We often hear the word hippie and associate it with the 60's thru the 70's, rock and roll, Vietnam, drugs and the ever popular lifestyle known as "living in a commune". But it's more than that. It's is a life-style. But a long-life-style one chooses. Hippiescreations is just that.
I'd like to showcase a mother of three boys who works out of her home in Virginia. Currently 1 is in the military, 1 resides with his father, and 1 remains with her and has special needs. Among her many accomplishments are a Bachelors in Accounting and a Master's in Mental Health Counseling.
She grew up in cities around Frankfurt,Germany and was raised in foster care. Around the age of 17 she picked up a crochet hook and has been crocheting ever since. She has opened up a shop and has a very nice selection of items ranging from baby up to adults. You can see them here: http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/gallery/Hippiescreations.
She also does woodburning, which is available on her website. I really like her rose bloom necklace which you can view here:

and at only $20.70, shipping included, that's a good deal. You can also get the cord to your own neck measurements. How's that for pearsonalization? No extra charge either.
She certainly keeps herself busy. Did I mention that she wrote a book too? Betrayal: The Journey: Childhood Memories And The Adult Awakening. So please, stop by her shop and take a look. You'll be glad you did.
I'd forgotten that term "flower child". It certainly does describe a long-life-style and the character and products of this lovely shop and artist. Great write up. :-)
