"hand me my purse, will you, darling? a girl can't read that sort of thing without her lipstick." ~holly golightly

i was a fashion major in college and i can craft and sew like a maniac.  i love to cook and i'm not afraid to use power tools.  how i ended up in, arguably, the worst place to live with these talents is a long story.  i won't bore you with the details but i will say that i think my life's journey is to teach others how to embrace their creativity; whether that be refinishing yard sale furniture or making tuesday's dinner into a delectable masterpiece.  i just want to help people unleash their inner martha, and have a little fun while doing it.  

so, i guess the morale of the story is that i want to teach people all the things that i know about being a  paint stripping, jewelry making, vintage loving, crafty woman.  

pictures and tutorials to come shortly.
