Leave a comment and I will pick three of your interests and three of your icons I would like you to explain. Post them in your journal and allow others to comment and request the same. Grabbed from uncacreamy, and she asked be about:

Interests:
Athena's thimble: Athena's thimble is the East Kingdom of the SCA's embroidery guild. It's a sub-group where you can show off your work, learn new techniques, and discuss the craft of embroidery. I haven't been very active lately, but it's still one of my favorite parts of the SCA.

Fiber arts: My favorite craft is embroidery, and I want to learn just about every other fiber art I've ever heard of: spinning, weaving, knitting, crochet, tatting, dying, etc.

Progressive politics: Progressivism historically advocates the advancement of workers' rights and social justice (two of my favorite causes). (I swiped that from Wikipedia's entry.) Ordinary people using political means to make life better for themselves and other ordinary people . I'm nowhere near as active as I should be.

Icons:
Tarzan: Tom & I joke that Disney cartoonists snuck into his home and used him as a model for their version of Tarzan. I use that icon sometimes when I'm talking about Tom.
Blue Fractal: It's pretty, and I use it for times that I don't have an icon that strikes me as a perfect fit for the topic.
Sleeping Bear Dunes: The Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore is a park in northern Michigan that is one of my favorite places on earth. My family went camping there just about every summer when I was a kid. It's got miles of beaches on Lake Michigan, and because it's so big you can find a spot that's just as crowded (or empty) as you're in the mood for.
