I'm work in an office by day. My creativity comes out in the evenings and weekends. I enjoy a variety of hobbies. I've published 4 ebooks on Kindle with looming patterns and hope to publish more. My first book is titled "Looming With Leftovers" and I have also published "Hand Signs on the Loom" , "Chess and Checkers on the Loom" and "A Lady Loomer". I hope to build a collection of ebooks, not all about crafts but also about cats and birding and anything else that catches my fancy.
