Crafts are my most favourite creations: -> Cedar Ribbon Roses (roses made from ribbon in a Cedar Rose pattern) -> Beaded necklaces (taught from a Scandanavian lady, personal touch extended pattern and added pendants) -> Beaded Chief Headdresses (seen many and created without being taught, just by checking out others) -> Carved Pumpkins (tried carving wood with Master Carver family, but carved my fingers more).

Help the family out so much (emotionally draining due to our many recent losses), getting creative takes me out of the zombie-head mode. Getting Crafty makes me feel productive and I always make sure I'm in a good frame of mind before I put anything of myself into my arts. Thinking of my Baby Sister who used to craft all the time helps lift my heart feeling her Spirit with me while I create as she watches from the next life.

Help my Mother with her forever home that my Father left her (he'd passed away in December). There's so much work that needs to be done in their home so she can live without having so much where she had relied on him. Now it's time to help her move forward independently. I would also like to get sufficient supplies to share the artwork I've learned, whether its with our community or just with my Family.
