Welcome Crafters or Wannabe Crafters!!!!

Greetings!!!

I am excited to start this new journey in sharing everything I know about crafting and I hope you join me on this journey.  I have been crafting since I was six when my mother taught me how to cross stitch, then it blossomed from there.  My Grandmother taught me how to crochet when I was nine and sewing when I was ten.  I love to learn new crafts and I can't go a day without crafting, whether its sewing, crochet or candle making. Crafting is an outlet for me, more of a therapy in my daily life.  I would go crazy without crafting, this is actually cheaper than talking to a shrink, lol!  I have a long list of crafting techniques that I'm  excited to share with the world.  Here's a list of all of the crafts I know how to do:

• Sew
• Crochet
• Arm Knitting
• Kniting
• Bookbinding
• Origami
• Tole Painting
• Embroidering
• Duct Tape Crafts
• Tatting
• Candlemaking
• Soap making
• Making Bath and Body Items (lotion, lip balm, bath salts, body scrubs, body butter, etc)
• Clothing Couture (turn you plain clothing into high fashion)
• Zentangle
• Cute Doodling
• Quilting

 I have worked for Joann fabric for seven years (four years at the store in Harrisville, Utah and three years at the  store in Tooele, Utah) . I have also taught classes for four years (three years at the store in Tooele and one year now at the store in Clinton.  I have taught many classes like knitting, sewing, crochet, kid crafts, jewelry and quilting at the Tooele store.  In the Clinton store I am currently teaching sewing, crochet and kids crafts.  I love teaching and showing people the fun world of crafting.  I am excited on showing you what I know and I how do things to produce my art, sometimes it's not the right way hence the "Unorthodox". I hope you keep checking my blog for updates and if there is something you would to learn how to make, please let me know.  I want your input.  If you have any questions about my tutorials and patterns please let me know. 

Thanks for stopping by!!!!
