I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Spring song
"Nothing is so beautiful as spring - When weeds, in wheels, shoot long and lovely and lush..."
My favorite season is spring. One of my favorite poets is Gerard Manley Hopkins. These lines were running through my head while out for a walk through a field yesterday.
I agree. Hopkins' poetry is wonderful - so evocative and fresh.
