About

Obsessed with Owls, hearts, and bows.
Been drawing & painting since I was a child.
Love making jewelry, started at age 14 in 1990.
I love to sew, learned to sew by hand at age 4 & went on to machine at age 9.
Taught myself to crochet in 1995 and to knit in 1998, only do those things occasionally anymore due to my Fibromyalgia, which unfortunately has slowed all my other creative endeavors but will never stop me! I adore my husband, Aaron Kraten (www.aaronkratenart.com & he's now here at Etsy!) and my beloved 17-year-old Half-Siamese Black-Tortoise cat named Ivy, she is my muse! <3 I can not list under 13 favorite materials (I had a list & had too much trouble editing it to death!)
