A Few Words About Maria
My interest in art and crafts began in childhood and blossomed in the 70’s when I started quilting and sewing. I have taught a variety of art and craft classes in afterschool programs, craft stores and homes.
I am an artist, designer, instructor. I enjoy working with a variety of craft techniques, mixed media, paper crafts and I love adding art to our daily lives.
I enjoy making items that are functional, inspirational and just plain fun! I also enjoy sharing these projects and helpful hints with others.
My posts are the day-to-day happenings in life that celebrate nature, reading, hobbies, art and the ability to “do”.
