Who we are and what we do....
My name is DeAnna and I'm not your average Mom or Wife. I spend most of my time managing a busy family and keeping up an older homestead that seems as though it's in constant need of repairs and upgrades, which means alot of fun projects and alot of headaches. Even though there is great satisfaction to be had in taking a sledge hammer to that faded brown and gold mica counter top, it is also very therapuetic for those weekends when your pool is filled with squealing texting teenage girls. This is why I got into upcycling and crafting. It's a fantastic outlet.
Another reason I got involved in upcycling was out of necessity. There is nothing better than enjoying a tall glass of wine while you go about your chores, so I had ALOT of bottles. So what's a crafty hippy to do? Make something! After doing a little research on the web, I found it was very easy to cut glass if done the right way. That's when I started making my hurricane lamps and handpoured essential oil candles. What started out as an inexpensive handmade Christmas gift ended up being a functional piece of art that others wanted to buy. And what Rockin' Mom couldn't use a little extra cash?  |
I am a coat of many colors so my interests and influences reflect that eclectic nature. I love my family and enjoy watching my 2 teenage girls blossom into talented young ladies, but I'm also very passionate about my music. I have been singing and writing since I can remember, which brings me to my next outlet. RawK and RolL! I am fortunate enough to be the lead singer of a rock band. I first wrote and recorded with my band Queen Kong in 2008 and proud as I was to be a part of that, change is constant and ever present. After the loss of a close friend and musician, the only thing that made it better was playing the music we loved in honor of the person that had profoundly touched us all. That was the foundation for my band Meow Ka-Pow.
I am a Mother. I am a Wife. I am an animal lover. I am a musician. I am an artist. I am a conservationist. I make no apologies for the mistakes I have made for I alone carry the burden of my unforgiven failures. I continue to learn everyday and I will never stop learning, which is why I stay so busy with my family, music and art. It not only feeds the creative outlet that I crave, but for the sake of passsing on the appreciation of all things strange and beautiful.
