Strungalong

I am a 36-year-old married amateur sewer from Georgia. I work as a school librarian during the day and as a mom to two crazy dogs and a wife to Hubby at night.

I listen to anything because we are a musical family, but I prefer adult contemporary, down tempo, progressive 80s and new wave, classic, alternative folk, pre-70s jazz and bossa nova.

Being a librarian, I read a lot and don't really have a favorite book. I feel nostalgic for the science fiction I read as a kid, but I like metaphysical and supernatural fiction these days. I never re-read a book, and instead of remembering characters and plot elements, I take a lesson from each book that becomes a integral part of who I am.

I am a Christopher Guest fan. I love humor where people are making fun of themselves.

My TV tastes change all the time. It's easier to say that I don't like medical, cop or law dramas, nor do I like whatever is the favorite of all women in the United States at the moment. I watch some reality TV, but I have become a reality snob (can you imagine- as if there is good reality and bad reality programming). I like home fixit, cooking, and craft shows, of course. Weird historical shows are also a fav- Cities of the Underworld, If These Walls Could Talk, Histories Mysteries.

I am teaching myself to sew, and I have started weaving scarves on a loom. That's the extent of my craftiness since budget restrictions and pre-arthritic hands force me to focus. I love fall-colored yarn, random ribbon stashes, and bright cotton fabrics. I do not know how to sew specialty fabrics, so I stick to cotton and polyester blends. I enjoy having a hobby for the first time. Being in my late 30s, I look back and wish I had started earlier. But I have so much to look forward to learning the craft!
