About Me

Native Texan. Married with a Dogs Lucy and JoJo. I am a massage therapist.

I love to garden, drink coffee, scrapbook, crochet, upcycle, sew, collect (sewing patterns, buttons, fabric, paper, ribbon, ... ). I can't get enough vintage patterns, fabric, ephemera, stuff...I also enjoy "junking" by way of thrift stores, garage sales, flea markets, antique stores, estate auctions, ebay...

FABRIC: I love geometric prints and vintage florals (retro 50s and 60s, not prairie or Laura Ashley like).

SEWING PATTERNS: I would love to receive anything from the 1970s or older. All Clothing, aprons, purses. In Texas, sundress patterns are put to good use!

Other hobbies: We camp and hike when we can. I enjoy the outdoors and traveling the off-beaten paths. I am not religious, but I am spiritual.

Favorite Color: Green, but love all colors.

Favorite Music

Natalie Merchant, REM, Gipsy Kings, All old country. World Music, I love the CDs produced by the Putamayo label.

Favorite Books

All time favorite: Dances with Wolves

Favorite Television

Modern Family, Alias, Arrested Development, The Office, Project Runway, Breaking Bad, Downtown Abby, Suits, Justified, Survivor, and "Reality" TV that I shouldn't admit to...

Favorite Crafts

Scrapbooking Sewing Crochet Paper craft
