In 1999, my husband crossed the ocean to meet me for the first time
after corresponding for years...we had exchanged names in French class
(me in the United States and him in Australia) when we were 14. We got
married after 10 days - his visit was supposed to be 2 weeks. Almost 10
years later, we have two wonderful kids....Missy C and Matey Moo, both
in Elementary school and our pride and joy! How did two geeks, create
such cute kids?!

Being a Mom has proven to be the most
wonderful thing about my life...I adore my kids and would rather spend
time with them than anything else. I'm not a perfect Mother, but most
of the time enjoy my "job" and I think my kids enjoy me.

A few years ago, I dug out my grandmother's crazy quilt
and started researching "fixing" it (the silk had all shattered). This
started my long exploration of embroidery, quilting, crazy quilting and
all things fiber arts.

We love
our 1950's ranch, which exists (out of sheer dumb luck) in a really
cool neighborhood in Denver. My husband just recently came to work full
time with my business...Widget Inc...and so we work together, out of
our cool house! (good thing we like it, eh?)

In the end, this blog is not a craft blog, but a blog about me...so if I divert from the "norm" it's because that's life!
