- It's probably time that I added something here. I've been blogging for a while now. When I started I wondered how long I could really blog daily. There are been some quiet times, but overall I blog more days a week then I don't and often enough that I don't think I have to change the title. My name is Amy. I'm a NH resident, born and raised, and can't think of anywhere I'd like to live. I am near the seacoast, not far from the mountains and for a rare need for the city, Boston is just 1 hour or so away. Great location and I love it. I have been crafting, probably my whole life. There is a huge piece of sheet rock in my parents basement. I used to paint cartoon characters on my bedroom wall, mom and dad thought it was great...so when they modified my room they kept a huge piece of one wall that had a big mural on it. I learned to sew at a young age and while working at a group home for 3 years I made the girls PJ's and Fancy dresses for Easter and Christmas. I taught several of them to sew their own PJ bottoms. I've never been a great cook, but am forcing myself to learn. You'll get to go along on that journey if you read the blog. I was scarred as a child by manual (slave) labor in the family vegetable garden. I'm trying to overcome the trauma with exposure therapy, by planting my own HUGE garden...okay, only as big as my front yard, but that's pretty big considering how deep the scars run. You can join me in that adventure too. I run an online business selling tools I have designed to people who make glass beads (I have some polymer clay customers, too). I make glass beads, sometimes, but not as much as I'd like. It's a fun business, that involves my family, too. I find the best way for me to relax is a big tub filled with warm water and bubbles. A good book (Jodi Picoult, usually). I love my family, husband Christopher and our baby girl. She's actually a toddler, but we still call her the baby...so does she. She encourages a lot of my sewing and knitting...baby things are so fun and usually FAST! I'm a end product gal, and not so much a process person, but I'm working on that...maybe someday. But that is not what I did today!
