About Me

By day I'm a teacher. When I'm not working, I knit. A lot. I also read- favourite authors are Neil Gaiman, Diana Wynne Jones, and Jim Butcher. And knit. And do creative writing. And did I mention the knitting? I also love a good hot bath, especially with good bubble bath/bath bombs. Oh, and I love to cook! Good thing too, because my other half can only cook 3 things- my proudest cooking achievement was the wedding cakes for two friends last year.

Favorite Music

Scissor Sisters, Ben Folds (Five), Johnny Cash, jazz songs (which I sing along to), and beyond that, a wide ranging and eclectic taste that ranges from 70s disco to Country and Western.

Favorite Movies

Serenity, Strictly Ballroom, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, The Ladykillers, Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Princess Bride, Saved!, State and Main, 80s John Hughes movies.

Favorite Television

Firefly, Battlestar Galactica, Buffy, Angel, Ultraviolet, Eureka, Supernatural, 24, Stargate, House...umm- might be faster to say I'm a geek. I'm a BIG geek.

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, crochet, baking (does that count?) sewing. But knitting is the real big passion. I love any kind of yarn, but put it this way- Etsy is like crack for me. I love, love LOVE variegated sock yarns, and lust after Lisa Souza, Socks that Rock- the usual ones. My favourite colour is purple (obviously), but for yarn, aside from any kind of berry colourway, I love any pretty variegated yarn, especially in bright, vibrant colours.

Comment: Thanks Ellen - the best part about getting your package was seeing the Harry Potter postage stamps! :)
Response: The woman in the post office said she could print out a postage label, or I could have pretty stamps. I said yes to the pretty stamps and this was followed by "Can I have those HARRY POTTER stamps?"- I guess I made the right decision!

Comment: OMG, Ellen! The quotes on the cards were fab (I love The Princess Bride & Dorothy Parker!) & the embroidered towel - WOW!!! Thanks so much, you went above & beyond for this one. Well done! p.s. The 'stache on the tomato totally cracks me up.
Response: I'm glad you love it- it makes the time spent embroidering totally worth it. And the tomato HAD to have a 'stache- it's an ITALIAN tomato!
