Fashion
I have been designing fashions since I was a little tyke and I never stopped. I have a degree in fashion design, have interned with the NY designer Daryl K, and launched my own clothing line through a boutique in Atlanta which I stopped working on in order to go back to school. I teach sewing and fashion design with community education and I have a background in visuals and merchandising in apparel.
Home Decor
I am a total HGTV junkie and I have been having fun working on decorating our pre-WWII home on a DIY low budget. I am also currently learning how to do wood working. My goal is to be able to make beautiful non toxic, multipurpose furniture with cool antique details and a modern feel. I am scared of power tools that could chop off a finger or worse, so I am almost doing it Amish style. I use no VOC nontoxic paint, stain, and glue. I also use formaldehyde free plywood. Join me in learning this new craft and decorating my house on a DIY budget.
Our Urban Homestead
I am also an urban homesteader. My husband and I have been trying to live a more self sustaining life style. We grow a lot of our own food on a tiny urban plot in Minneapolis, MN and cook mostly from scratch every day. I study health issues and nutrition, and use my creative juices to combine with my love of food (I am a total foodie) to create highly nutritious and highly tasty recipes. You can view my other blog A Minneapolis Homestead for my recipes, to view my health research, and to view our gardening tips and our garden's progress. We grew over 180 pounds of veggies last year!
