| ~ ABOUT ME ~ I have spent several years traveling the country as a working cowgirl on ranches, outfitting hunting trips and running the rodeo circuit. It didn't matter whether I was in Texas Cattle Country or the Montana Mountains I always felt at home. After spending years on the road, somehow, I managed to end up right back in my hometown. But it isn't always about where you end up...It's about the friends you make and the lessons you learn along the way. I love coming up with new color combos! It doesn't matter if I'm dying yarn, blending roving or making paper. I love making unusual color combos work. I learned to use a drop spindle over 15 years ago. A Native American woman taught me while I was working as an outfitter in the Sierras. It was great because it fit into my saddle bags and was wonderful entertainment around the campfire...Believe me, no one wants to hear me sing. LOL! I lost time to spin later but rented a spinning wheel from a local guild a few years ago and recaptured the fiber bug. I spend most of my day with my trusty Pat Green carder at my side filling orders from my eBay and Etsy stores What else... I'm a craftaholic... And I refuse to go through the twelve step program. I enjoy making jewelry, soap, candles and paper goods. I have two large kilns here and I can't wait to find some time to get some neat accessories pieces like buttons and broaches and beads done. I spent over ten years making my living as a Farrier traveling all over. So I also do a little Blacksmithing. ~AND~ The absolute LOVE of my life is the boy pictured to the left. That's my son, Cahl. That's pronounced "Call" just in case you're wonderin'.
