I have been swapping and participating in forums on the MaryJane's Farmgirls site. Some of the farmgirl sisters are swapping on other places so I found this one.

I sew, crochet, knit, needlepoint and embroider. My favorites are dolls---especially the floppy rag doll kind, not extreme primitive though. I also make purses, hats scarves, dish cloths, aprons, things like that.

Enjoying my reitrement I have the time to play, visit and rest. I have 3 sons, all out of the home. This senior housing building has a community room where we can meet and share what we are doing....currently a small group is learning crochet and we are donating lap afghans to a local hospic who needs them. It feels so nice to know that my hands can make something to warm and comfort someone nearing the end of their life.

I have been called a hippie by friends who notice how I dress and the things I like...that's a compliment! lol

I wear no makeup and rarely use perfume--try to stay natural as possible. I do love coloring my hair though! Red is the best! Sixty is not too old to put stripes in my hair... LOL

I look forward to making new friends here.

I'm working on learning how to post my information here. I like sewing, crochet, knitting, plastic canvas. I love miniatures because they don't take up much shelf space.

I like crochet, sewing or plastic canvas patterns, especially dolly or apron patterns.

LIKES: I like handmade things best. Love Dotees, buttons, beads, clothspins and lace, My favorite color is dark purple or maroon. Though I also like pink red or blue in my house. Just about any color is fine EXCEPT neons.

DISLIKES: Anything about cats (very allergic). Browns or extreme primitive or neons.

Earings that are long heavy. Anything neon. Otherwise I am easy to please.
