My Bio

I am a Japanese crafts enthusiast, particularly Japanese silk embroidery, tsumami zaiku with chirimen, temari, and origami. Other crafts include quilted ornament balls and crewel embroidery.

Well, this was me when I started.

Then I got into literature and writing urban fantasy novels. I have 2 completed, and 3 more in the works.

I got into crochet instead and started learning amigurumi, so I can make Japanese dolls in kimono. I have wanted to do dollmaking for a long time.

Then I was hired to take on a Marketing Project, with Graphic Design and Website Development.

I guess I do a little of everything.

Also, I'm an ADHD Autistic, mother of 2 ADHD Autistic kids, and married to an ADHD Autistic.

Life is crazy/weird.

I am in a vocational medical school here in New Mexico, and doing well on my path to become an MA and move into a better living situation. I left my husband some time ago, back in July. Since then I have been trying to stand on my own two feet, having a part time job at the VA hospital and going to school. I've made some new friends, lost others, have a fantastic boyfriend who respects me and is proud of the progress I am making. I do miss my fur babies, but they will come back soon. I just need to graduate this Medical class and finalize my medical assistant training before I can move into better housing and get a well paid full time job that is less stressful. I am looking forward to renting a house and having my cats and dogs come back. This has been a good path for me. I have
