About Me

I live in South Carolina, in a house that's always busy with 2 dogs, a white and black kitty, a little boy, a husband who goes on too many business trips, and usually half the children in the neighborhood. I spend my days caring for my animals, cooking, crafting and playing in my little vegatable garden. I grew up like a North American nomad, at last count I had moved 15 times in my life, everywhere in the east from Florida to Newfoundland. I've also traveled to Chile and Germany, and I can't wait to go do some more globe trotting. I am shy, but at the same time I absolutely love all kinds of people, and I've honestly never met a boring person because everyone has love, drama, heartbreak and secrets in their life. So I love getting to know people, writing letters and learning about other people's culture and experiences.

Favorite Music

I don't know what my favorite kind of music is really.. I listen to a lot of classic rock, old jazz, folk music, a bit of country, a bit of modern stuff.

Favorite Books

My most favorite book of all time is Walden. I read it the first time when I was 16 and have read it once a year since then. Every single time I read it, I find that I'm directed back into a discovery of myself and what I'm really all about... it's just a great, great book.

Once I come up for air from reading Walden, I also love reading history, biographies, crafty books and mysteries of the Agatha Christie variety. By the way, I just decided last week to collect and reread every mystery Agatha Christie wrote, but I only have one so far. So if you have one of her paperbacks that you can part with, I would love to have it!

Favorite Crafts

Knitting is my longest lasting craft love so far. I started when I was about 4 or 5 and haven't stopped since. I've also been doing a ton a thread crochet lately, and I quilt too. I want to learn to make earrings too.

My other favorite crafts would have to be anything invovling my six year old and a box full of glitter, paint, chenille pipe cleaners, beads and glue. (if you have a munchkin in kindergarten, you know what I'm talking about!)

Stuff I like....

So here is a little list of assorted things I like:

  • Cats (look at my flickr page to see Daisy!)

  • My Dogs Barkley and Mini, and anything related to shelter or rescue dogs (they're also on my flickr page!)

  • snow and snowflakes

  • wool yarn

  • handmade purses, handbags, tote bags, etc

  • Ritter Sport bars of the Knusperkeks variety.

  • sock yarn

  • anything sheep-related.

  • gardening

  • ice hockey - would love to have any hockey items featuring national teams

  • My hubby is German, and I love stuff that reminds me of my home-away-from-home! Milka Chocolate, Haribo, yarn from Wolle-Rödel, anything related to Stuttgart VfB... not so much into the super-touristy stuff, just good German stuff you can't get here so easily!

  • Asian-inspired fabrics, traditional or modern

  • Real black tea, not herbal or fruit tea. Ex: Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Prince of Wales tea... all good!

  • I'm a Christian, so if you want to send me Easter/Christmas stuff, or crosses, etc, that's just fine with me :-)

  • above all, I love to receive things that someone else made for me with care. Even if it's not on this list, I am always delighted to have anything that someone was thoughtful enough to put their time and effort and good wishes into.

Stuff I dislike...

  • Novelty/eyelash type yarns... I like the stitches in my knitting to be visible.

  • "Dark" things... skeletons, grim reaper, vampires, etc (although I do like Edward Gorey very much... go figure.)

  • Fruity or herbal "tea". All I drink is black tea from actual tea plants, not mint or rosehips or whatever.

  • Anything obnoxious. Happy Bunny, bad language, people with the need to inflict their anti-whatever views on other people... I'm a mellow person and those things disrupt the mellowness :-)

  • Lavender or peach scented stuff. I don't really object to actual lavender, but anything like candles or lotion scented that way... not for me!
