Maria has a BA in Accounting, is a member of Etsy teams, Gulf Coast Crafters and Team Vintage USA.  She always sets time aside for crafting/sewing and creates her own patterns from scratch.

"I love making different kinds of crafts. Sewing is one of my passions. I learned to sew when I was 13 years old."

And sew she does!

Here are just a few of my favorites.

Marty Bowl

is an adorable plush that would make any child smile and I especially

love this piece as his name is that of my older brother "Marty".

New to her collection and what would make a great accessory to any kitchen is this marvelous

Fancy Hand Towel

with Native American print.

100% Cotton and machine washable.

For the military enthusiast or the military Dad, this awesome

United States Navy

fabric folder would make a great gift for Father's Day!

The ultimate Father's Day gift

and center piece of any "Man Cave"

would definately be this masterpiece of

Clay Over Liston

 A TRADITONAL OIL PAINTING ON CANVAS OF CASSIUS CLAY (NOW KNOWN AS MUHAMMAD ALI) STANDING VICTORIOUSLY OVER SONNY LISTON.  30" X 30"

Naturally

With Spring now upon us (Wow, where did March go??), I thought I'd get a jump on my April featured post in hopes to stay just a little ahead of the game.  While browsing through Etsy's assemblage of truly wonderful shops.  It's so hard to chose just who I'd like to feature, so I put all the names of the shops I select on a little piece of paper, drop them all in a jar, shake 'em up good and proper, close my eyes, then reach in and pull one out, fair and square, no?  

I generally like to notify or ask permission of those whom I choose to feature, but in some cases or if I know the shop owner, I just create the post to "Surprise" them.  With that said, my featured seller has graciously allowed me the honor.

May I introduce you to...
