About meI love fantasy. I read a lot of children's fiction and a lot of classics. I re-read books all the time, so I enjoy having nice hardcovers of most books. However, I'll take paperback over nothing.

I am a seamstress specializing in formals and alterations but I sew just about everything. I also love to quilt, knit, play with Miles (my pup), run, and cook.

About my libraryI can happily say all of my books have finally made it into my catalog. Children's fiction dominates my library with a scattering of other books to keep it interesting.
