So... Who Am I

Interested in me, huh?  Strange one you are.  

I like to think of myself as a renaissance woman.  The type who builds things, sews things, grows things, writes things, etc.  I am happy to see more and more people are coming to that realization as well.  It's a really good thing when people learn to do and not to depend.  

I started sewing at a VERY young age.  I tell my mother that I was her sweat shop employee.  She worked for Levi Strauss for a long time and then struck out on her own to design wedding gowns and such fancy things.  I was the one sewing on the beads and tiny things she "claimed" was easier for me to see.  HA! Poppycock.....

I always thought I knew better than her.  Could do it faster, with less material and all that....and everything I made always either fell apart or never got finished.  So, I finally submitted to her tutelage and am the better for it.  

I used to tour and sing all the time, but after a while I needed a bit more security.  I had a daughter and wanted to provide her with a stable, happy life which required more moola than I currently had at the time, so I put that fancy degree to good use and joined the corporate world.  I still write songs and sing and encourage my girl to be as creative as she possibly can.  So that feels good.
