Speed Trials

There are two types of people in this world: the thinkers and the doers.  From a very young age, I was labeled a thinker, and my parents made sure to cultivate my brain, more than my hands.  It was my grandmother who taught me to sew when I was just 7 years old.  And from that moment I knew I wanted to be one who created, who used my hands, made things.  I’ve always loved to sew, and in my 20′s I taught myself to knit. Here are some of my sewing and knitting projects (and a few other crafty things too):
