I make everything in a home workshop with the help of friends and family who keep me sane and remind me to make dinner. I have a serger and a sewing machine and way too much material to store conveniently. My current models are two dress forms, Esperanza, an Extra Small/Small and Rebecca, a Small /Medium. I like Esperanza designs more, since she is lightweight and easy to design on. She is also the better conversationalist and a true diva.
I gain inspiration from the natural world around me and a sweet friendship with Jesus who is what my life is all about. I like to walk in the woods and on the beach, sip cocoa and see old movies. I like old houses, retro and vintage fashion and chocolate. I love shopping in thrift stores and at jumble sales. I have a weakness for wonderful shoes and poetry and gentle things, like tiny children and sea otters.
