I'm a creativity addict- addicted to others creativity as well as my own. I could spend all of my time making things, daydreaming about making things and looking at things that others have made. I have a day job as an ESL teacher to refugees that I absolutely love, and besides spending my time making things or reading I am happiest trying to improve the lives of others and spending my time in a multi-cultural setting. I enjoy all of the following so much that I literally can't sleep soundly at night: reading, baking, crocheting, interior design, gardening, collage, photography, cooking, gift-giving, party-organizing, entertaining in my home, magazine browsing, collecting, thrifting, bargain-hunting, stained glass making, mixed-media art, gift-wrapping, hosting tea parties, blogging, sewing, and any other crafts I can find time for. Things I love are: jazz music, birds, creme brulee, books of all kinds, cats, nature, Volvos, flowers, creative people, spending time alone, fall weather, yoga, romance, sincerity, big cheap jewelry, biting my nails, going out to eat, red wine, martinis, thoughtfulness, holidays, antiques, laughing hard, New Orleans, monograms, cupcakes, sandlewood, beaches, snow, paintings by John William Godward, ribbon, vintage furniture, banana crepes from Richtree in Toronto, and anyone that would take the time to read this!
