I enjoy lots of hobbies, especially jewelry making, needlework, cake decorating and card making.
I also love to cook & read. (see the "Recipes" & "Book List" sections)
Here are some jewelry hints, instructions for card/flower techniques
and of course, lots of examples of the results of my hobbies.
My jewelry hobby is now a small business,
