My bathroom theme and colors: I want to make the new bathroom crisp and clean white, in a country sort of way
My dislikes: Rude people
My crafts..what I like: Want to learn entrelac, tapestry crochet, crocheting with wire and beads. I love the feel of different yarns, bamboo, soy yarns. Felting has been so much fun, I am now in love with wool. I love surprises and being surprised.
My allergies: none
My favorite pets: We have a white American Eskimo dog, Ringo; our black kitty, Marvin, disappeared a month after we moved out to the country (afraid the coyotes got him, sniff); but we have a new orange tabby named Ollie who is a crazy cat that stays indoors at night.
My favorite scents: clean scents, apple, melon, VS lovespell; most perfume smells horrid on me but I appreciate the smells on others
Other stuff about me...Married 22 yrs, 4 kids/1 still at home, conservative Christian, just started a new diet so no candy please but lots of encouragement to stick with it appreciated!! LOL!

Robin's wish list

I swiped the list & am editing it....


My favorite colors:
I tend to lean towards yellows, blues, purples
My hobbies: crocheting, watching tv (I admit it), gardening, embroidery, cooking/baking (not in that exact order;))
My kitchen theme & colors: ahh, gee, yellow, white & blue. Cats & flowers.
My bathroom theme & colors:currently, flowers, white & blue. When October hits, it will go back to blue & celestial (stars, moon)
My dislikes: okra, itchy/scratchy yarn and huge cockroaches
My crafts..what I like: crocheting & embroidery, with a little rubber stamping tossed in
My allergies: adhesive tape (not that has anything to do with yarn)
My favorite pets: I have 2 spoiled cats and 1 angora bunnie (no, I have never spun yarn from him and doubt I ever will). I like most animals with the exception of hamsters and the Doberman that lives down the strett - just that particular Doberman, no other Dobermans....
My favorite scents: rain, daffodils, bread baking
Other stuff about me: I don't really watch that much tv - "South Park", Mond of Mencia" and "Jeopardy" about does it for me. Of course, I do watch "Martha's Sewing Room" as well as the "Knit and Crochet Today" on PBS. I'm a newspaper junkie, I love to read the Sunday newspapers - from anywhere (provided it's in English. I can read some German, but forget almost anything else). I have a ton of crochet hooks as well as a ton of knitting needles. I do knit but crocheting is really the needlework I prefer. (I've only knitted 1 scarf since I was about 15. I'd say I have crocheted 15 scarves this year).
