Since birth I've been pretty darn crafty. My mom is a reformed hippie and introduced me to weaving, spinning, macrame and sewing at a young age. After getting married I tried my hand at scrapbooking and card making. After my 2nd child I met my friend Knitschmidt and forced her to teach me how to knit. After I had "felt" I had that mastered, I then thought crochet was nifty and got "hooked". Get it?! Felt? Hooked?! I'm also a comedian (in my own head). I am also the owner and editor-in-chief of ColoradoMoms.com and MommyNeedsaBreak.com. My work is featured on 5minutesforSpecialNeeds.com, SavvySource.com, and TimetoPlayMag.com. My husband & I live with our three sons near Denver. My youngest child is on the Autism Spectrum, so I am passionate about connecting with parents with special needs. In my spare time, I knit, crochet, shop, and read. I am also a master tortoise wrangler and expert in getting water out of various electronics (don’t ask).
