I really don't enjoy writing about myself, but here goes!

I love gardening and working with plants. My house and office have plants squished into just about every nook possible. Another pastime of mine is taking cuttings from ficus trees and getting them to root and grow up into bigger trees.

I also love to cook and experiment with modifying recipes. Some of my favorite dishes are Thai, Chinese, pasta, Indian and Mexican (I could live on tacos!).

One of my favorite crafty things to do is create a pattern from scratch blending ideas from other projects I've seen. I really despise having to follow a pattern and I find it much easier to make up my own for smaller projects.

My favorite colors are purples, blues, teals and greens. I tend to favor brighter colors rather than drab colors. I don't really care for yellow or orange, only as highlights.

I'm not really a coffee drinker, but when I do it's sweeter drink like a cappuccino or Starbucks' gingerbread latte that they serve around Christmas. I really enjoy flavored teas such as chai, earl grey, orange, passionfruit green tea, etc.

I'm married, have a cat, and a Betta (and adore all three!). I'm trained as a graphic designer but also work in sales and marketing.
