1200 characters! How am I supposed to sum "me" up in that few of words! I love to be creative and try to accomplish some sort of creativity for at least 30 minutes a day. (Don't Dr's recommend that? Oh, that's exercise)I mostly knit, but also do a lot of needlepoint using decorative threads and stitches. I have also made several quilts. I have found that if you love textiles, you tend to love them all. I am also a compulsive shopper. I have too much yarn, too much fabric, too many needlepoint projects, too much jewelry, and on and on. Oh, and then there are cookbooks. Anyway, I don't do guilt, so I don't make excuses for shopping. I enjoy buying it, owning it and working on my projects. My motto is "life is not a dress rehearsal" So, given that motto, I'm going to live it to the fullest AND shop 'till I drop!
