Bio
Adventure is essential- if an opportunity to do something fun, maybe a little crazy, or totally different comes my way, I'm in.
Full moon hike Haleakala Crater, skydive, scuba with a shark, snorkel sunken ships, squid fishing? Heck yeah!

Pull Up a Loop
“Maybe you could finish it and send it back to me.” That was my introduction to the world of crochet. Well, that was my second introduction. When I was a pre-teen, my mother attempted to teach me how to do a chain, but I couldn’t get my fingers right and I was too impatient to practice. After my mom passed away, she’d left behind a few skeins of yarn and an afghan she had started. My dad couldn’t bear to donate it and he brought it to me all the way from California. Crocheting was so much a part of who she was, and she had made some fabulous things. I remember when she crocheted doilies that she’d lay over a bowl and starch, and they’d magically become Easter baskets. Afghans were her go-to though. She had to make them long enough, so Dad’s feet were covered – extra yarn required for a 6’ 1” man. She would have wapped me if I had ever said this out loud, as Filipino moms are apt to do, but my God I don’t know what possessed her to do a mustard yellow and brown one. Gross! Those colors influenced my younger brain to never crochet. What a weird association, right?
