About Me

I am a college professor who loves to read, code, and craft. I have two great daughters and two granddaughters.
 

Most of the crafts I like to do are the “rinse and repeat” variety. Like beading. I love picking up the beads and placing them in neat little rows, making beautiful designs as I go. I have made Christmas ornaments and many, many jewelry pieces. I also like knitting. I very much enjoy the feel of the yarn through my hands and the look of the needles as they take up another stitch. I have made many knitted objects. Needlepoint is one of my favorite things, although I don’t do it very much anymore. It’s very hard on the eyes and the hands. I enjoy Temari, which is the “art” of using tiny threads to make mostly geometric designs on circular objects. I have recently tried weaving so that I could use some of the leftover yarns from my knitting projects. I must admit that it is relaxing, although I don’t think I’m doing a great job. All of these things require little active thought—just the desire to make something. I usually listen to books while I do crafts.

I will read anything that stays still. I usually read on my Kindle. I exercise quite a bit everyday and read most of the time I am exercising. My favorite authors? Fredrik Backman, John Grisham, Malcolm Gladwell, Stephen King, Liane Moriarty, John Connelly.
