Leilani loves to create! Leilani drew the above and below zentangle
inspired art inspired by the new values statement of the UUA.
She knits, paints, draws, sews, makes
jewelry, wire wraps, does paper art with rubber stamps, and face & body
painting.
This is a pen drawing Leilani did freehand above and a stool Leilani painted freehand below. After blending many colors, she painted indigenous North American orchids on the seat of the stool.
Leilani's favorite knitting shops are BTown Yarn, Maker's Merchantile, and Seattle Yarn! Here's a hat Leilani reversible hat knit.
A crocheted amigurumi bunny, this is Japanese style of crocheting.
Hula Hooping:
Leilani started hooping in late in 2009 after being inspired by a hooper from Southern California visiting Seattle. Leilani took a few private lessons and was on her way! She's attended some local hooping events and even a hoop weekend gathering in Bend OR! Leilani is pictured above hoop dancing and performing at Kent Cornucopia Days July 2013. Hooping is one of her favorite forms of exercise. Hooping is a great form of cardio, core strengthening, and strength training! To see videos of Leilani hooping check our her youtube channel here and to learn more about hooping click here . The style of hooping Leilani does is based on this hooping history and origin.

Orchids:
Leilani has been an orchid admirer for some time and pictured
below is her windowsill packed with just orchids.
This photo is of one of Leilani's orchids blooming a second or third time. This lovely phalenopsis is a relatively easy orchid to care for. Leilani is delighted to learn more about her orchids needs and help them flourish.
Leilani was given a rescued green rumped parrotlet, Digit, found outside January 29th, 2007 and sadly he passed away in the Sept 2022. We loved him and all the years we had together.
In the fall of 2021 we adopted an elderly rescue
cockatiel Perkie. He was just the sweetest funny bird loved seeing the clients
arrive and playing with his toys. Sadly we only had four years with him but
loved giving him those last few years of pampering and joy.

Pets:
Leilani is a huge animal lover and shares her home with her animal companions! She is passionate about animal rights and the quality of their lives.
Our canine family member, Willow, is a street rescue from Mexico, a mixed puppy born approximately 3-14-2015. We adopted her
August 21, 2015. Here she
is pictured in her Halloween costume as a Jedi Knight!
Willow pictured all grown up.
In September 2019, we adopted two kittens Sisko born in April 2019 and Burnham born in July 2019. They're from different litters from different rescues. They're super loving and loads of fun! Pictured when they were kittens.
And Burnham and Sisko below, all grown
up but still snuggling.
We adopted Bubba, an eight year old long haired kitty late summer 2023 and
got him healthy. He gets along really well with our other kitties and is
living his best life. Pictured here on top of the footstool with Sisko
underneath.
All three of our cats hanging out
together.
Sadly we said goodbye to our elder kitty, Eagle late April 2023. Pictured here
with Burnham.
Our Winged Friends:
In late fall of 2022, we adopted a bonded pair of Pacific Parrolets. We
don't know much about their history just that they've been passed around and
are about 10 years old. We love their love and joy in their new
home with us. Rutherford is blue and Tendi is green. They love treats,
climbing and flying and their toys.
