In 2005 I took a fiber art course at a local community college out of curiosity. A small portion of that class was traditional wet felting techniques. Once I had my hands in the wool, I never stopped. I am an admitted fiber addict and a well-rounded one too. I can crochet, knit, dye, card, spin and felt. (I have yet to weave, but I'll probably get to it eventually.) My favorite fiber technique is felting and The Funky Felter was born in 2006. I soon began to sell on Etsy and other online venues as well as at craft shows. Everything in my shop is designed and personally handmade by me.

I've thankfully had the opportunity to live many places in the U.S. from Little Rock to Kansas City to Milwaukee. Most recently I lived in Wisconsin where I was the Craft Editor for Country Woman Magazine, Birds & Blooms Magazine and Taste of Home brand books. Now, once again, I'm living in rural southern Missouri where I grew up having happily found my way back to my family and roots. I am a mommy, wife, entrepreneur, writer and hopeless craft addict.
