My first purchase of a wheel is an eighteenth century flax wheel. It has an oak base. Lovely little wheel, but too valueable to use. It has the distaff. It is my pride and joy. My next most precious wheel is a shaker walking...

Do you think so? Either your face or your profile has resemblance to a celebrity? We see many people who are remarkably similar to a known personality,either in looks or in mannerisms. Have your friends and family ever...

Greenberry I think it's great that you want to look like your mothers! They sound like wonderful women to me.

Greenberry Could bathing her every week be drying her skin out too much? I've never bathed a cat more than occasionally because of an emergency but perhaps she is itchy because of dry skin.

I have a new cat, Stella, who is a long haired calico. Her coat is impossible; she needs combing every day. And she hates it! Unlike a dog it's hard to distract her while I'm combing, and when the comb gets caught in the knots she...

Greenberry I don't know Stella's breed; I sort of inherited her from an elderly lady that no longer could take care of her. She had been partially shaved when I got her, because the lady couldn't care for the coat. I'd rather not shave her. I've been brushing her every...

What kind of book would you write? Do you think that writing is still a good career choice for some people or do you think that this is not a good choice for many people?? Because so many people are trying to write now...

Greenberry I guess some of it depends on whether you want to write fiction or non-fiction. If you want to write non-fiction, you could decide what things you are interested in writing about and then figure out where the markets are. Articles would be easier to place than...

Greenberry I found the Furminatior; it looks interesting and I'll think about it. Cats do seem to object to combing and brushing, don't they?

Greenberry I'd love to have you visit. I'm very lucky to be able to do what I really enjoy to make a living. Where I live is a tourist destination, which makes it a little easier. I don't know much about Amazon as far as what they might pay for reviews, but it might be...

Greenberry I have a small yarn and book shop. So reading is part of my job, too, but I can't do TOO much of it. I review books but no one has paid me for reviewing yet! I haven't looked for places that might pay, though; it's a thought!

Greenberry I think the connection to the past is part of why I am a hand spinner. And there is nothing like working with your own fiber!
