My name is Alicia. I love to make things.

I live with my irrepressible husband, Andy, a sweet Cardigan corgi puppy named Clover Meadow, and two bossy kitties. We play house in a little chocolate-brown cottage in Portland, Oregon, with a neglected rose garden in front and a featherbed-topped hammock out back.

I spend my days in my home studio sewing, crocheting, embroidering, and designing crafts. When I'm not doing those things I'm usually taking pictures, cooking something, eating something, or . . . watching television. Frequently I watch cooking shows on television while eating something.

I love horses, country fairs, the Oregon coast, apples, rock walls, Adirondack chairs, vintage china, fancy grocery stores, Miss Marple, cashmere-blend yarns, Thai food, vanilla, Puget Sound, Peter Pan collars, heart-shaped waffles, Scandinavian import stores, hot coffee, good conversation, laughing children, and old friends.

Thank you for visiting my web site. I'm so happy to have you here!
