About me

Location Virginia, United States
Introduction I've been dreaming up and making Snuggle Monsters in my “spare-time” since January, 2009 and thoroughly enjoy it. I love coming up with new designs and creating personalities for my monsters. It's exciting to see a new creation transform from a sketch on scratch paper to a vibrant and huggable stuffed animal made from gentle fleece. It takes a lot of time to make each monster, but its fun work. I love making artistic and creative things, so it's been great to have a focus for my imagination. It keeps my creative mind working and I'm constantly sketching up new ideas. It's about more than just sewing for me; I am an artist of many mediums including painting with egg tempera and printmaking. It's important to me to give back to the community whenever possible, so I donate my time, talent, and monsters to various charities including Comfort Zone Camp and Spirit Jump. I’m not always good at keeping my blog up to date, but I always have good intentions to. If you want to see more of my work (that I do update frequently) check out my website at www.chasingmystar.com or my Etsy shop at www.chasingmystar.etsy.com.
