About Me

Married with grown up children and lots of grandchildren, the latest of which I actually got to deliver as she was in a bit of a hurry to get here. I like doing things for my community and am a member of my local Lions club. I am a registered nurse, but am now basically retired due to physical inability to continue in this profession. I love food, (as anyone who has seen my photo will already know) and love to try new recipes; although once I've cooked a dish once or twice I usually then just go ad hoc and change it to suite what I have in the house. I'd like more vegetarian recipes as I don't have much idea about vegetarian cooking. I'm not a bit tea drinker, although it's growing on me. I'm more of a coffee girl, though I'm being very moderate now as we all know we shouldn't have too much caffeine. I like most types of chocolate, though white chocolate is my least favourite. I like mints, cinnamon flavour and soft or hard centres. I do not like cherry or orange anything. I like gummies or hard sweets (candy). My favourite colours are green (especially emerald) and deep purple. I also like blue and yellow. I do NOT like pink or orange, and I prefer deep colours to pastels.
I'm not a fan of acrylics, but will tolerate them if they are soft and not scratchy. I'm not a fan of Mohair or other fluffy yarns as they make me sneeze. I have discovered the lovely softness that is Malabrigo, and I adore silk. I also love Lorna's Laces Lion and Lamb and Handmaiden Lady Godiva, the former is very expensive here in Australia, and the latter is a little cheaper.....but I bought the Lion and Lamb for my clapotis and am very glad I did.

Favorite Music

Pretty eclectic tastes, anything from Classical to pop. Some hip hop is ok, but not really into heavy metal or grunge. Currently I like Mika, The Fray, Nick Cave, John Farnham and Belinda Emmett: both Australian artists, though Belinda's debut album will also be her last as very sadly, she died of cancer before it was released.

Favorite Movies

Old; Brigadoon. Recent; The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.

Favorite Television

US; Greys Anatomy,House and Heroes. Aussie; All Saints, Dancing with the Stars and Big Brother.

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, (socks, scarves, lace, dishcloths and occasionally a sweater or two), Cross Stitch and Scrap Booking. Not a craft, but I love reading, just about anything except soppy romances.

Comment: We've spoken a couple of times, but I haven't seen anything come through. Will definitely change if I receive the yarn.

Response: Hi, I'm so glad you got it ok, and you are more than welcome. I enjoyed searching for the yarn for you, and was on holiday interstate visiting my daughter when I found the ideal (I thought) yarn. Hope you are able to knit something nice with it. Sue.

Comment: Hello, awesome swapper alert! I cannot even begin to describe how generous and thoughtful Qwarkus was with this swap. In addition to some pretty great coffee, she sent a diffuser mug, a box full of teas, sweet to eat treats, and an incredible selection of luxurious gifts in my favourite colour!! I am astounded by everything; she truly went WAY above and beyond. Thank you so much ! I give you a giant virtual hug and 20 hearts! :)xo

Hi Sue! You've got 2 swaps over on swap-bot that you've not sent out and I'm getting really worried. This is totally not like you. I hope everything is ok and that you've just been busy and forgotten and will mail these right away. If not, please let me know what's up so I can let your pals know. Thanks! Kerry

kerryknits on Mar 13, 2008:

Can you please tell me when you'll be mailing your package for the pal's choice junkies swap? The mail deadline was Monday and you're still marked as not sent. I emailed everyone and have had no response from you.

Also, it shows you've not mailed your white package either and the deadline for that was over a month ago. I hope all is well and these were just overlooked but if you have run into a problem please let me know.
