I've always loved creating things, although I really only started sewing a few years ago. I mainly make clothes for myself, although I've also been known to make bags for other people.

I collect (hoard?) fabric and vintage patterns. I think I have more of both than I could use in my lifetime. And still I buy more. I can spend hours looking through my patterns and fabric.

I also make some jewelry using sterling silver and semi-precious stones. I've recently purchased some fine silver and non-tarnishing copper in very fine gauges in order to start making some wire-wrapped pieces. Come to think of it, I may have more beads and wire than I could ever use. I see a theme here. :)
