Introduction

_{Hello! My name is Stefanie, and I was born in Germany, but moved to Texas in 1991 and now consider myself a Texan. I am a 1st-grade teacher, a mother, Oma. I adore my cute little beagles, my two spoiled fur babies (Daisy & Piper). I love to create, design, research, teach, and inspire others.}

 _{I am also a part-time “Independent Designer /Hoarder & Sewista”.  I enjoy creating things and believe that handmade gifts are truly special, coming from the heart.}

From August to June, I concentrate on my teaching (teacher mode time) and look for ways to make learning enjoyable. I believe learning should be planful, purposeful & playful for students. I like to challenge myself to help my students love learning!

_{In my free time, I like to work on genealogy research, blog,} reflect_{, sketch/ draw,} design fabric_{, read, quilt, garden, occasionally cook , and most of all - spend time with family.}
