Mom of adult children, happily married to my business partner (we have a bicycle repair and build shop), building an adobe house and living in a schoolie on site in the meantime. It’s an adventure. (New in 2026, I also just started my own tax prep and bookkeeping business!)

I paint (watercolor mostly), draw, sew, knit, bake (all gluten-free), can, garden, and generally make as much as I can from scratch. I have been an art teacher, a special ed teacher, a Girl Scout leader, and a stay at home mom. I was on the old site as SuomiSidhe. I’m also the vice-president for my local watercolor society.

For craft swaps, about me: I love earthy colors, purples, wildflowers, coyotes, song birds, hawks, ravens, black cats, big earrings that won’t fall out of my previously stretched piercings, kitchen stuff, batik, ATCs, magnets, bicycles, knitting stitch markers, art history nerdiness, coffee (& wine), retro kitsch cowgirls, bizarre cute, and dark humor.
