First a note: BUR603 is my name in Etsy::
I especially like music from the 70's, folk music, Kate Rusby, Iron and Wine and Taylor Swift. I've been exploring country and Gayle sent me three awesome burned CDs, now I think I can say that I do like country! Thanks, Gayle!
I listen to books on tape/CD all the time, usually mysteries. The lastest book wasn't a mystery tho, it was "A Thrall's Tale" and it was fabulous! I also love Robin Hobb, a fantasy writer., sci fi, thrillers, and gothic romances, "The Cat Who.."books, Alexander McCall Smith books, travel books of Bill Bryson, Harry Potter
I'm not a big movie-goer, but old movies on TV are really fun for me. I like The English Patient, Little Miss Sunshine, Edward Scissorhands, Willow, Ghostbusters, Cool Hand Luke
History Channel, Discovery Channel, the Most Dangerous Catch, X-Files, Numbers, House, Naked Archaeologist, bicycle racing like Tour de France, Funniest Home Videos
I have been a handspinner for over 30 years. I also sew, knit, and weave. I make knitted garments and weave blankets from handspun, and I enjoy random creative sewing. I have gardens here- a veggie garden, a rose garden, an orchard, several flowerbeds and a greenhouse.
There are 4 cats and 3 dogs that live in my house, they graciously allow my husband and daughter and me to live here too, provided we reach down the food for them. I recently installed two hens and a duck in a coop in the backyard- shhh, don't tell the neighbors cuz they're not allowed! I love these poultry creatures, they give me 2 eggs a day and endless entertainment!
I sew for a lady who sells Scottish dance supplies online, I make child kilts and all her blouses; I am in a weaver's Guild and we do outreach, helping expose the public to weaving and spinning- I demo at the Renaissance Festival here in Kansas City on my spinning wheel. And I volunteer at the local animal shelter twice a week, feeding and cleaning up after about 50 cats- we are a no-kill shelter, and some cats have been with us all their lives.
I like all types of stickers and kawaii. I love ATCs, you can always send me one of those! Also chocolate, candy, crunchy salty snacks, wool yarn, anything with a spinning wheel on it, anything with a sheep on it, coffee, gnomes, fairies and elves, gardening gloves, the UK, cats, colors in the blue-to-purple-to pink range, small scissors, Nag Champra incense, new teatowels, cute socks, mittens. Any type of tea or coffee is appreciated, any type of sweet or salty snack too. I enjoy trying new things and am not picky! I am not allergic to anything. I do celebrate the usual American holidays, no religious affiliation, I'm a non-smoker. If You like it, I will like it!
