About me

Gender Female
Location Southern Vermont, United States
Introduction I'm almost 30 and an at home mom for My Wonderful Mister, our 3 not-so-littles, and a variety of pets. I have a (very) small business and am overhauling my housekeeping skills. I love to make things and I love to collect things, and I REALLY love tutorials. They are my friends. And now all my friends can be your friends, too! See http://tutorialhoard.blogspot.com/ for tutorial reviews, projects & techniques, and http://1000trains.blogspot.com/ for my projects, family, the shop & all my other pursuits.
Interests I love (in no particular order, nor is this list complete...) children, animals, antiques, owls, marbles, cloth diapers, green eyeliner, books and interesting bits of trivia. I love collections of interesting things. And I love making things... Sewing, quilting, jewelry- I do some backyard blacksmithing & amateur lapidary... All are things I want to do when I grow up.
Favorite Movies Anything Eddie Izzard! Mary Poppins, The Princess Bride, The African Queen, Bogey in general, The Marx Brothers...
Favorite Music AC/DC, Ani DiFranco, The Felice Brothers, Adele, The Clash, Janis Joplin, Smokey Robinson, James Taylor, The Righteous Brothers, Blondie, Nicki Minaj, Motown, soul, rock, electronica, dancehall reggae...
Favorite Books Jane Austen (LOVE Pamela Aiden's take on Mr. Darcy!), Elizabeth Peters, Anne McCaffrey's Pern, Louis L'Amour, John D. MacDonald, Dave Sedaris, Chuck Pahlaniuk, L.E. Modesit, lots of sci-fi/fantasy.

Do you believe that forks are evolved from spoons?

Yes. With the exception of grapefruit spoons, shrimp forks and those sharp fondue-stick things. They are an entirely other genus.
