeavors as well.
Welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy seeing all the different things I explore as I follow my artistic heart!
