Introduction I'm an incurably romantic lady of a certain age who designs clothing, accessories, embroidery and applique, custom garments, jewelry, and unique personal paper dolls. My designs are always pretty, sometimes witty, always upbeat, and never cynical. A fair description of me, although in this case "pretty" describes the things I love to have around me. I believe in meeting the world with a positive attitude, a sense of humor, self-confidence, and an appreciation for what I've been given. I also write: poetry, essays, stories, and am working on a novel. I love learning: new skills, new approaches, new ideas. My background includes teaching, social work, and design. I've been married to a wonderful man for 44 years. We have two grown children and two grandsons. To keep us company, we have a cat and a dog.
Interests Fashion, costume history, gardens, walking, reading, writing, social justice, drawing, travel, theatre. I love meeting interesting people and learning their stories.

You moved the pot before the coffee stopped brewing. Do you smell the mountains or the burro?

Does anybody really know what time it is?
