Hello Friends!

I love nature and all things art and craft. Learning a new skill and then sharing it with others motivates me to keep growing. Seeing that growth in myself and others brings happiness.

Que habilidades tienes?
I'm very Crafty: sewing, knitting, beading, embroidery, painting, carving, sculpting, paper-mache, you name it (check out the photos for a few of my creations)! I'm open to teaching any of the above mentioned :)
(P.S. I'm also pretty good with a sewing machine, so if you need something mended, altered, or would like to create a unique Halloween costume, I'm your gal.)

I have a Green Thumb: I love to dig in the dirt and see things grow. I worked in landscaping for a few years and am good with pruning and grafting.

I'm a Hard Worker: I love starting a task and seeing it to its completion. I have volunteered at a hostel before and even spent 4 months as a volunteer at a monastery.

I Love kids: I grew up with 6 siblings and know how to capture the audience with a story or an activity...or maybe even build a pillow fort. I also worked as a live-in nanny for 4 years in Utah.

I'm a decent Cook: I love trying new recipes and sharing my best dishes with others. I may burn the occasional dish but will try again till it's perfect.

I love Organizing things: Finding chaos, sorting it, and molding it into a workable system is something I really enjoy. Having worked as an Engineering Technician for the past two years, I can deal with a lot of information and then process it to find creative solutions.

I am Etsy literate: I have learned how to run my own successful Etsy shop and would love to help with photography, postings, packaging, etc. (my shop (https://www.etsy.com/shop/ElekorDesigns?ref=seller-platform-mcnav) will be in 'vacation' mode during my WorkAway travels)

I have a bunch of 'Low Level' skills I would love to build on: beekeeping, mushroom hunting, rod fishing, carpentry, pottery, piano, herb healing and foraging, tree-sap tapping, and breathing meditation.

P.S. I am an expert with MutiFile Analysis of 3D profilometry software and would love to help you through it if you have your own license. I also can help with excel, PowerPoint, Visio, and other computer programs.

Hmm...what else?
I enjoy playing chess - but am not very good (always game for any board game).
I am introverted - so I need my meditation/alone time (usually a 30min walk in the morning or evening).
I am not a picky eater - love to try new things (only allergy is cantelope).
I write short stories as a hobby - working on my first children's book

Personality-wise, I'm an old soul. I don't party, don't smoke, and rarely drink, but will gladly lend an ear over a cup of coffee (or tea :)

Where do I even begin? Kristin and Steve are the Perfect hosts! I had the pleasure of staying with them for several weeks but the time flew by way too fast.

I absolutely loved how clear their communication was and the wonderful systems they had in place to keep the house running and their guest feeling comfortable. Kristin is an amazing teacher… read more

Mariya stayed with us for six weeks but it felt like one. Seriously, the time flew by and if she could have stayed longer, we would have been thrilled. Mariya is calm, gentle, kind, and thoughtful. She asks questions if she’s not sure about something. She’s a perfectionist, and really works to make every project just right. She was quite capable… read more and did an excellent job at a variety of projects around here, and we really appreciated her help.

Mariya is always thinking, and participates wholeheartedly in conversations about all sorts of topics. She’s a deep thinker and analyzer, a writer (ask her about her children’s book), an artist and a seamstress. She makes an amazing Shakshuka for dinner! She sees what needs to be done and does it, needing very little instruction. An independent worker, Maryia is also one to ask if she can help us w/ any project we’re working on, and she’s fun to work with. During her free time she didn’t sit around, but explored the area, hiking and walking almost every day.

Some of the things Mariya did (and the list is LONG but I’ll mention some of the big projects): Maintained our yard (from dog poop patrol to weedy whacking to mowing). Re-landscaped our flower garden (designed artistic rock and shell paths, planted tons of plants, weeded, etc). Expertly refinished four wooden tables and finished 2 other wood projects (this was a huge project involving many hours of sanding, staining, and applying layer upon later of polyurethane). Designed, built, and painted a delightful sign for our garden. Weeded a lot of garden spaces. Harvested tons (ok, maybe only a couple hundred pounds) of produce, dehydrated fruit, peeled many peaches for preserving, helped with cooking and kitchen clean-up, etc. She transplanted several trees, which involved some very hard work and heavy lifting—she is strong. She’s amazing at the sewing machine. My mending pile is gone! (all mended!). She designed and sewed several pillow cases for our weird-shaped “knee” and “leg” pillows—she can envision things in different perspectives and then make it. She made a beautiful duvet cover, new napkins, and fixed my backpack.

Mariya always kept her work-space neat and put things away when she was done. I realize this is long, but we’d really like Mariya to know how much we appreciate her hard work. While she took her time to do things at a high level, she moved through projects and worked quickly and efficiently- never wasting time.

Above all, Mariya is a lovely person and was simply a delight to have in our home. We sincerely hope she will come back and stay with us. We wish Mariya the best of everything.

My stay with David and Suzanne was both challenging and rewarding :)
During my stay, I mended fences, fixed irrigation/pump leaks, weeded, planted, baited for rodents, filled in gopher holes, and did all the morning and evening chores (walking Strider, feeding sheep/ chickens, and getting them out for the morning and in for the night, watering… read more

Oh my goodness, where to start? Beth and Ozzy (the cutest little dog) were the perfect hosts for my first WorkAway. I loved hearing about Beth's travel experiences, cooking and eating a wide variety of delicious healthy food together, and having the opportunity to walk to the coast (only 10 min away) every day - sometimes twice or more :)
I would… read more

Mariya was a joy to host! She is extremely helpful, very smart, and great at communication. I particularly enjoyed her calm demeanor. She is also a great cook and taught me how to prepare some new dishes. She is welcome back anytime!

YinYang Koi fish jewelry box. Made from scratch: polymer clay, acrylic paint, a bit of gloss.

Followed a Bob Ross youtube tutorial...but used acrylic paints and added a few of my own touches :)

A few other treasures from my Etsy shop (the blue stone with white veins is faux - a polymer clay experiment :)

Recently learned how to balance stones. Very relaxing but takes all your concentration - almost like meditaion.
