I was tagged by Dee

1. What were you doing ten years ago?

I was completely immersed in weaving and quilting. As a weaver I was a member of the state weaver's guild plus also started a small group of local weavers in a study group. As a quilter I was a member of the local quilter's guild, a member of a small art quilt group, plus attended many quilt shows--Vermont Quilt Festival and Lancaster, Pennsyvania quilt show were the highlights of that year. I was weaving and quilting up a storm. I hadn't yet tried beading, so didn't realize how this would eventually take over my life.


2. What are five things on m to-do list?

Well, I still am into weaving so I have a floor loom to warp for napkins plus a table loom to warp for bookmarks.

I am presently beading rivolis and am halfway on a bracelet of deep blue ones. I am also beginning a beaded tassel using Robin's finger weaving techniques.

I also have plans to do some wet felting, now that I am at my summer home and can be as messy there as I want.


3. Snacks I enjoy -- fresh fruit salad including strawberries, raspberries, mangoes, watermelon, papaya, pears, apricots, black cherries, peaches, bananas, and kiwi.


4. Things I would do if I were a billionaire.

My first thought is to split it four ways with my two daughters and two grandchilren. I would like to see them be able to do everything they would like to do without the constraints of bills and having to watch every penny.


5. Places I have lived.

Claremont, NH
Spring Valley, OH
Michigan City, IN
Oswego, IL
Evanston, IL
Cambridge, MA
Belmont, MA
Thetford Center, VT
Hanover, NH
Etna, NH
summers in Sunapee, NH

6. Peeps I want to know more about.

This one is not happening right now. Why don't all the people I would like to know more about have blogs?
