Singings

I'm a boat drivin', river lovin', quiltin', embroiderin', craft lover, wife and mother of four (two his and two mine) who enjoys down time with my Husqvarna.

I first embroidered a pillow with roses when I was in the fourth grade. My first blouse made from a pattern was when I was eight years old. My mother taught me how to sew, crochet, knit and draw instead of sitting me in front of the television and I'm so grateful. But I loved watching Wild, Wild West when I did watch TV...Robert Conrad was great eye candy for this little girl...hubba hubba!

My favorite color is red and I love dark red, black and burgandy.

I love to travel. I've gone on expeditions to Peru three times and hiked the Mollepata Inka Trail and it kicked my bottom! I stayed at Swami Kaleshwar's ashram in India for three weeks and that kicked my bottom too. :-)

I love meditation, silent meditation retreats, healers, mantras, ceremony, acupuncture, drawing, writing, angels and licorice.

I have three tattoos. One I got when I was 16 years old on my middle finger and just had it covered up with a star, eclipse type thing. Now I love it! I also have a large Om symbol on my lower back. I just had cherry blossoms (symbolic of my parents that passed) added around my Om and I love them!

Rock n' Roll FOREVER! Led Zeppelin, Janice, Dylan, Doors, Dio, Sabbath, Motley Crue, Whitesnake, Disturbed, Pink Floyd, Sixx AM and I can't forget to mention WHITE STRIPES. Jack White's music and lyrics make me happy.

I love my music with a little edge and I'm interested in mellow deep old-religion music as well. Any suggestions?

I love concerts.

I tend to read non-fiction or how to's. I'm currently reading Bob Dylan's Chronicles Vol. One. (What an amazing writer!) The Science of Success, With Sacred Threads, Creative Quilting: The Journal Quilt Project, Gifts of Shirdi Sai Baba. (The books on my desk.) Oh, Motley Crue The Dirt and Nikki Sixx's Heroine Diaries.

My favorite author is Manly P. Hall.

I love books about spirituality.

Lord of the Rings... Practical Magic... A Dark Knight... Gone with the Wind, Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, The Ya-Ya Sisterhood to name a few.

I will watch everything that Ben Stiller, Mike Meyers and Adam Sandler create.

My favorite actors are John Malkovich, Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman, Jeff Goldbloom, Robert Downey Jr. and Sandra Bullock. I'll watch everything I find them in.

I don't like television but if I watch it I look for Law and Order, Heroes, CSI, Bravo Inside the Actors Studio, Project Runway and Lost marathons. I usually click movies on demand. Okay, I was addicted to Daisy of Love. I laughed... Currently into Lost marathons and Heroes marathons - good stuff!

My #1 passion is to sew and design quilts. I love scrapbook pages, rubber stamps, paint and screenprinting.

I joined swap-bot so I can begin using more of my craft skills as well.

I like pretty witches, lions, cats, kids, silk, jet boats, stars and stars, goddess symbols, bathing suits, sandals, river, sand, rocks, trees, flowers, scandinavian motif, viking designs, everything Finland, Peru, Machu Picchu, ruins, music, spirals, love...

I don't like used, scented (allergic) items.
