I love all kinds of fabric arts, reading, writing and designing. I've been in a domestic partnership for 24 years, raised two girls, then lost one and my grandson 9 years ago. I work as a corrections nurse, and am currently owned by 2 poodles, Dusty & Nugget (ages 15 and 13) and a 3 year old tiger cat, Lady Silkie Proudtail the Cuddly, who is the undisputed empress of the house.
