I love: Sewing, Quilting, Kid's Clothing, Embroidery, Waldorf Dolls, T-shirt Printing.

I like to experiment with mixed media, and am always looking for something new to try.

I also run a business making baby carriers (Mei Tai and Soft-structured carriers).

I'm currently a work-at-home mom and I spend most of my day entertaining a very active, wonderfully creative 2-yr old girl :)
