My Story

I live in North Central Texas with my aging parents, my son, and our 5 (yes, 5!) dogs. Millie is the oldest, I inherited her from my husband when he finished his earthly journey in November of 2023. Ty is my son's dog and is probably the best behaved of any of them - though he does like to jump over the back fence if he thinks we are too slow to let him inside! We don't know the breed of either Millie or Ty. They are just lovable mutts that we can't do without! My parents have Aussie, a full-blooded Australian Shepherd who is very protective of them and growls when the other dogs get too close. We're working on that... Then there's my fur baby, Kodiak - Kodi for short. He's a one-year-old Pitt-bull mix that my daughter rescued for me shortly after my husband passed. He keeps me company and cuddles with me whenever I'm feeling down. He truly helped me through the loss of my husband, and I have no doubt that he was sent to me by God for that purpose. Last, but not least, is Dolly, a Pitt-bull/Lab mix. She came to me unexpectedly when a friend became unable to care for her. She's still very young, and a big stinker, but we lover just the same!

I have 2 adult children. My son stays with me to help with my parents and the upkeep on my house. He's a Godsend if ever there was one. My daughter no longer lives at home, but she is close, and I see her frequently. She is like my best friend. If I ever need a shoulder, I know I can call on her and she'll be there.

So, that's me in a nutshell! I look forward to getting to know you as we embark on this journey of crafting!
