About Me:

My husband and I make all different characters out of gourds for the garden, home, gifts etc. Almost anything I can come up with using a gourd, jewelry, birdhouses, flower arrangements etc. I also love to sew and paint on milk cans and saw blades. We also love to do gardening and work in our yard.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Working on projects for upcoming craft shows and orders for our customers.
