One of my fellow Stitching Sisters has tagged us all, it will be interesting to see the answers to these "in depth" questions. I've just come home after a day setting up for the Embroiderers' Guild at the Quilt and Craft Fair, so I'm pretty tired, but it feels so good to sit down to answer these questions.

I wish I'd thought of the live in housekeeper!
Hi Cristine, interesting list!
Just seen your comment on my blog, so glad to got to see some Japanese embroidery in person. It's quite wonderful in real life isn't it. I tracked down the website for the fair and saw that Shizuka Kusano was one of the exibitors - I have a couple of her books and the work is just wonderful. You are very lucky to have seen her work up close.

By the way, I'm with you and Margaret on the live in housekeeper.
I hope you don't mind, but I'm copying your question list to my blog. I love these and have fun seeing my friends' replies. I'll give you credit.
