I consider myself to be Bohemian in spirit. The idea of a workshop in SoHo really suits me. (I would have preferred a loft, but there were no vacancies ; )

In reality I'm a just an ordinary wife, mom and grandma, whose outward appearance is more like that of a middle-aged librarian! Once I was a piano teacher but financial need forced me to abandon that profession. Subsequently I worked in an office for over twenty years, until I took a voluntary retirement a year or so ago.

I am a lover of music and the arts. My first love is classical music but I enjoy folk music - especially Celtic - and I like "Oldies" songs, including ragtime and jazz.

I do a little painting and have dabbled in a variety of different crafts. My house is cluttered with the results of my artistic endeavors! I also like needlework. I enjoy crocheting for small dolls, hence the afghans. In a nutshell, I like to create things, and I really love working with color. That's why the border/backgrounds I've done here tend to be so saturated with color!

And I read whenever I get the chance. Mysteries are my favorites. I'm especially fond of books by Tony Hillerman or the "Cat Who" series by Lillian Jackson Braun. Once in awhile I'll indulge in a fantasy-type book about dragons and unicorns and so forth.

(OK. This is where she really came from.)

And finally, I do enjoy my computer! I just can't seem to resist creating Web pages!
