Leilani loves to create! 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 Maker's Merchantile, and Seattle Yarn! Here's a hat Leilani reversible hat knit.
A crocheted amigurumi bunny, this is Japanese style of crocheting.
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.

Bellydancing:
Did you know that the term
"Belly Dancing" and "Oriental
Dance" may not be the best terms to describe
dancing inspired by and from the Arab world, Middle East, North Africa,
Western and Central Asia, and the Mediterranean? For some, both terms are
considered to perpetuate some stereotypes about the dance form. For example:
it is not always done with the mid riff exposed, it is not only performed by
women, and it is not the art of seduction. Leilani's pictured below
prior to performing at the Puyallup Fair 2019.
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
coated xoloitzcuintli puppy born approximately 3-14-2015. We adopted her
August 21, 2015. Here she
is pictured in her Halloween costume as a Jedi Knight!
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!
Our Winged Friends:
Leilani was given a rescued green rumped parrotlet found outside January 29th, 2007. He found his forever home then and has been a pure delight to live with. Digit is our office and home singer; he loves arias. While interested in meeting people, he likes it best if they don't get too close to his cage.
Summer of 2018 we also adopted a rescue budgie, Xander.
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.
