eBay My World: ssdesigns( 309)

I don't feel that what I do falls under the category of WORK! I have been stitching since the age of nine with only a short break taken to earn a degree in Special Education and to teach a while, but I'd rather be creating (playing!) all day : - D

English, Spanish

Stitching and knitting, early a.m. walking with a stop for a cup of coffee at the neighorbood coffee house, travel (when we can!), reading, spending time with my ultra-wonderful husband, and spoiling my little grand-nephew - now HE'S a real doll! : - D

Biographies (esp. those of the American presidents and ANYTHING about Audrey Hepburn), Still Life with Crows, Blue Highways (an oldie but a goodie), and too many others to name!

ANYTHING with Russell Crowe (Cinderella Man, Master and Commander, A Beautiful Mind, 3:10 to Yuma, etc.), Breakfast at Tiffany's, Giant, The World's Fastest Indian, The Lion in Winter, The Green Mile, Hannah and Her Sisters, Sense and Sensibility, Remains of the Day, Waiting for Guffman...

Frank Sinatra, U2, soundtracks (Moulin Rouge, Love Actually, etc.), John Lennon, Christmas tunes! All-time-favorite song: There She Goes

Project Runway, Ghost Hunters, Law & Order (SVU and CI), FOX News. All time favorites: Gilmore Girls, St. Elsewhere, Northern Exposure, Dark Shadows (esp. the old black-and-white episodes)!

As mentioned above, I've been stitching since the age of nine, when my best childhood friend and I would create couture (or our idea of it!) ensembles for Barbie and Midge while watching Dark Shadows on summer mornings! In the afternoons, we'd produce fashion shows at the Barbie Boutique, with Ken and Allen sitting in the showroom on their hardboard chairs with their legs uncomfortably shooting straight out in front of them! They were, however, a MOST appreciative audience : - D A highlight of my career occurred when I was asked to reproduce host Sharon Anderson's weddng costume for her doll, which was displayed on her HGTV program Collectable Treasures - what a thrill! I came to eBay with my line of one-of-a-kind doll clothing in April of 2002, and have enjoyed meeting some very lovely people from throughout the world. Thank you to one and all for making eBay such a pleasurable experience!

Payment may be made through PayPal, which I prefer, but I'm always glad to accept either money orders or cashier's checks. For overseas buyers, however, PayPal is the only accepted method of payment (they do the conversions for me!).

I ship Priority Mail at a cost of $4.60 to buyers within the U.S. For overseas buyers, I use (in general, unless they wish the item boxed) a padded envelope and I check with the post in order to determine the exact cost of shipping.
