I live in the United States and am married. We have one cat. My favorite animal is cats. I am very laid back and down to earth person. I enjoy vintage/country type of things when it comes to art or my style of dress. For crafts I also enjoy the primitive/folk items as well. I love most crafts; sewing/quilting (especially doing them by hand), embroidery, counted cross stitch,needle tatting, crochet. I enjoy helping others especially in making items for certain causes and gifts to family and friends. I also like gardening, cooking and baking, writing letters, visiting the country, visiting national parks and reading.

I especially love learning and reading about the aristocracy as well.
