I live with my husband & 10 little dogs. I have lived in southeastern Manitoba for about 20 years, but my family comes from Ireland; I get a lot of inspiration from my Irish heritage.

I started doing beadwork & leather work while I was living in the Northwest Territories during the 70s. I really didn't do to much after that, until the late 90s . I became very ill & couldn't do too much, I needed a hobby. I rediscovered beadwork. I found Sheryl Hamilton's site & became a customer. I asked her to vote on a entry of mine on a site. She did, & after convinced me to start selling some of it.

Now if a day goes by & I don't play with my beads something is very wrong.

I started making my own cabs because I couldn't find what I wanted anywhere. This is new to me & I have a long way to go.
