I've been called a "Jack of all trades....and master of none!"  I enjoy a variety of crafts.  Some I do well, others not so well.  But here is a sampling of the things I enjoy.  Most of what I've created in the past has been for family gifts.  They seem to like them!

Christmas Ornaments 
Dining Room Windows 
Easter Eggs 
Sand Sculpture 
Santas 
Seasonal Skeletons  
Sewing Projects 
Turkey Cookies 
Woodworking 


Paintings
Photography

I used a poured glass technique on my dining room windows.  They are actually storm windows that are attached to the inside.  I can remove them to do Christmas windows.

Most of the Christmas windows have been done on paper.  I've used chart paper and oiled paper.

By far my favorite craft has been my Easter Eggs.  Each one takes from 6 to 12 hours, but the final products are worth the time!

Although I made my own clothes in high school and college, most of my sewing is for projects around the home.

I'm the only woman I know who asked for a band saw for Christmas, but I sure have enjoyed it!

Through the years, the children and I have made hundreds of Christmas tree ornaments.  These are some of my favorites.

I've made several dozen Santas, some soft-sculptured and some with purchased porcelain or plastic heads and hands.

These are just too funny!  I had a real, full-sized skeleton at Jeff Davis that we would dress for holidays.  I got Robin and Brannon each a small one and gave them a complete set of outfits for every occasion!

At the beach, you will find me playing in the sand like a kid!
