ThePorchBaby

My sisters called me a porch baby..a critter left on the doorstep, chosen to liven things up!  No truth to it, of course (I’ve got my mother’s thighs & my daddy’s nose), but I’ve always loved the cradled feeling such a nickname saddled me with. Creativity and ‘gitter done’ runs in my family.  Ever since my great grandmother Bessie rocked me on our porch on Corona Street in Austin, Texas, my family has been sewing, painting, building or blingin’ something from nothing.

Now, after 25+ years teaching dance & choreographing everything from contemporary to Broadway, making all crazy types of props & sets, sewing stuff from stuff, and launching 3 kids into the world, I am doing what my 5th grade teacher, Mrs. Harrington said I should do..write & make sure to give her credit when I made my debut on Johnny Carson.  Well, maybe I'll get my chance with his descendent.
