About Maria
Welcome to my creative and crafty corner of the world.
First and foremost I love to learn. I believe that is the reason I can knit, crochet, sew, quilt, and machine embroider. It is all about learning I love seeing what everyone else is doing and learning along with and from everyone else. As I learn I am thinking about what I might be able to contribute back to you in turn.
My first career was classroom teacher. I taught first and second grade. It was a magical time in my life. I dearly loved my students. They brought me joy each and every day. I began introducing digital tools into my classroom in the 90s. My love and excitement for the potential of reaching all learners led me into an administrative roll in my school district. I was now helping other teachers integrate the tools I loved into their classroom!
The second career path began when I was hired by Apple to help school districts plan and implement digital tools as a part of their learning infrastructure.
I love my MacBook and have used one since the early 90s. I am always searching for the Mac solutions that support my crafting habit.
Learning and sharing that passion for trying new things is a big part of who I am.
I am a wife of a passionate photographer and musician. The mom of a future pilot. And a servant to three cats.
