About Me

The most important thing to me are my kids. I have 2 boys. They are super fun and have sweet zany spirits. They are pretty young so my life is pretty home bound - and that is Ok with me. It took me a little while to get used to it, but now I love it. We also just moved to Chicago and I am home schooling my oldest son (he is 5). My house is full of yarn hanging all over the place in various stages of drying. My husband is very long suffering - so long, in fact, that he is getting more and more interested in the fibers - heh, go figure.My marriage rocks, I am super lucky to be with a man I adore and have a lot of fun with.

My Interests

.. .. .. .. .. .. ..

I'd like to meet:

My husband in Hawaii and Surf all day

Music:

I can do a pretty good rendition of "Papa can you hear me" (Babara Streisand). hahahaha. Seriously though, I can.

Books:

Knitting books would be the thing I am collecting, lately. Anything quirky and knitting/ fiber. Dyeing, color theory, organice dyes, etc...I am also reading about sustainable housing right now. As far as book books go... I love the classics, brave new world, Animal Farm, Handmaid's Tale (is that old enough to be a classic? I don't know when it was written...) One of My favorites is Alas, Babylon. It's old, a little sexist and slightly kitchy - oh and on that note I love Valley of the Dolls, as well. I also love feminist literature and am taking a class on women in art right now.I really like to read, I haven't done a heck of a lot of it since my 2nd son was born, but someday I will read for pleasure again. Right now all of my free time goes to dyeing yarn and wool. or reading about it.
