About Me

I live in Northern Ontario with my wonderful and patient husband, and two laid back Dandie Dinmont Terriers Sophie and Molly. Our daughter Sarah was born at home on Feb 26, 2012.

My quilting skills are beginner level. I have a full size round the world quilt top ready to quilt that is aging in my closest and a baby quilt on the go at the moment.

I also enjoy cross stitch, gardening, long distance walking (6 half marathons so far). Looking forward to meeting new people!

Likes

Dogs, Cats, Little People, The Outdoors, My kitchen when it is clean, cooking, being with family and friends, bright colours, jewel tones, batiks, and patterns, books that make you think, fog, lightening, poetry, The CBC, counted cross stitch, Fat Quarters, scrap cotton fabric, scrap flannel, DMC floss, tea, hot chocolate, postage stamps of animals, birds, flowers, art work; blank postcards.

Dislikes

Chick Lit, stupid people, parents who insist on dressing their girls all in pink and purple day in, day out, people who show up late to dinner, coffee

Countries I have travelled to

Australia Belgium x2 Chile England x2 France x2 Holland Japan Scotland x2 Switzerland x2 United Sates (mostly nothern states many times plus LA and Miami airports)

Postage Stamps Please!

I love getting postage stamps from around the world. Please use stamps on your packages as opposed to the print out stickers from the post office when possible. I am then able to collect and swap these with others!

Comment: Thank you for all the awesome stamps! Right on with introducing your daughter to good music so early! \m/ (that's a rock hand) I love watching babies and little kids bouncing around to music, most seem to really respond to it.
