About Me

March 2, 2010 Just a note. My husband is in the hospital. We took him in last Friday and they put him in Critical care on a breathing machine. He has now been taken off the machine and is in a regular room. His pneumonia is responding to the antibiotics but they are now trying to find the cause. He is feeling better every day. I spend most of the day with him as he does better when I am there. Will let everyone know how he is doing later. Have a great day! Barbara

I always send my swaps. If I cannot make a deadline I will contact the persons involved. If you have not received in a reasonable time please contact me. If I have not been rated I will contact you to see if you have received. I will resend if it is needed.

I like doing swaps although I have to limit them as I have to watch cost. I have done many plastic canvas swaps. Also a couple of cross stitch swaps. And a few crochet swaps. Look forward to doing more.

Favorite Music

My favorite music is classic country. I also like some of the 50's through 70's rock and roll. Although no hard rock. Some of my favorite musicans are Elvis, Mel McDaniel, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Billy Ray Cyrus, Patsy Kline, Barbara Mandrell, Roy Acuff, Hank Williams Sr and Jr. Dolly Parton. And many more.

Favorite Books

My favorite books are older Sci-fi. Such authors as Iasaac Asimov, Robert Heinlein, Anne McCaffrey, and others. I also like some romance and mysteries these books I read and then pass on. The Sci-Fi books I keep and read over and over.

Favorite Movies

It is really hard to choose. I like comedies such as "It's a Mad Mad Mad World", action adventure movies with Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris etc., sci-fi "Star Trek", "Star Wars" "Lord of the Rings" , musicals and lot of the old classics. On Friday May 8 my daughter took me to see the new Star Trek movie and I must say that I loved it.

Crafts and hobbies

At present it is Cross Stitch, Plastic Canvas stitching and crochet. Over the years I have done fabric painting, sewing (mostly clothes), latch hook, paint by number, stamped embroidery and when I first learned crochet it was thread crochet then later I learned to do granny squares with yarn and that is mostly what I do today is yarn.

I also have several collections that we have been working on for many years.

First is elephants I like them with their trunks up. I got my first ones at the Missouri State Fair about 30 years ago. My favorite is a ceramic one that is painted lavender with pink spots. I don't know why it just is. I have seen a cute one called Humphrey in the magazine Cross Stitch Crazy, I got the July 09 issue the other day. Would love to have more but the British magazines and patterns are really expensive over here..

Next is Dragons. Hubby likes the really fierce ugly ones. I like the cute ones. I have several cross stitch patterns that I would really like to make but at present have not been able to get the supplies. And to go with the dragons we have to have wizards.

Next I have many different magnets. From hand made to souvenir maps. Many different Christmas ornaments that I have made or received in exchanges over the last 12 or so years.

Family and pets

I am retired since July 2005. Worked 28 years for the city, hubby worked 33 years and retired in June 1996. We had 2 kids Daughter has 3 boys ages 19, 20 and 22. Daughter and 2 of here boys are staying here for now. Son has daughter 16, and a Step daughter age 17. Pets we have 1 cat SuzyQ very spoiled. Also we have 6 ferrets ranging is age from 2 to 6+? Daughter also has a cat named Wiley. It has been fun watching him and SuzyQ. She is 9 years old and has been around no other cats except when she was a kitten. She is starting to accept him a little but she still hisses at him if he is somewhere she wants to be or he is invading her space too much.

My swaps

Since I joined here I have began to collect postcards. Many are map cards, state name cards, state capital cards. These I am going to list here so you can see what I already have. I am also trying to get these posted on my Webshots in albums. Link is at the top of this profile.
