My Philosophy...
 I believe everyone can learn the skills they desire if they put their mind to it. When teaching a class I always ask that participants "stick with me" and I will figure out a way to teach them that works for them.
My Story...
 I grew up in South Redford, MI, moved to Ann Arbor as a college student - and have been here ever since. I have an elementary teaching degree from Eastern Michigan University. In addition to crafts I also have taught music since 2001 in and around Ann Arbor. I currently teach private music lessons from home, craft classes at Spun and the Ann Arbor District Library, and work at one of the local schools as my "day job".

I never met a craft I didn't try once... that said I have an awful lot of craft supplies that have to be used up, so let's roll with it and learn as many as possible.
