About Me
-
Describe Yourself:I am the Feature Writer for Suite101.com's Knitting and Crochet section. Come see me there! http://knittingcrochet.suite101.com/ I also own Tattered Tomes and Tutoring, and Treasured Textiles. As almost everyone does, I have SO many things going on in my life. But since this section is "about me," I guess you want to know about me! First and Foremost, I am a mother to two beautiful girls. My wonderful husband and I homeschool them both. He and I both teach at art and business colleges in downtown Chicago, and we own a bookstore / tutoring center. I've completed two Master Degrees, an MBA and a MHRM, and am beginning my doctorate at Chicago. I haven't yet narrowed down my topic, but it will be something in Business Psychology. Almost unbelievably, I still find time to do something I LOVE: Be in a Band. You can checkout our website for more pics and info at www.defkat.com . I have many years on the Chicago/Rockford Music Scene. I am currently planning a national tour to promote my CD. I have played for crowds ranging in size from 6 to 60,000 people. They say I'm a fairly accomplished pianist, as well. It's a cool site, and there's a ton of information on there as well, so I would love it if you would visit.

Interests
-
Favorite Music, Artists, Genres:So much music has influenced me throughout the years…I can't even begin to name all of them, but some come to mind—Rod Stewart and his rough blue-eyed soul, Koko Taylor who taught me a woman can be strong, Al Green and his controlled, subdued voice, Issac Hayes sultry reverberation, Janis Janis Joplin's vocal acrobatics, Etta James' powerful yet silky sound, Marvin Gaye's sweltering style, the incomparable Bill Withers' percussion and rhythm, the Commodores' cohesive harmonies, Linda Ronstandt's powerful voice, Patsy Cline's smooth alto, Bonnie Raitt's gritty blues, all the blues greats—Muddy Waters, Buddy Guy (no other scorching guitarist like him), BB King, Little Walter, Johnny Lee Hooker, all the soul greats – Otis Rush, Otis Redding, and all the rock greats – Heart, Led Zeppelin…so, so many to mention…it's just impossible…

Favorite Books, Writers, Genres:I own a bookstore, so I have tens of thousands of books. And since I'm my own best customer, my private library has several thousand books in it. I want to convert my garage into a library. Some of my favorites are Flatland, Sphereland, Flatterland, The Elegant Universe, The Theory of Everything, Economic Theory, Art Books, Math Theory Books, sci-fi, especially Robery J. Sawyer and Harry Turtledove, but also the great classics like Fahrenheit 451, Animal Farm, Dandeion Wine, Heinlein--almost all the TRUE Classics., Stephen Hawking, Carl Sagan, Margaret Atwood
-
Favorite Movies, Actors, Genres:I'll watch anything Anthony Hopkins, Hugh Jackman or Jake Gyllenhaal are in. I like military movies and psychological thrillers. I like to see the classics re-done if they are done well. Sci-Fi is great, even when it's bad. And, sadly, with a three-year old, I have become quite fond of Spongebob. :o)

Interests and Activities:Fiber Arts, Band, Music, Books, Homeschooling, PhD Business/Social/Psychology and Entrepreneuring! Lately, I've picked up a poker bug. It's an absolute distraction from everything else that I SHOULD be doing! I love to knit, crochet and embroider. I adore theatre and opera, and also enjoy performing at my community theatre. Every now and then, I attend a geeky M.E.N.S.A. meeting. I am a solid supporter and member of the AHA.
