Creations inspired by my grandchildren and others for which I create. I am a retired teacher who is loving this point of my life. I also am a working artist who is currently developing designs for machine embroidery, Cats have always been a part of my life. Pictured is Idgy, my calico friend who departed from my life on March 7, 2009 at the old age of 16-1/2 years. Here she is pictured sleeping on the sofa in my sewing room.
