Geez...I'll go first, I guess;)
I'm new here, as you all have probably realized. I am a mutt, heritage-wise, being (in no particular order...I have it memorized a certain way, lol) Irish, English, French, Scottish, German, Scandinavian (unknown which country-long story), and a touch of Rom. I'm 30 years old, living in the Southern Californian Desert in a city named Hesperia roughly 1.5 hours from Los Angeles going south and west, and 3 hours from Las Vegas going north and east. I am married and have a 2 year old daughter named Elizabeth. I work as a pharmacy technician as my main job, as a notary public when needed, and am a registered minister (who, after not doing anything as a minister for years, will be preforming her first marriage in May for a friend of mine). I'm a history geek, and I have a vast amount of useless knowledge floating around my head, lol...things that I pick up here and there. For fun, I go to renaissance faires (and have worked them), learning to belly dance, and giving serious consideration to learning archery if I can find a decent teacher (and find the time).
I am a decent seamstress when I get the urge to sew as long as it's on one of my machines...I can hand sew, but it's not pretty. I can't hold the needle for long before my hand goes numb, and I have what is called an essential tremor (meaning there is no disease, such as parkinson's) in my right hand sometimes...it's just easier to machine sew as much as possible. My first kilt was made for my little brother for a halloween costume when he was in the 3rd grade. It was his idea, and won him 1st place in the school's costume contest. It came out pretty good considering I had no idea what I was doing. My husband is still waiting for his kilt since I promised to make one last year. The fabric is sitting in the fabric stash waiting for a day that Lizzy will be out of the house for a while...I have to lay all fabric on the floor to cut and manipulate, and she thinks that it's a dance floor, oy vey! Needless to say, you can not pleat anything with 2 yr old spinning on it.
Oh, damn, it's late, and I have to be up in 5.5 hours so I'll say my farewells.
G'nite all...
