Where do you do most of your blogging/writing???
I work downstairs in the man cave with lovely bright lime green walls and teal speckled carpeting...I find myself to be content because I usually write at the end of my work day and the space is intimate and quiet. I sit on a comfortable woven chair with a soft throw to cushion my back. I have Art works from around the county----- paintings...prints..sketches...quilts and wood carvings plus wonderful photographs from travels around our globe.
What books were your childhood favorites???
I have always been in love with A.A. Milne and Winnie the pooh. But as I grew I moved to Charlotte's Wed and Trumpeter Swan by E. B. White. ...the sense of community and family were strong influences even back then. Of course I fell in love with mysteries and Nancy Drew, I can visualize the book cover of the Spiral Staircase...then I moved to Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles with the life of mystery on the British Moors.
Who is your favorite fictional character???
I love the wonderful characters from Mark Twain's writings...Huck and Tom journeying down the Mississippi River. I played myself along the banks of the Ohio River flats and imagined traveling south on my own raft.
What is your favorite time of the day????
I love the evening when I am working on a quilt sitting on our old couch ...Ken is working on his school programs or watching basketball. I take this time to reflect and remember all the small miracles I have received today...and plan my focus for tomorrow. I love the final visit from my 20 year old cat Desdemona as she jumps up for her few moments of solitude on my lap.
Who would play me in a movie of my life????
I would like to say Christy Brinkley but more likely it will be someone like Rosie O Donnell.
Have you ever Googled yourself and been surprised at what you've found???
Yes and I was surprised and the list of my posts and writings...exhibitions... and retreats from the Art Quilt Network over the last couple of decades.
One materials possession I could not live without???
My over twenty year s of collecting my mother of pearl buttons.... my hand dyed fabrics and my sewing collections with threads and laces... pure joy even when they are in a mess in my upstairs studio!
Have you ever been naked in public???
Yes
What is your dream car???
I did think of anything at first...then I remembered a 1957 Chevy from my childhood. I could not even drive but an older boy on Terry Road had a shiny black 57 Chevy that I thought was really swell...I am older so swell was a word I liked then.
What/Who/Where was your first proper kiss???
On a Ferris wheel on the 4th of July at Fountain Ferry Amusement Park in Louisville , KY with Bruce. I was barely 16 and I thought the world would never stop spinning. Bruce was my first real boyfriend and my first love.
