More about me

I'm a Mom to two adult children (girl and boy) and Grandma to 8 (3 boys and 5 girls).  I'm a solitary person who enjoys quilting, knitting, crochet, reading and watching movies and TV shows on Netflix.  I love living in New Hampshire where the weather is mostly beautiful.  I enjoy taking walks with my toy poodle, Ginger, who's almost 4 years old.  I'm directionally challenged, making at least one wrong turn on trips.  (but GPS has saved me!)  My favorite foods are Carrot Cake, cheesecake and Ben & Jerry's ice cream (Vanilla Heathbar Crunch).   My favorite coffee is Dunkin Donnts French Vanilla and Hazelnut - (I drink a lot of coffee!)  I joined Weight Watchers last year and have now reached my goal weight (in spite of my favorite foods).  I'm currently trying to make all the sample quilt squares from '501 Rotary-Cut Blocks' by Judy Hopkins.  I enjoy reading blogs, especially quilting blogs.  I have a blog of my own to chronicle my quilting experience.  http://www.501quiltblocks.blogspot.com   

Activities

I like to spin my own yarn, knit, crochet, quilt and sew. Just learning scrapbooking and crewel. I like to do each of these, although lately I love being on Eons.
