        It was perfect for me because I was able to work around my class schedule. After my freshman year one man contracted with me just to sew for him. He bought a lot of fabric and gave me pictures of what he liked and I sewed exclusively for him as I needed money.

    Fun fact. Hmmm. My BFF as a child was an invisible friend… His name? Fixananno. Why Fixananno? Cause my mom always said when she had enough money she was going to have someone come fix her piano. Guess in my little head everything would be good if we could have someone fix the piano? Lol.

    I raised a baby pig when I was little…a little runt that I begged the farmer for me to have just like in the story Charlotte’s web. For years an easy gift to give me was anything ‘pig’ I even received a pig gargoyle to grace our marriage home doorstep for my wedding…I don’t get many pig gifts anymore, but that pig still graces our doorstep!
