Hello Everyone
I am Emily. My daughter Tracy has talked me into creating this blog. I hope you enjoy reading it and learning what I have been doing.
I am a social worker by profession but enjoy all types of crafts, fiber arts, cooking, painting, reading, and knitting. I love to create! My husband Paul calls me the knitting machine. It also drives me crazy when people call me crafty. I prefer Artisan. Sounds better and states what my fiber arts really mean, at least to me.
Paul and I moved to Peachtree City, GA about a year ago. It has been an adventure and I will share with you some of the adventures that I have taken and will take. Like the fact that I am trying to visit every knitting shop in the Atlanta metro area. I have visited some great ones already and have seven more to go. I also have tried to visit all the interesting places I have heard about in the local area. This August my daughter Tracy and her two dear friends DeeDee and Carrie came to visit. We all went on a Segway Tour of Downtown Atlanta. We visited the New World of Coke Cola, the Georgia Aquarium, and Harry’s Farmers Market.
I was born and raised in the Detroit Michigan area. I got married to Paul in 1970 and have three great kids, Tracy, Timothy, and Peter. Our family is about to increase this January 26th when Peter gets married to Emily. I will be writing more about that later. I have one sister Yvonne and brother-n-law Dick. Paul is one of six siblings. You’ll get to know my family and friends as they are a very important to me. So is my faith in god and all the great things he has been up to in my life.
Hope you enjoy my ramblings and happenings.
Emily
I am beyond inspired by what I have read – I too love to create. Thank you for starting your blog!
Peace
Hi Emily,
I hope you get this message. I loved hearing from you on our blog. Since I don’t have your email I’m responding here. Our phone number is xxx-xxx-xxxx. We should be in Miami Beach around the time you are in Fort Lauderdale. How about a reunion in Miami or the area. We aren’t sure where we’ll be anchored because of weather but I’d love to see you. I check my mail when we can get wifi – hopefully we will again in a week or so, but you could call when you get to your condo and we can let you know where we are.
Love, Laurie
Emily! I love your blog! Thank you for inspiring all of us! : ) See you at CBS!
Hi Emily….I enjoyed your blog…I too am “crafty” but those who dont create, (in the beginning) don’t understand our need to make something with our hands…

Sounds like we are a lot alike…I am getting ready to start a blog here too as I am trying to start an ebay store for selling art and marine articles…anyway, could ramble on, but wanted to recommend that you go to the High Museum in downtown Atl….you can see pictures of me taking my daughters art group (they are in college) there last month…go to morrisartscool.ning.com….hope you will make a page and blog there too!! Good luck…your paintings are fab!! xxoo
