About Me

My photo
Joanne S
I have changed a great deal in the five plus years of writing on this blog. I have lost weight, gained weight, lost friends, gained friends, given up fabric and taken it up again. I feel better about myself right now as I approach my 65th birthday. Better able to choose to do the things that make me happy and not the things I feel duty bound to do, just because. I still have boxes of art supplies I haven't used yet which makes me very happy. I love a blank piece of fabric or paper, some pens or thread, and the freedom to just "make" something. Welcome to my world.
