~We have three "lil' girls". Hannah our miniature dachshund, who has an obsession with my Mark B-Gone marker. (Sewin' folk know what I'm talkin' about) She has chewed more than I care to mention. She will also smile for ya when y'all tell her how pretty she is! (Yep, it's true) Darla is our Boston Terrier, who gets a bad case of separation anxiety every time I leave the room and snores louder than any human bein' on this here planet. She could really use a bottle of Beano too. Maybe Santa will bring her some for Christmas. Finally, the newest addition is Gracie our Chihuahua. She makes Hannah look like an angel. This 6 pound critter has my husband wrapped around her lil' paw. Maybe she can get him to take out the trash.

~Growin' up, I was surrounded by the love of antiques and collectibles. My dolls are inspired by that love. I've been blessed with my Mama's God-given talent for creativity (along with her nuttiness) and my Daddy's sense of humor. I know he's watchin' over me from Heaven and crackin' a joke or two!

Quality Craftwomenship...

~I have VERY high standards and take great pride in my craft. I have PERMANENTLY coffee stained hands (and kitchen countertops) to prove it. There's a lil' part of me in every doll I make, and it shows!

~I believe in quality over quantity. So not only will y'all see my "beauties" ("critters" too) are FIRMLY stuffed, hand stitched, PAINTED and sanded to perfection.

~I have been creatin’ for as long as I can remember and will continue until these tired ol’ hands won’t allow me to. This is my passion.

~If my creations bring a smile to your face, then I know I’ve accomplished what I set out to do. It’s that simple.
