| Introduction | I'm Val, a mental health activist and a multimedia artist who is currently sidetracked by a love affair with felted fiber. I run a small handcrafting business, while working for NAMI San Diego where I advocate for Children, Youth and Families. I am also a wife and mom of two teen boys. I fight hard to keep them on track as they navigate the wonders and pitfalls of growing up. As an artist, painter, and an inventive seamstress, I have learned to craft my way through the rough patches in life... Along with my side kick, Lola (a Portuguese Water Dog), I am dedicated to living a Handmade Life out of a calm and welcoming home. ^_^ |
