I was born in Hobbs, New Mexico
but have lived most of my life in Oklahoma. I began sewing at the age of 9 (a very long time ago) and have sewn for the public either part time or full time since graduating High School in the 1970s. My favorite type of sewing is Costumes. Whether costumes for a play,
Bridal and Special Occasion Gowns or Native American Dance Regalia. One day In 1990, having a very good corporate job, I sat on my deck and looked around me at all I owned - house, land, new car - and wondered why I was so unhappy.
Then I realized it was because even though I had all the trappings that would make it appear I was living the good life, what I needed most was to be nearer my daughter and granddaughter. So I gave a month's notice and quit the rat race, moved to Wisconsin and have sewn full time since then. I moved back to Oklahoma to help care for elderly relatives. Life is a lot less hurried and I'm able to come and go as I please. And the best part is that I make a living doing what I love. Working a Corporate job brought in more money but being self employed brings in more happiness. Happiness trumps Money My customer's become very dear friends and I must say that I could not ask for more. Life is Good!!! Live it while you can because I think the alternative will be kind of boring!!!
