Pella, Iowa, United States
Over the years I have served as an art instructor for the local community center and substitute taught for the local high-school and junior-high in our community. During prom and bridal season I live in my sewing room and alter approximately 400 dresses each year. My husband and I have been married 26 years, we have three active children and a fun fluffy bichon to make our family complete.
