I'm 40ish and live in Olympia, WA with my husband and two dogs (Otis and Rufus). The kids are all grown up and gone and the house is quiet (too quiet for my liking). For fun, I quilt, crochet and make mosaics. My husband is a flight instructor and I get to fly with him in our Powered Parachute (check out our website to see what WE do for fun!). For relaxation, I enjoy long bubble baths (lavender is my favorite), tea , walks with my dogs, good books and good vegetarian recipes. I also LOVE fabric..nobody can have too much, can they? I love anything vintage, victorian etc. Old quilts, old buttons, old china, lace, fabric.

Life is good!

Jazz, blues - old female singers (Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald), electric blues (Stevie Ray, Robert Cray, Keb Mo). I really like most types.

Don't watch much TV.

Quilting - I have been quilting for many years and love the art of quilt making. Crochet - I am a mediocre crocheter but love to make rugs out of old flannel sheets I get at thrift stores. I also collect pretty old broken china and use it to make mosaics.
