Random Facts About You?

I prefer knitting over housework. I am an encouraging person. I love detail. I am a practical person.



What got you started crafting?

I have crafted since I was little. I love working with my hands. It calms me. I have always loved sculpture even though I flunked it in college. I started knitting to make mittens, a practical art form for my children. And fell into designing knit & felt patterns quite by accident.



What is your source of inspiration?

Nature, especially the color combinations. I would never think of them on my own. Never ending choices.



What have you made recently?

My Woolly Matroyshka Dolls pattern is my newest, available September 1, 2012. I love them for how simple they are to knit & felt, but how wonderful they are for embellishing upon such as, embroidery, needle felting, beading, wool applique and more!





Where do you sell your crafts presently?

I sell my patterns and sculptures on Etsy, in my 'That's Woolly Something' shoppe.



Why are handmade crafts important to you?

To encourage the creative spirit in all of us. I am always amazed at other people's creativity and their thought process behind it. So many have encouraged me when I was just getting started, I want to be able to do the same for others.
