Hi All,
I live in North Carolina, USA I live just below the Virginia/NC border. It is mostly an agricultural area here and my town is very small, but I like it this way now. Use to live in Virginia Beach and it's great but I like the quieter area. They grow a lot of cotton around here, which fascinated me when I first moved down here because I had never seen it growing. Peanuts are farmed a lot around here also along with soy beans.

I'm 62 years old, I have been crocheting for 40 some years. I have two kids, and six grand kids, two girls and four boys. I am retired now after dealing with breast cancer treatments 3 years ago, I am happy to say all went well there. But heads up to others, don't take Prempro unless you really need to. That is what my Dr. put me on when I turned 50 saying it was about that time. I didn't have any symptoms of needing it other then my age and it ended up giving me cancer. So now I don't take anything without great thought and research.

I do a lot of crocheting for local nursing homes and I enjoy that. I look after three of my grand kids and they keep me young at heart any way LoL.

I am enjoying getting to know all of you.
Happy stitching,
Judi G.

I am also retired and can't sit still, so I am doing work online Which I really enjoy. I like crocheting and knitting and usually have something on the go.

Hi everyone!

I'm Valerie but everyone online knows me as Crochetgal. I'm in my mid 50s and am currently in the USA in the Desert Southwest. I've been crocheting since I was in grade school. Misty, sounds like you are very close to where I spent about 20 years.. I was in Kitchener/Waterloo!

As much as I loved the snowy winters, I wouldn't give up my life here in the desert at all. I've got the best of both worlds with the temperate winter climate but snow only a few hours away if I really want it.

I maintain my own online shop where I sell some of my crochet work and my yarns at crochetgal.etsy.com . I'm also a distributor for the yarns from Coats & Clark which include the Red Heart, TLC, Boutique, and Stitch Nation yarns and the threads from J&P Coats including Aunt Lydia's.
