Handmade and hand-crafted items from jewelry and candles to crochet, woodworking, drawings, and painting. I am a hobbyist and enjoy the art of creation, whatever the craft. I find that I enjoy a satisfying amount of peace and renewal when I am able to allow myself to be absorbed into whatever I may be crafting. I also enjoy a diverse range of art-related activities, without holding myself to perfection. For myself, I find that if I am trying to make something perfect, I lose the flow that pours through me, and in turn the enjoyment I get from crafting. I am enamored when my ideas take on lives of their own through the vehicle of creation.
