Illusions Artisian Studio

Hand knits and jewelry made by me. Mostly my things are one of a kind. My creative side fights making many multiples of the same item. I have been a crafter almost all my life beginning with making my dolly clothes as a young child. I always got a craft kits for gifts so my creativity was always encouraged. In school I took all the sewing classes and was doing needlework as a hobby early on. I learned to knit (well) a couple of years ago and one of my friends gave me a jewelry making kit around the same time. She thought I could make money at it. I wasn't so sure, but she was right. After establishing myself locally I ventured into online sales a few months ago. I am a faux finish painter by profession and the crafting gives me a different kind of creative outlet

Check out her studio. she has some very pretty hats.

Turtle Hill Studio offers a variety of handcrafted items from one-of-a-kind hand painted glassware and decorative items, crocheted creations, and hand stamped greeting cards and scrapbook decorations.

I've been a crafter for as long as I can remember. I won't tell you exactly how long that has been, but I will say that I'm retired and a grandmother to three. Though I no longer teach, I'm a certified One-Stroke instructor and have taught over 400 people decorative painting. Through the years, I've had several of my craft designs published in such magazines as Crafts and Crafts and Things.

Every morning, when we wake up we have twenty-four brand new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy and happiness to ourselves and others. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

This is a powerful quote! I worry about wasting an hour. I think I should fill in every nano-second because I won't be around very long and wonder what God would think if I didn't use my time well. I know that some of the stuff I want to do is trivial and maybe I am wasting time doing things like painting or crocheting,but God gave me the ability to create so it would be wasteful not to.
