About me

Gender Female
Industry Education
Occupation Educational Interpreter
Location Billings, MT, United States
Introduction I like to make things. I believe humans need to change their environment, so if children are taught to make things, they won't be destructive, and the world will be a much happier place! --------------------------------------- I've raised and trained three terrific guide dogs for the blind, four dogs of our own and had a dog training business. What amazing potential these critters have to help mankind! --------------------------------------- I love making beautiful and useful things from scraps and imagination, so hand crafted cards and textiles are a passion in my life. --------------------------------------- I also have a passion for organizing my stuff and finding the most efficient way to do things like make a new stitch or put together a CQ block. --------------------------------------- I get to see many sunrises, and this is the best part of the day - the colorful yet quiet beginning with all its amazing potential stretching out before me. --------------------------------------- Right now, I'm working in a public school as an educational interpreter for an adorable deaf student. I love being in school again!
