I am still trying to raise funds for our cats health care and Vetting.  I have created a code RESCUE20 to offer 20% off of all the items in Both my handmade shop on Etsy and my Vintage shop. the shops are:

I create and design handcrafted Jewelry, mini quilts and wall hangings and embroidery art.  I do this because I suffer from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Migraine and several other "hidden" syndromes which prevent me from being able to get and maintain a "regular" job. I also enjoy crafting and have for my lifetime.  I also run my own website www.DeanasQuiltsandMore.com for people to be able to purchase my creations without having to have an Etsy account.

I have always had a passion for animals, and I am a caregiver to 7 indoor cats, 9 feral cats, 2 Macaws, 2 Bearded Dragons and 2 Ferrets. Most all of them have been rescues.  I enjoy all of them, as each one has it's own personality.

I enjoy doing what I do, because I can do it at my own pace, and don't have any deadlines to meet.  I Love Native American Culture as well as Oriental Cultures and this shows in some of my works.  My mother dabbled in ceramics, painting, leather craft, basket weaving, knitting, sewing and quilting.  My father has worked with wood and built guns from scratch, so I guess my creativity and Love of the art of crafting comes from both of them. 

I really don't know much about blogging, so I stop in from time to time just to write to myself, I guess.
