Bio

I wake up every morning, put my hair up (almost) the same way and then spend the day working hard, trying to make everything around me beautiful.
And occasionally I scrub the floors.
I am very passionate about my babies and their beautiful father. Also about paper and glue and not folding laundry.
And chairs. And small tables. And big tables.
I love love LOVE books.
Also I believe that what we wear says a lot about who we are.
You, for example, are unique.
You are beautiful.
What you wear should be, too!

Feel very free to conversation me! I'm often a very kind and generous soul.

Also I have a favorite song of all time.

What else do you want to know?

I think I have some kind of artistic ADHD (yo!) and so although snappy shoes and snaps are wonderful and beautiful and everything good in the world I just can't seem to focus on one thing. That's why you'll see all kinds of other things around here.
In my studio there are books a-binding, frocks a-sewing, shirts a-screening, prints a-uh...a-printing? And oh! the fabric! I love love love love love printing my own fabric. Also, this week-or was it last week-I started making tote bags. Like, making my own! Awesome!
And, hey, I might not always follow the rules but everything I make is well crafted!
Also, I have a BA in Studio Art. My concentration was in...drawing. Drawing!?

OH, yeah! Guess what else?! I am AWESOME with an x-acto knife. Like, I should've been a surgeon or something. Not that that's necessarily releveant here.

I had a dream that I started a band. We were called The Farthings. Our album cover was black with a photo of the band on it.
We were good.
No, I mean like REALLY good.
