Putting pen to paper...

I am a long-time crafts & DIY writer and designer in the publishing industry with several magazines, special interest publications, and books to my name as both editor and design contributor. This includes titles for brands like Taste of Home, Country Woman Magazine, and Leisure Arts. I also authored a kid's felt crafts how-to book called "Felting Projects You Won't Be Able to Resist" for Capstone Publishing in January 2018. I recently launched my own little self-publishing business called 123 Journal It in January 2017 too. Through it, I enjoy designing and writing bible study and hobby journals part-time and have produced over 100 so far. My passion is with writing and designing quality print publications to help others grow and enjoy life.

A few of my books...

Felting Projects You Won't Be Able to Resist

This collection of how-to projects will take a crafty kid's imagination to the next level. Building on a base interest of felting this book will show kids the basics and beyond!

The book includes sewing craft felt, wet felting, and needle felting techniques with several projects and step-by-step instructions with photos. It is for grades 4-8 and intended as a teaching tool for adults and children.



Review excerpt by the School Library Journal online, SLJ.com, on April 24, 2018 
For the complete "Crafty Creations" set of books by four authors, including myself


"Fiber craft books written for young people often avoid the more technical stuff. Not so here—these are more like textbooks, with strong images and lots of space dedicated to basic techniques, eight to 16 simple projects, and plenty of opportunity to get comfortable with tools, notation, and terminology. Machine and hand sewing, knitting flat and in the round, wet and dry felting, pressing, and gathering are all covered. In addition, best practices, which, as experienced makers know, add time and complexity to a project, are included and will help guarantee professional-looking results. VERDICT:­ Crafters will be ready to read and follow almost any pattern or set of instructions after working through these books."
