I create and design my "Woolies" from 100% wool which has been felted.  I find beautiful patterned wool sweaters and fabric in thrift stores. My craft gives new life to the sweaters and fabric that I use.  It is also satisfying that I can make comforting products such as pillows, purses, Christmas stockings, ornaments and tea cozies. 

Several years ago, I read a newspaper article about this craft.  Since then, I have formed my own company. I sell my Woolies at craft shows that feature handmade products. I am a member of The Colorado Crafters Guild, and TACtile Textile Art Center at 7777 East Hampden Ave. Suite 114 in Denver, CO. 

I have always enjoyed working in fiber arts. I have experience in sewing, crochet, knitting, cross-stitch, needlepoint,  and quilting. This past year, I learned  needle felting techniques which I am incorporating into my designs.   

My profession was in the field of education.  I began as an elementary classroom teacher, then became a library media specialist.  I like combining children's books with some of my products.
