Arts and Crafts:

Leilani loves to create! She paints mostly with acrylics, makes rubber stamp art, does henna art, and most recently knits!

This is a stool Leilani painted freehand. After blending many colors, she painted indigenous North American orchids on the seat of the stool.

Pictured below is Leilani's first henna painting on herself. She highly recommends The book Mehndi: The Timeless Art of Henna Painting.

Both the hat and scarf Leilani knitted are from patterns in the Stitch and Bitch Nation book,  and the hat features handmade glassbeads of NW bumblebees that Leilani made by hand at Renton's Uptown Glassworks shop. Leilani's favorite knitting shop is Renaissance Yarns where she continues to take classes! For her knitting blog click here.

Pets:

Leilani is a huge animal lover and shares her home with several animal companions! She is passionate about animal rights and the quality of their lives. She is a member of the Animal Legal Defense Fund, Seattle Aquarium and Woodland Park Zoo.

Bella, our beloved chocolate lab born on Sept. 25, 1997, pictured above Oct. 2007, is sleeping with her cat and snuggly pony in her bed.  She has been Leilani's companion since Bella was just 9 weeks old. She is in charge of the client welcoming committee.  Her favorite activities are love rubs from her cat, Rufus, pictured below, tug-o-war, catch, squirrel watching and swimming.

Oatmeal, our elder tabby, enjoyed a fleece blanket, a good soft human pillow, and being draped over our shoulders for pets.  He was fond of catnip, fishing-for-cat-feather games, bird watching, and toying with Bella's affection. We miss him terribly. He's picture above sleeping in Bella's bed with the neighbor cat, Rufus, that's adopted us as a part of his chosen family.
