Where I got the name

I was born with hair the color of a bright new penny - true, brilliant copper.  When I was little, the little old ladies in my neighborhood used to ask me where I got such lovely red hair.

I had no idea what answer to give - it just grew from my head!  I mean, really, what is the right answer to that? 

My mom gave me a great answer.  She told me to say that I got my red hair "from the milk man".  I never understood why the little old ladies turned pink and hurried away.







Now I remember this with amusement and joy.

I've also been making things since I was teeny.  Well, young - I'm not five feet tall, so I'm still teeny!  I've been drawing, writing, sewing, and trying every single craft that passes in front of me.  I love to cook, to bake, and enjoy making bento lunches for my family.  I'm writing here to share the things I make with you.

You, too, can get fun things 'From the Milk Man'!
