About Me

Hi. I’m Denise. I’ve been a sewist for over 60 years, jeweler for over 20 years, dabbler in many things like WordPress, Silhouette Cameo, wool (needle-felting, drop spinning, crocheting and knitting), cooking since I was 8 (gluten-free for over 35 years), orchids,  genealogy, and arts of all kinds. Lately, I’ve been making books, journals and cards.

I’ve started a model village that will represent Three Pines from Louise Penny’s mystery series whose main character is Inspector Armand Gamache. I absolutely love this series. I talked about them so much to my daughter, who also loves mysteries,  that my granddaughter began listening to them as audio books. She was 12. Soon all her friends had read them and the middle school librarian had read them and ordered them for the school library. I love being an influencer! Ha!
