Who is Shelly?

Well, here is the low down on me. I am a happily married mother of three. I have been a professional decorative artist for 10+ years. My expertise is in decorative plasters and mural art, but I do it all quite well.

I have been knitting and sewing since I was 6. I tend to be a free thinker when it comes to my needle projects. I sketch out designs and then put them together. I rarely use a pattern and if I do, I don't typically follow it to a T. I love playing with color and texture and am always a little sad when I finish a project. For me, it is as much about the creative process as it is about the final product.

I tend to be a fiber whore. If I like it, I buy it even if it means that I skip the Ben & Jerry's this week. I have enough yarn to supply an given store and am convinced that I will use it all some day. As you might have already guessed, I am a creative fiend. I always have multiple projects on the needles (knitting, sewing, and otherwise) and dozens dancing in my dreams.

As I complete projects, I will be posting the pictures. Until then, take a look at my website at http://www.shellycreates.com/

A Little Bit About Me!

I am the mother of three great kids. My two boys, Austin, 13, Connor, 11, and MadyRose, 8.

Austin is a great kids and hasn't become an obnoxious teen yet. He loves to skateboard and ski. He is quite the brain, but you would never consider him a geek.

Connor is a cutie. He is my adventure junkie and loves every challenge that comes his way! He too is very smart, but would prefer to bike in the woods!

MadyRose is our diva. She loves life and dreams of someday becoming Miss. Adventure! She has been dancing and acting since she was a pip squeek. Some day she will be famous, no doubt about it!

This is my gang! Next post will be my Prince Charming, my husband John.
