Hello world. This is my bio. I can edit it later! http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/magscrafts Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:25:59 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.squidoo.com/magscrafts This lens is meant to be an overview of what is going on in my "studio" (ok, it is my dining room table and a table in the bedroom for sewing!). I create jewelry and other beaded items and sewn items like necktie bags, eyeglass cases, recycled jeans purses and an occasional quilted bag. I have my own website, an Ebay store and an etsy store. shopping Sun, 13 Jul 2008 08:55:08 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/sensory-integration When our youngest was a toddler, we knew he had speech issues, but we did not have a name to put to his sometimes bizarre sensitivities. He ended up getting tested and diagnosed with Sensory Integration Dysfunction, and that helped us (and him) get help and learn coping strategies to help get us all though. kids Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:45:18 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/mags-seo Ok, this lens is the second in my series of lenses to house any info I am finding about topics I am trying to research.  I have recently moved my website, and now I need to get really serious about getting it found by people, so I am building this research lens about Search Engine Optimization! education Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:48:39 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/quilting-for-fun I started quilting as a teenager to make my brother's each a wedding gift. Those first attempts were memorable to say the least, but ugh, that's all I'll say. I have since made a quilt for each of my family members and also some for friends. I don't think I will ever sell my quilts though, because that would increase my stress level. The main secret for quilting for fun, and not getting stressed out, for me anyway, has been to choose patterns that I love, and not to demand perfection. diy Wed, 18 Jun 2008 14:54:22 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..BBEST BBEST-Boomers and Beyond Etsy Street Team Group for members of the BBEST team on etsy! shopping Tue, 12 Feb 2008 09:10:03 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/fiber_arts I have been attracted to working with fibers for years and years, but I have a hard time thinking of myself as an artist. I think because I am a scientist by training. I recently started trying to find ways to push myself out of the comfort zone on this subject- I spent decades following "rules" and now I want to make up my own! diy Sat, 21 Jun 2008 23:45:47 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/magsgems I decided I need to get myself more educated about gemstones so that I can make informed decisions when I purchase beads for my jewelry making.  I am using this lens to collect and hold the information I find. diy Fri, 20 Jun 2008 21:26:49 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/leave-the-nest My oldest son is getting ready to go off to college next fall, so I am collecting information on the things he needs to know before he goes... kids Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:55:13 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/youth-football This is a lens about youth football, the pros and cons, and how it can become all consuming. But also how much a kid can love it, and feel really great about playing. sports Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:52:06 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/magsPMC This is the 3rd in my series of research lenses- this one is a look into the exciting world of working with Precious Metal Clay! diy Fri, 20 Jun 2008 20:44:44 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/groups..quality-sellers Quality Sellers Homework Group We are a group of sellers on Ebay who are working together to build our Squidoo lenses. business Sun, 02 Mar 2008 22:22:47 -0600
