Katharines

I'm a 34 year old work at home (I run my own small business) Mom of 3 boys, aged 16, 12 and 3 1/2. I live in Pickering, Ontario with my common-law husband and 3 sons, recently moved here from St. Catharines, Ontario.

I've got one cute little reclusive tabby cat named Kiki and one galloping, goofy Golden Retriever named Sparrow.

Hmmm, a little bit of everything...it just depends on my mood really. There's not much that I don't enjoy, it's all got it's place!

I love Margaret Laurence's Manawaka series. I can't count the number of times that I've read 'The Stone Angel'.

Another great Canadian writer Margaret Atwood is on my favorites list.

My favorite type of books are personal stories about people's lives. Not exactly sure what you call that type of book....not mysteries or horror, just stories of life, it's struggles, it's joys, good ole life.

I don't watch much t.v....but I do have to confess that one of my guilty pleasures is watching Big Brother each summer with my oldest son.

I've got crafting 'issues'....I really do want to try them all. Unfortunately, there's just not enough time.

I create my own jewelry, which I sell in my Etsy shop and I've always held on to my love of crocheting. I'd like to learn how to knit someday as well as getting into more crafty recycling.

Again, I don't watch too many, but the one that always comes to mind immediately when asked about this is 'V for Vendetta'.

Favorite colours: pink, cream, black, white, neutrals and earth tones

Disliked colours: yellow, purple, red

A list of all the things I love :)
