About Me

My photo
I’m married (for the 2nd time) just over a year now. I have 3 children ages 21, 17 & 16 as well as a daughter who is 21 years old from my husband’s previous marriage (not a typo) and recently married so I am now a mother-in-law as well. I think it’s great!! All my love to both of them!!! As long as they wait to have children until he is out of the Army! I’m also a Nursing student in my 2nd year of school. I’m seriously considering a change in my major to Nutrition. Much as I want to be a Nurse, I think becoming a Nutritionist may be the avenue I choose. I am fluent in American Sign Language and speak Italian as well. I also love the outdoors, camping, hiking, riding motorcycles with my husband, and the beach are among a few. I hate the cold but I love snowball fights with my family. I enjoy crochet of all kinds, but there’s something about the detail when it is done with crochet thread that I especially love. I try to spend as much time as I can enjoying life and what it has to offer.

Red Guitar Bracelet

This Guitar Bracelet is done in odd-count Peyote Stitch. Drawing out the pattern was actually more difficult than creating the bracelet itself. I also have a pattern for an electric guitar but have not started it yet. Once I do, the photos will be posted here.


The bracelet measures just under 7" and the end of the "neck" of the guitar has a small loop that wraps around a toggle on the body of the guitar.

Victorian "Fan"tasy Necklace

Aptly named Victorian "Fan"tasy Necklace due to the 6 fans around the necklace. The greens & copper tones used in this pattern evoke for me, a very Victorian theme.











Beaded Tea Sets

Below are photos of a beaded tea set whose original design was Diane Fitzgerald's pattern. I altered it a bit though not by much.


The cream colored tea pot has a creamer, sugar bowl, tea cup & saucer, as well as a small beaded spoon that matches it. The blue teapot is not part of a set, yet.
