More about me

I'm a 51 year old married mother of two sons and one cat. We have been married for 28 years and so far it's been okay. I worked in various retail bookstores for 22 years and finally "retired" when the last company I worked for went bankrupt. (Crownbooks)  Obviously I enjoy reading but I also love going to the movies and fortunately my husband and I have very similar taste in films. I also crochet, do cross stitch, crewelwork, basic needlepoint and huckaback toweling, which is a dying art. I'm also working on the family geneaology, another hobby I share with my husband. We also enjoy traveling and especially like to take cruises although we don't get to do that  very often.

Crewel work, Cross-stitching, knitting, crochet (see the photos of the bags I make from used plastic bags), scrapbooking.
