About Me

I'm in my middle 60's, secretary at a large, urban hospital. Commuter, train/shuttle bus. Live alone except for two rescue cats, Max (Blue Point Siamese) and Katydid (Maine Coon and whatever came through the yard that night) in an old Victorian house now apartments. Lots of yard, overlooking river, just down from a marina, in small New England town where the post office/library people know everyone. Love books, knitting, animals (especially cats). I like most colors: yellow, most greens, pink, blue, violet, purple, Least favorite colors would be brown, black, red, and orange. Use mostly acrylic yarns. Collect knitting needles, especially vintage ones.

Enjoy plants and flowers, especially flowers. Have bed of yellow climbing roses I planted several years ago,thrilled to see come back again each year.

Favorite Music

Enjoy most kinds except rap and loud, metallic stuff. Have a large collection of classical cd's and listen to radio - old stuff from 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's.

Favorite Books

I really enjoy classics and mysteries, especially English cozies. Have whole set of Agatha Christie hard cover books. Compulsive reader, back of boxes, newspapers over shoulder of fellow commuters. Love to read, collect cookbooks. Especially ones that go beyond just the recipe.

Favorite Movies

Like older movies, vintage stuff, classics and comedies. No excessive blood and guts type movies.

Favorite Television

Watch PBS, Mystery Theater, old movies. Especially older period pieces. Cooking shows, Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune. Liked the old Martha Stewart shows from Turkey Hill days. Gardening shows.

Favorite Crafts

Knitting. I love to knit! This year I fulfilled a long time wish - created a whole stash of yarn. Stocked up on sale items -- filled a whole bookcase from ceiling to floor with yarn. Enjoy embroidery, crocheting. Made Xmas ornaments one year which was fun.

Comment: You are absolutely incredible, Celeste! I just about died when I saw that afghan you made my mum - it's absolutely gorgeous!! As soon as I saw your name on the package I gave it to my mum and told her she could open it (there was no way I could hold onto it until Christmas without giving in to my curiosity first!). What a hit! After attacking the box like a kid at christmas (honestly, the way she used that pair of scissors was scary), mum spent the following half hour in awe of your work (she said over and over in german, translated: 'how beautiful!' as she admired it). The colors you chose were absolutely perfect, she draped it over her bed and the colors not only complimented the room perfectly, but gave it a real warm feeling - just like sunshine. It was even more precious because my mum is currently in the grip of a pretty bad flu, and this made her forget about it for a while. Later that night she brought it out and showed my dad. I can't put into words how much she loved your afghan - thank you so very much from both of us! xxx

Comment: Thank you so much! The mice are already being slapped around the house, and I just had to read a chapter in the book before I rated ;P
Response: Had to laugh at the toys being "slapped" around the house. I have a Blue Point Siamese so the book was special to me. Enjoy, so glad you liked your package. Celeste
