My Journey So Far

  Important message to my many wonderful customers: I have opened two new stores on ETSY and am going to move my jewelry off of ebay soon. You can buy your favorite pieces here right now but do it quickly or look for them in my ETSY store called FantasyCreations1. Turning 53 has brought many changes into my life, particularly from the administration of ebay. I, and many other small sellers are leaving ebay as soon as we can.  I am now establishing a new business named FantasyCreations1 on ETSY to sell my beautiful handcrafted jewelry and stuffed animal patterns online.  I hope that this is a huge success because my passion is designing and creating beautiful patterns and handcrafted jewelry that make people smile.  I've been selling my jewelry at a local gallery, as well as at science fiction conventions.  People who buy my jewelry have told me that they feel a connection to it because it "speaks" to them on some deep level.  I strive to create pieces which are not "trendy" but timeless.  I want my designs to say something important about the person who wears them.  I want the wearer to feel as special and unique as my creations are.  No two pendants or brooches I bead embroider is ever identical to any other.

Stuffed Animal Designer  

  Many years ago, in the 1980s, I had my own gift shop and I designed and sold life-like handcrafted stuffed animals.  I had over 100 patterns that I created.  I remember telling people that I made smiles for a living. I self published 13 stuffed animal patterns to sell and have recently added a number of new patterns to the collection you can buy to make your own Fantasy Creations stuffed animal designs. My ebay customers are very happy with my pattern designs--Please check my feedbacks. 

Hobbies and Interests

You might also want to know that I love animals, I love to read books and write poetry, I'm a long time fan of Bobby Sherman, I listen to Celtic music, and I love to dance at Oregon's science fiction convention every year.  I have spent 10 years as a public school teacher.  I am interested in writing books, particularly a book about ADHD, which would include the stories of people who have ADHD and how they have learned to cope with the challenges that life has presented them.  I support several charities whenever I can: World Vision, a little hospital in Kenya, the Red Cross, and Northwest Medical Teams.  I taught children in my church's Summer program how to make jewelry out of polymer clay.
