| Introduction | I'm a single mom with a great son (Mr. T aka the T-man). I like math, but I've learned to accept that I am a little different from the rest of the world. What is the mother of a boy doing sewing doll clothes? Well, it started with making some doll clothes as a Christmas gift. Then I started making them for Christmas toy drives. Now I also make doll clothes for my adorable nieces. And I have this thing about small projects... You may have noticed that my real name is Kelly, but I go by Aunt Sally. There is a tradition in my family of calling people names other than their real names. My Daddy has always called me Sally. I don't know why. He used to tell me that he wanted to name me Sally and Mama wanted to name me Kelly. The compromise was to name me Sally and call me Kelly. I checked my birth certificate once I got old enough. My name really is Kelly. I decided that I wanted to carry on the family tradition and encouraged my nieces to call me Aunt Sally. Niece A first called me "Great Sally". Although, I like the idea of that, explaining "Aunt Sally" instead of Kelly is hard enough... |
| Interests | Various hobbies have come and gone, but the two that seem to stick around best are knitting (mainly small projects) and sewing doll clothes. I need things that can be finished in a short amount of time. |
