About me:
"One day you'll face the pearly gates and what you gonna say?
When that long-haired Jewish peacenick sends your ass the other way..." - Eric Schwartz, Keep Your Jesus Off My Penis
I am a PROUD Chicagoan, Southsider, and my boys are too tough for color (go WHITE SOX!).
I'm a clothing designer, pattern writer and fashion/commercial photographer, but I prefer the title Garment Engineer.
My newest endeavor Art of Crochet just launched. Gorgeous designs, Detailed Patterns, Video Stitch Guides, Lush Photography and the super swanky Pattern Generators are going to change crochet forever, and for the better!
And yeah -- for this project I pull together my various skills -- I am the designer, photographer, writer & programmer.
In a former life I was a geek grrl named Jennifer Homa.

Who I'd like to meet:
Models, fashion designers, crocheters, writers, southsiders, hotties
 . . . 
I'm always looking for gorgeous gals to model my designs.
