About Me

I'm a stay at home mom of 6 kids. I've been selling on eBay for about 20 years. It's helped me be able to stay at home with my family

When I'm not sitting in front of my sewing machine (I got a new Janome 1600p and I LOVE it!!!), I usually sitting on the couch watching t.v. with my dh. Thanks to DVR we can watch our favorite shows together. I usually have to wait until Sunday or Monday to catch up on all my favorites, but I love being able to sit and laugh with my best friend and husband of 26 years! (insert corny music here)

Favorite Crafts

I like sewing quilts, aprons and bags. Actually "like" isn't a strong enough word...I'm addicted to it. I am a hopeless fanatic! Fabric fabric fabric!!! I recently made a really cute skirt for my teenager and am hoping to learn more clothing type sewing skills.

and....

When I'm not sewing or chasing kids, I'm reading or watching a show on t.v. with a Coke, bowl of popcorn and a package of M&M's at my side! I'm always looking for a crime podcast to listen to, my current favorite being True Crime Obsessed

wish list:

*I love apron or hand bag patterns (new or used) *Christmas fabric *Stabilizer for the bottom of my bags *Buttons buttons buttons--anything to embellish with *rick-rack (any color) *sewing thread *Janome 1600p bobbins *fine point sharpies

If you have me as a swap partner and you can't think of anything to get me, cotton fabric is always the way to go.

Other things I like are little embellishments for the bags I make (see my flickr for some of my work).

don't need

*I really don't need any more ribbon *I don't use stickers or scrapbook type embellishments. *I don't drink tea *I can’t handle fragrances including lotions and candles

Comment: Hey! I got my stuff today! I love it all, but especially the Love cards! They are very very neat! Don't worry about being late or anything, I can understand that, and I had faith you'd send, so I requested not to get an angel for it. We all have problems. Hope you had a happy day! Thank you again.
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. I have been gathering odd items I find at thrift stores in hopes that I would find "homes" for the items. When I read your profile that you collect cards I was very excited!! Thanks for understanding and being patient with me and thanks for the good rating. Happy Valentine's Day!
