I also enjoy reading cozy, crafty mysteries (ex. Laura Child's Scrapbooking and Tea Shop Mysteries, Maggie Sefton's Knitting Mysteries, and Mary Kruger's Knitting Mysteries).

I enjoy listening to books on CD or MP3 too.

My favorite crafts are crocheting, knitting, needle felting, altering books, making ATCs, decorative painting and scrapbooking.

I am learning how to hand spin and dye my own yarn. I recently purchased a spinning wheel and I'm learning how to use it.

I haven't encountered a craft that I didn't want to try at least once.

cotton yarn - I love to crochet or knit dishcloths/washcloths

acrylic yarn - I like to make granny suares while I watch TV or listen to books on CD

I enjoy watching HGTV, the DIY Network, and the Food Network.

Some of my favorite TV shows are House Hunters, Knitty Gritty, and Crafters Coast to Coast.
