About me

Gender Female
Occupation Music Teacher, Shepherd
Location Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Introduction I'm a private music teacher, living on a small farm where we raise fleece sheep and create wool products which are sold through Bellwether Wool Company in which I'm a partner with my good friend, Lois. I am a sometimes free-lance writer, and love to spin, weave, knit, quilt, felt, and otherwise "mess" with fiber arts. Music is such an important part of my world, both making it (I play piano, guitar and bagpipes) and listening.
Interests Music, all fiber arts, horses, dogs and other animals, writing, fishing, hiking
Favorite Movies Gandhi, The Cowboys, Sleepless in Seattle, Wait Until Dark, Bambi, Rob Roy, almost any musical.
Favorite Music Rhapsody on a Theme by Paganini and Nights in the Gardens of Spain (de Falla), Chopin's Fantasy Impromptu, Rodrigo's Spanish suite, Celtic music, Oscar Peterson, Pointer Sisters, Classic jazz, 50's Rock and Roll, Judy Collins, Blood Sweat and Tears, Simon and Garfunkel, James Taylor, etc., etc., etc.
Favorite Books My Family and Other Animals, Undaunted Courage, The Hobbit and Trilogy of The Ring, The Piano Shop on the Left Bank, Opal: The Journal of an Understanding Heart, Smokey, Black Beauty

Where is the line in fiber arts between "utilitarian" and "art"?
