I love to sew: clothes, quilting, crafts, etc. I am really enjoying quilting at the moment.

I also tole paint. I enjoy painting whimsical things as well as animals and florals. I'm very active in my local chapter of the Society of Decorative Artists.

I love color! In both my paintings and sewing, I tend to lean toward pure bright colors: jewel tones, earth tones. Sometimes I like pastels if they don't appear "washed-out".

I also love to knit and crochet. I currently have two sweaters going -- one for my son and one for me.

FAVORITE AUTHORS:
I enjoy reading. Mostly I read suspense novels. Some of my favorite authors are: Jeffrey Deaver, Nelson Demille, Michael Connelly, Steve Alten. I also really enjoy reading true adventures.

ANIMALS: I am an animal lover. I have 4 dogs, 1 cat, and 2 pygmy goats. Hopefully a few more pygmy goats by the end of March. (I think my little female is expecting.) My dogs are: Hunter --Chocolate lab, Myah -- mini American Eskimo, and 2 chihuahuas: Sarah --1 long-haired, and Toby --1 short-haired.
