I'm a person who cannot be still, I always need to be doing something with my hands and I love to have a number of projects on the go at once so I can switch if I tire of one. I do cross stich, patchwork, quilting, knitting, drawing and painting, photography.

I am an addicted bibliophile, having learned to read before I can remember, and try to keep track of my reading history via the wonders of technology, including a blog at butterflyreader.blogspot.com/. I'm a pretty broad reader, and love graphic art such as Maus and Laika, and have my own comic pusher at the local library.
