More about me

consider myself an artist.  I am a beader, gardener, quilter, knitter, writer/poet but my claim to fame is my Christmas Village.  I hand paint the plaster houses and now have around 70 with a huge collection of people, trees and other urban necessities.  After years of setting it up at my house.  IT now is put on display during the holiday season at the Midland County Historical Society's Museum.  lately when I had to describe what I did I used the term MINATURIST but I am not working to scale so that is not entirely accurate.

I am still married to the same neat guy for 37 yrs and have to adult sons who claim to be on their own.  My husband and I are staff to three female Bengal cats.  He has been a member of Eons for quite some time and has posted pictures of our crew at various times.

I adore email, new friends, birdwatching,  and am totally addicted to reading mysteries and inhale them regularly.

 I took the twelve week Artist's Way course and finished another of Julia Cameron Books.  Was President of the local Beading Guild for two years. Treasurer for One (and NEVER want that one again)

 I also deal with chronic myofasial pain (first cousin to Fibromyalgia) and spinal stenosis with spurs and arthritis.  Makes my life interesting to say the least.
