About Me

badge

I am the mother of three. I dream of doing many things but never seem to have time to do much more than to keep the household running smoothly. I love sewing, crocheting, doing crossword puzzles, playing piano and visiting with family and friends.

Favorite Books

I'm a huge Jane Austen fan. Pride and Prejudice is my favorite. I've read everything written by James Herriot. He's the British vet who has written voluminously about his real-life experiences. I've read Abel's Island many times. Some might call it a children's book but I delight in how the author puts words together.

Favorite Movies and Television

My favorite life-time movie is The Sound of Music. It is the first movie I ever saw. Others I delight in reviewing are: Witness, The Winslow Boy, Dear Frankie, Roman Holiday and You've Got Mail.
Special thanks go to my British friends for Doc Martin--my newest addiction. What a delightful program. If anybody knows when they're starting on season 4, please let me know.

Favorite Crafts

I love to crochet. It's pure fun for me to just sit and crochet but I don't often have the time. I learned to do heirloom sewing about 15 years ago and of all sewing projects, that gives me the most satisfaction. I've dabbled in quilting.

Things I'd Like to Receive

  1. Γ’β„’Β₯ anything handmade by you is special to me;
  2. ♥ practical gifts are much preferred over trinkets;
  3. ♥ office supplies (especially Sharpies-ultra fine);
  4. ♥ hankies (second hand or new)--I collect them;
  5. ♥ Body Shop products;
  6. ♥ interesting or unusual marbles for my little boy;
  7. ♥ Big Hunk candy bars (nougat with peanuts)--we can't get them in Canada;
  8. ♥ anything with vintage lace on it;
  9. ♥ Please don't think I'm crazy, but I love washlines. Send me a picture of your laundry blowing in the breeze and I'll love it!; and
  10. ♥ your tried and true recipes.

Response: I'm glad you liked them. I used UTEE for the finish. I found out about it from the amazing crafters here of course. There is a thread about it somewhere in the forums. I will look for it and pm you probably tomorrow or the day after.

Oh my goodness! I think I completely forgot to thank you for the beautiful doily you sent me for the $5 profile surprise tag. It's not because I didn't love it, I promise, I did!! It arrived safely and I treasure it! I have no patience for thread crochet myself...

Lenna on Nov 26, 2008:

Lisa, I feel so lucky! My forum tag surprises are so wonderful. I appreciate the sparkly card and am wild about the little snowflakes you crocheted for me!! During the Christmas holidays, I decorate my dining room in frost kissed wonders. Your magical little creations will take center stage and hang off my chandelier. THANKS SO VERY MUCH!
