The last year has been an interesting one starting with
heart surgery! I’ve had health problems since I was 12ish with several different
diagnose over the years and when I started passing out again last summer I got
a new doctor who started from ground zero with all the testing. The most
important test turned out to be a simple monitor for 30 days and at day 5 it
recorded a 12 second pause and within that recording less than 10 hours later I
was in surgery for a pacemaker. The last
year has been a struggle due to the pacemaker I’m not passing out I just
frequently land on my butt headache and grey vision and extreme dizziness. So
we’ve solved a part of the problem and am working on balancing out the rest of
it.
Recently a friend called me a crafting Butterfly! I looked
at her and she laughed saying every time she turned around I had a different craft
or project I was playing with. Laughing I had to agree with her! Hi my name is Maile Alicia and I’m a craft
ENTHUSIAST!!
I have been sewing since I my first sleep over where I sewed
my Lanz nightgown to a shag carpet and our mothers decided we needed lessons J At sixth grade I made
my Halloween costume out of lame! Yikes did I dive into the deep end!!! On my older brothers college tour I taught
myself to knit lol that scarf is 12 feet in length and width stitches from
9 inches to 24 inches and back again!
From Girl Scout camp I learned beading and basic jewelry. In college I continued with my sewing skills
with costumes, accessories, and millinery. I actually got to work with Cirque
Du Soliel and add to my skills. While
on a road trip across the US I met the sweetest Lady sitting in front of an
antique store taught me needle tatt and gave me my first needle and spool of
fabric. I started Scrap booking with my
sisters around 8 years ago. I have always carried a sketch pad and pencils or
pastels with me. There are a myriad of
other crafts and art that I have played, learned, and taught over the years.
I’m sure there is a world more of crafts for me to attempt
take a class and play with. Please send me a line mention your favorite craft
maybe I already play and attempted it or hopefully I can learn a new craft!
