The grandmother of a small toddler who lost their family dog once contacted me to customize a felt plushie of the dog's likeness to help the toddler deal with the loss. The therapist recommended it, and I was able to craft the plushie to look exactly like the dog and the grandmother contacted me with such a beautiful email. I love when my work can be rewarding — it means a lot!

I love animals with a passion (especially dogs!), and am always trying to figure out my next character. I also find great inspiration in nature and fabrics.

I take custom orders for customers who would like the likeness of their pets recreated in a felt plushie form or into a bag with their pet as an applique, so those take the longest to finish. I take the pet's photo, import it into Adobe Illustrator, then cut each felt piece out to recreate the pet. Once I had a client ask me to create a coin purse from a photo of her pet chameleon!

Simple but fun.

Watching movies, listening to podcasts, drinking a hot beverage, singing or hanging with friends.

Hmm, I honestly can't think of one reality show I'd like to be on. If there was a show that allowed people to compete as Harry Potter characters, I would love it!
