This is my first post on my new blog - pull up a chair and get to know me better.

Creating is fun. I grew up in a home that valued creating things. My earliest memories of crafting is when my mother taught me to use her sewing machine. We always had a special crafting room with tables full of lots of supplies that had been collected from nature and yard sales. We had a little bit of everything. At one point we had a basement full of ceramic molds and a kiln for firing our creations, rock tumblers, and the list goes on and on.

I love to try new things and share ideas, so if you have a craft, a special place, a recipe, a pet that's special to you, or something fun you’d like to share, please join me on my new blog.

My interest are family, pets, and my crafting. Currently I have a shop WestCoastCraftyGirls.etsy.com where I have my polymer, crochet, and felting creations for sale. I am also on Etsy at CozyCatDesigns.etsy.com. I just opened this shop for my items related to cats, but West Coast Crafty Girls still has some cat related items there. Cozy Cat Designs has handcrafted unique cat beds and will have gifts for cat lovers. If you love cats or are looking for a special gift for a cat lover, please check out my shop.
