Hello, I guess it’s about time I filled out my profile. I’m a retired person who’s been in love with making jewelry for years. I love to make beautiful things and work with my hands.

My learning was a little spotty for various reasons (“life”), but I’m finally able to work on jewelry more often now.

I’m obviously not an expert jeweler, as evidenced by the wonky cross displayed on my profile. But…I worked hard on it, am working to get better, and I think that cross is still beautiful. (Plus I didn’t know that photo would be used for my profile, d’oh.)

In my life, I’ve had to work around a brain that doesn’t always work properly (chronic disease), so that’s why I’ve been slow. But everyone has their obstacles, I’ve survived, and it’s given me a great sense of humor. Will appreciate swapping jokes except that my powers of memory are limited.

Thank you for reading all the way to the end.
