"Follow your bliss." After years of refusing to listen to my creative muses, I finally decided that the only way to be happy was to spread happiness to others. That is my personal mission - to spread cheer and smiles to as many people as I can reach with my one of a kind creations, all of which are handmade of fleece, cotton, and occasionally more exotic fabrics like faux fur. My workshop is small but filled with creative energy. Every item in my shop is sewn with love - for the creation and the eventual adopter.

Bicycle Wall Hanging
A little red bicycle with a basket of flowers and books - few things say summer to me more than this! To celebrate the coming of summer, I designed and created this bicycle wall hanging. It incorporates my love of appliqué, bicycles, books, flowers, and polka dots. I wanted this to be as happy a wall hanging as I could manage, and I think I succeeded. This is a completely original design. I used Adobe Illustrator to trace several different kinds of bicycles until I got it looking like an old-timey two wheeler. For the flowers and books in the basket, I fussy cut from appropriate fabrics that spoke to me. (You can't really see the books in the basket but they are there.) It is machine appliquéd and quilted, all work done by me.

Ballerina Wall Hanging - Four Swans Dancing
I have always loved the art of Ballet. If I'd been shorter, thinner, and more athletic, I would have dreamt of being a ballerina. Alas, that was not to be. I am a sewer which means I can create ballerinas from fabric and thread. This is the result! The ballerinas are original designs by me. It is machine appliquéd and quilted, also done by me. The wall hanging measures 25 inches wide and 21 inches high, not including the hanging loops secured at the top.

Joyful Elephant Wall Hanging
This handmade wall hanging / lap quilt will be a joyful addition to any room. It features a happy elephant creating bright splashes of different shapes and fabrics. The elephant and splashes are machine appliquéd and quilted, made from 100% pre-washed quilting cotton. It measures 29 inches wide and 35.5 inches wide. It can be used as a wall hanging or a lap quilt. I based this on the pattern "Paisley Splash" from Windham Fabrics, which can be found here: http://www.windhamfabrics.net/cgi-bin/fabricshop/projects.cgi?patternID=438
