I love to sew and would like to swap projects that involve sewing like mini quilts, themed projects. I'm very interested in making pin cushions and fabric postcards. I love to watch Quilting Arts and Sewing with Nancy. I dabble in painting fabric and sketching women's faces. I also love baking gourmet desserts and am fascinated with cupcakes at the moment.

I'm an administrator in the insurance division of a large school district. I'm married and between my husband and myself, we have four adult children and four grandchildren. I like art and crafts of all kinds. Chocolate is my favorite food. I have allergies to strong smells, so things with potpouri are really not for me.

Since I am originally from New Orleans, I am a Blues addict. I like Jazz and Country but get really bored with them sometimes. I particularily hate the talk, talk, talk dj's.

I love detective mysteries with strong women as the main character. Since my ride into work is one hour each way, I am really into audio books. I get to do about one a week.

Chick Flicks and end of world movies. Day After Tomorrow, War of Worlds, Sahara, The Librarian Series.

My favorite colors are black with white. I love deep colors and really don't like bright neon colors. I like black mixed with colors, browns and beiges. I also love aqua and blues and greens.

Deep reds are great, but I really hate bright pink. I try to like bright pink, but just can't do it. I stand in front of the pinks at the store and can't bring myself to buy any. So I pretty much like most colors except neons and bright pink.
