Math teacher, quilter, painter, crafter, empty-nester (my daughter is away at college) , Yorkie lover, New Yorker, vegetarian, thrifter, clothing reconstructor, and the list grows daily... I had brain surgery to remove a benign tumor on 4/26. You can checkout my blog at http://countdown2brainsurgery.blogspot.com/ Hooray! The surgery was a success. So far it has affected only my speech and short-term memory but not any of my creative skills. It should get better over time. I am back to swapping!

I do not really have favorite colors as their interplay gives each an important role. I suppose I love girly colors like pinks and reds. I also love working with earthy colors like gray, brown and green. I dress in a lot of gray accentuated with crazy bright accesories.
