About Me (yes, it’s all about me – me me me!)

Atelier: an artist’s or designer’s studio or workroom

I live with my husband and four fabulous kitties in Michigan. I truly love it here… ocean-like quantities of fresh water for boating and swimming, beautiful beaches, gorgeous summer days and autumn color explosions. Winter, I could do without. We dislike it more by the year. I’ve lived here most of my life, except for a few years in the Florida Keys, where a good chunk of my heart still resides. We visit as often as possible (thank goodness I still have family in the area), and love the lifestyle, weather and especially snorkeling and diving.

When I’m not working or volunteering through church, I love to quilt and sew little things. This is still new to me, and I’m finding my way, but I simply love pretty fabrics and embellishments and learn new things all the time. I’ve also recently become interested in beading. Heaven help me if I find any more interests! LOL

Beyond that, I love to read, write, travel, play the piano and violin, and watch old movies with my hubby.

My goal with my blog is to share images and thoughts of meaning to me, and perhaps show some of my crafted or written projects.
