Talking With My Nails
Every two weeks or so, I have me time. I wear acrylic nails. I sculpt, shape and design these artificial beauties for my pleasure. I like to craft all sorts of things in my down time. From waist beads to dresses I don’t think will come to fruition but, I love doing nail art the most.

My Craft is Not a Choice, it's My Culture
I thought I had lost my passion for crafting. Throughout my life, crafting and creativity has always been a major facet of all my hobbies and interests. Pat Catan, Jo-Ann, and Michael were some of my closest friends. In elementary school I got my first Singer brand sewing machine for Christmas, such an exciting and intricate piece of technology for a 9-year-old. With time and encouragement, my mom successfully taught me how to thread my bobbins, cut my patterns, and how to steadily control the foot pedal. I soon began creating my own clothes. I would repurpose old outfits I felt were outdated and upcycled them. I grew up during the fashion transition from bell bottoms to skinny jeans, and from low rise skirts to high waisted. and therefore I spent my weekends marking up, pinning, and cutting my purple corduroy Children’s Place bell bottoms into skinny jeans. Now the first pair, I admit was a bit too tight after forgetting to account for the seam allowance, but I got the hang of it after ruining only three pairs of perfectly good pants. Eventually, I started a small business designing and sewing doggy beds for my mom’s co-workers. I would personalize the doggy beds with iron on letters of the dog’s name. I added tassels on the corners for a bit of tug-of-war fun. And I created a small fabric tag with my initials sewn on it, J.W., for my trademark. I was so proud of what I was able to accomplish with a vision and my own two hands.

My Life with Makeup
I’m from the Dippity Doo generation. Yes I glopped that clear gooey stuff through the strands of my ‘determined to be straight' hair trying to force it into some kind of poofiness worthy of the 1960’s. And, yes, I admit to ratting. Makeup, too, has been a daily part of my morning ritual since those days. Though a little conflicting at the time, the practice even survived my radical Feminist days in the 1970’s.
