My name is Jennifer Carson and I live in Michigan with my husband, four sons, and many four legged friends. I grew up on a steady diet of Muppet movies and Renaissance faires, and would occasionally be caught reading under the blankets with a flashlight. Besides telling tales (I am a published children's author), I like to create animal and fantasy creatures and characters in embroidery, watercolor, marker, and digitally, and I publish my own sewing patterns. My illustration and surface design work can be seen online at www.furandfeatherfriends.com.
