Cherish

I love to make things (especially gardening, baking, and arts and crafts), to read long books, thrift store shopping and camping in the great outdoors. The art and crafts I enjoy include painting with oil or watercolor, printmaking, drawing, pottery, dollmaking and anything with yarn. I like to make images of flowers, tree bark, and beetles (not necessarily all together but maybe). My favorite colors (right now!) are orange, all greens, and black.
