My name is Pamela Verfaillie and over the years I've been a hockey mom, soccer mom, lacrosse mom, football mom, baseball mom, basketball mom, Cub Scout leader, school volunteer, and Coastie wife (are you getting a picture yet?). I spent two decades staying home with our boys and supporting the many activities of our family. It was time well spent and I'm proud of the men our boys have become. My husband retired from the Coast Guard in 2013 and we returned to one of the most beautiful places on Earth - Valdez, Alaska. Now, my focus is turning to things that bring me joy. My interests are as varied as my experiences, which makes life fun! You can often find me out walking, reading, collaborating with friends, running the high school library during the school year, volunteering in the community, or crafting!

Welcome to my craft room!

Donated masks - you can see how far I've come since the early days of mask design! Making masks and understanding the needs of the wearers has been the true makerspace project for 2020! Create, test, revise, test again, get feedback, find new materials and keep improving!
