About Me

I am an avid knitter, quilter and soapmaker. I have participated in many soap and knitting themed swaps. I have two adult children finally finished with school and working. My daughter still lives with me and our two cats and one dog who really is the King of the House. I work full time as a math staff developer in an innercity K-5 school in NYC. I'm listed in Ravelery and Flicker as Franhaz. I love strong coffee, dark chocolate, natural fibers especially wool blends and relaxing at the beach. My favorite colors are reds, blues,and greens. I usually avoid orange and yellow.

Favorite Music

Classical and old Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkle etc.

Favorite Crafts

knitting, soapmaking, quilting, redwork,

Favorite Books

I enjoy mysteries, biographies, and pretty much anything except Romance.

OMG!! That coffee was so good. I have been meaning to send you a message and let you know just how much we enjoyed your coffee. Now that it is gone I find myself longing for it!

We made the first pot Christmas morning and it was wonderful. I'll let you know that my boyfriend and i are coffee snobs to the extreme. We have been known to pay $45 for a half pound of coffee and this little find is incredible. I would say it is in my top three for all time favorites. I can not thank you enough for sharing. Can I add 10 more hearts?
