A little about me

I don't know what else to call myself except a maker, a problem solver, and someone who likes to share what I learn.  The undoer of knots and mender of boo boos.   I love to knit especially,  and sew small things.  Natural supplies catch my attention first, but I adjust depending on the item I'm working on for hypoallergenic, safety, and use reasons.  I especially like to make things to give as gifts.  I tend to craft by whimsy.  It makes me happy.  It is medicine to me, as well, and helps me deal with the challenges I face.

​

You will notice that I sometimes refer to my disabilities.  I do this to help others who face similar issues.  Also, to help explain why I might have differences in my photos and videos.  I have systemic sarcoidosis that especially affects my central nervous system (neurosarcoid).  It affects me much like MS.   I, also, have secondary sjogren's and vitiligo.  When it comes up, I share how I work with these obstacles to complete a task, do a craft, or face the day.  I am very open to questions.

​

To answer a few questions right off the bat, I am married and have two grown children.  We currently have two older dogs having downsized from a small farm with lots of pets.  In fact, I'm feeling a bit "oldish" myself!  I like genealogy and entertainment from Star Wars to Jane Austen.  Nature fascinates me.  You will learn that I love bunnies and turtles.  I'm a sports fan.  And  I cherish pie!

​

P.S.  I once took a sign language course and was given a sign name by our deaf teacher and the class.  It is the sign of a "K" combined with the sign for laughing or smiling.  It made me so happy to receive such a nice name.  I even posed with it it my photo that you see.  However, I am told you don't put the thumb where I have it.  LOL.  Evidently that means something entirely different.  HA!
