What do I say? I'm a woman of many traits!
I love to do anything that involves creating. I've always been a crafter of sorts and I always love to learn new ways to create and recreate. I believe that we should never stop learning. I have done everything from canvas oil paint, to sew, design, build furniture, renew furniture, quilt, draw, interior decorate, pattern making, graphic design...oh, don't let me forget to mention that I am a Publisher (when I'm not being mom).
I love to window shop. My husband does not really understand the concept, but I like to walk through stores and look, really look, at all the different products and hues that define each individual piece on the shelf. Of course, there are some (maybe quite a few) that I pass over rather quickly.
My favorite medium is wood, more specifically furniture. I enjoy taking something that is very old and giving it a new look, a new life. Beds used to be my weakness, but for some reason now I am drawn to tables, all kinds of tables.
Creating gives me almost the same feeling of enjoyment as when you hold your newborn child in your arms for the first time. It is simply, amazing!
When I'm not creating whether it's through my hobbies or through by business, I enjoy spending time with my family on or near water somewhere. Summers are filled with trips to the beach, boat rides and fishing in the rivers, and bar-b-ques in the backyard by poolside. Maybe this is why I am such a fan of turquoise and blues.
Other times you can find us either watching our children play soccer or softball. Spending time with family is a very important part of my life.
Whatever I'm doing, I know, appreciate and am thankful...life is pretty darn good!
