This page is for anyone who wants to know more about me. I have been spinning for about 25 years or so, love to knit and weave a little. I also am exploring the process of dyeing with plants. I live in the Salt Lake City area and still love it even though it is getting far too many other people that want to live here! I work during the day as an Administrative Assistant heavy on the accounts payable, and most of that time is spent dreaming about what I want to do when I get home (like everybody else!) Spinning is my thing and would give up almost everything else but that one thing, but I have been knitting like a demon for quite a long time now as well. I have the perfect kitties named Tweedy and Birdy and enjoy their company a lot. I have done lots of other things in my life including showing Afghan Hounds and Basset Hounds, judging the same at fun matches, I enter my stuff in the Utah State Fair every year and an occasional fiber exhibit (when accepted), I love to travel, love to garden and most of all go to Spinning Retreats with my spinning/traveling buddy, Shirley Marshall. I am on the SheepThrills list, Spin-List, Natural Dye List. I also join just about every exchange that is mentioned on those lists and will post pics as they happen.

I have taken up HTML writing and am enjoying the web. I sell stuff on ebay and also take my spinning related business, Wasatch Watercolours, to local events for spinners. I am the coordinator for our local group's (Wasatch Woolpack Handspinners) Retreat in Park City every summer. It has become "the" event that everyone looks forward to every year. We pamper ourselves with many hundreds of prizes (really!!) and spin for 4 days under the beautiful mountain skies. The meadow that we have our retreat in is owned by Bob and Kathy Wright. Those wonderful spinners gave me a huge hatbox of their handspun skeins for my hard work planning this event one year. It was such an honor!

Thanks for visiting my site!

Snake River Fiber Fair booth May 2000. The log cabin quilt top is my first attempt at machine piecing. It will be finished soon. I chose a lightweight denim for the back and will machine quilt it.
