"If you don't believe in something, you'll fall for anything." from SuckerPunch. I am a native Californian, live in the beautiful town of La Mesa in San Diego county with my wonderful husband and our cuddly cat, Brutus. I own The Crafty Maiden, which is made up of handmade items that are inspired by Paganism, Steampunk, Geek and a dash of Gothic. I make one of a kind jewelry pieces as well as some decor. I love to spend time with my husband, family and friends. I read, watch movies, lots of cop/forensic/ investigation TV shows and play video games. My favorite video game at the moment is Star Wars The Old Republic. I love to sit out on my patio with a hot cup of coffee or tea in the morning, watching the world wake up. Sunsets and sunrises are some of my favorite things but I really do love almost everything nature has to offer. I spend a lot of time in Old Town and Balboa Park enjoying the architecture and age of the areas and let my hometown inspire my work. Thanks for visiting my page and reading my bio!
