Hi I am a self taught sewer who decided I had to do something when I became disabled back in 2002. I started creating dolls using clay pots and then moved into sewing. Having failed home ec WAY back in jr high school, I taught myself to sew using my daughter's sewing machine.

My love to sewing grew to the point it is now where I am also creating patterns for my dolls and ornaments. Shweet Potato Designs owned by Carm is my muse or inspiration and she has granted me permission to use her graphics as inspiration for my dolls and patterns.
My girls tease me and call me 3-D Deaf, Disabled and Dyslexic... I see myself as an artist who now has to find new ways to show what I have traped inside me.
