About Me

Quirky & chatty sums it up. I'm the girl next door who was dropped on her head from a very tall tree at a very young age. Consequently, I won't hold the end of a rope any more. It's all very embarressing, don't ask about it. Currently I'm working on my BA&Ed and building my jewelry business, as well as raising a wonderful daughter who once believed that she was the last princess left -- a very good story, actually. I've been playing with beads since I was about 10 and selling my work for nearly as long, supported with sound business advise from my dad. Musically, I grew up listening to mom play everything from Michael Jackson to Merle Hagard on her Hammond Organ, and everything else on the stereo. My brother and I had many late nights playing guitar, trying to figure out the latest songs and challenging each other with new ideas. A clarinet, classical bass, piano, lap dulcimer, and several other "toys" later and I found my true love . . . the viola da gamba. It's a sickness, I know. Maybe I'll just have to join the musician's equivelent of AA. ********************************************

My Interests

Jewelry design (primarily glass beads/beadwork), Lampworking (I love playing with hot glass!),Backpacking/Hiking (my favorite trail to date is Pictured Rocks National Lake Shore),Gardening/Gathering (mainly multi-use herbs),Music Performance (dabbler),and myriad other things that keep me from writing a book or three, including magician’s assistant, full time Girl Scout Leader, novice Middle Eastern Dancer, and varying types and levels of hand arts such as crochet, embroidery, knotting, calligraphy, book binding, tatting, etc. . .and fairies. I absolutley love fairies!

I'd like to meet:

I'm open. Friends are always good and I'm a social creature.

Music:

I listen to nearly everything -- Celtic (especially fast folk), Early Music (Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque), Alternative, and Indie punk and jazz are usually my first choices. However, with a pre-teen generally in control of the radio, I listen mainly to Emo, Pop, and Alternative. My favorite band has to be The Town Pants! www.thetownpants.com

Television:

Charmed. Anything else is by chance, and usually a documentary -- or The Red Green Show. *sigh* Now I am totally addicted to Grey's Anatomy.

Books:

Favorite? I could no sooner pluck a favorite star from the sky! I read a bit of everything.

Heroes:

Jordi Savall, Lady Godiva, Wonder Woman, Jessicca Rabbit, and my mom.
