A former financial analyst, Sudie Alexander retired from Corporate America to stay home with her small children. Between burps and banishing dust bunnies, Sudie found her joy while crafting. She dabbled in knitting, crocheting, and papercrafts, to name a few. During this time, Sudie met some like-minded creative folks who encouraged her to submit her creations to various publications and one thing led to another. Sudie’s work has been published in books and magazines, shown at craft and hobby trade shows, and featured in stores across the country. But what Sudie is best known for is being a passionate award-winning craft instructor. She loves teaching and sharing her love of crafts with others. Sudie looks forward to being a part of the Craft Test Dummies team.

Welcome Sudie. I’m looking forward to more posts and creations from you. The big question …. why Cleopatra?
Sudie says
Why Cleopatra? I think she is the most fascinating woman. She was a strong ruler that powerful men found alluring. She was said to have rendered them helpless.
