Greetings, I'm a single-by-choice mom to a beautiful, longhaired, 5 year old boy. He is in half-day HeadStart combined with some lessons after, and loving it.

After 3 months our apartment is getting that lived in feel. Starting to figure out where things go and how to keep them picked up.
http://www.squalorsurvivors.com/ is keeping me in line. Checking back into my RV this winter, I'd rate it about 4-6. My new apartment is NOT going to get bad. With illnesses, we are about a 2, 'but the closets and drawers are empty'.

I make and sell recreations of games that are at least 400 years old. toys too. things like the ancestor to chess, and the ancestor to backgammon.

I will finally set up an office/manufacturing space right across the street from our apartment.

This is my kind of humor: http://craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1097

I started drop spinning about 2 years ago and bought a Babe spinning wheel for my holiday gift. Taught myself to crochet probably 10 years ago, knitting for about 20 years, Gram tried to teach me to knit when I was a kid. didn't like it then.... The numbers sound big, but I haven't completed many projects. I seem to only play with yarn during the winter.

FO: a TV blanket for my brother. many hats, wrist warmers, and baby booties. a scarf, and a crown for my son. 2 market bags. more hats.

WIP: spinning 2 fleeces of raw Navajo-Churro wool. reclaiming sweaters for the yarn.

Colors: jewel tones, natural sheep colors Fiber: wool, silk, alpaca, fine cotton (I have enough acrylic)
