I'm a 40-year old mostly stay-at-home-mom and part-time librarian. I have an 10 1/2-year old daughter and a 8-year son, 1 cat, and 1 fairly patient husband! I love to read and make things, and never seem to have enough time to do as much of either as I'd like! I like wrens and hedgehogs and acorns, vintage hankies, violets, and buttons and beads. I love England, and dream of living there some day. My favorite colors are robin's egg blue, periwinkle, blue greens and blue-violets and peachy corals, and I don't have any fibre allergies that I know of--although I guess I have an "aesthetic" allergy to acrylic yarn!

I enjoy most music (except modern "country")--My current favorites are the Decemberists, Neko Case, Belle and Sebastian, XTC, The The, The Smiths, Robyn Hitchcock...

Red, The Double Life of Veronique, Oscar & Lucinda, The English Patient, North by Northwest, Arsenic and Old Lace, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade,Garden State, I heart Huckabees, Amelie, Picnic at Hanging Rock, A Canterbury Tale, Lars and the Real Girl, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Once...

Britcoms and British Cooks...Anything Monty Python, Clatterford (Jam & Jerusalem), Vicar of Dibley, As Time Goes By, The Young Ones, Fortysomething, Two Fat Ladies, anything Jamie Oliver or Nigella...

I guess knitting and embroidery are at the top of the list right now, and I'm trying currently to improve my sewing (both hand and machine)and crochet skills, but I've dabbled in all sorts of things! (And continue to dabble when I can find the time!)
