My Art
I needle felt and sew toys, dolls, puppets and costumes because they make me smile! I use natural materials in my art pieces because I feel that they’re healthy.

I like gnomes!

Things I love
Animals, beautiful photographs, flowers, books, quality, stylish clothes, shoes, good deeds, humility, traveling, art, architecture, coffee, Mexican food, chocolate, wine, comedies and a dry sense of humor. For more beautiful photos see my Flickr
