All about it

This is where I am supposed to say that I am awesome. Well, welcome to my sandbox. If you can't tell already, I, LeEtta Schmidt (nee Gross), am a project-aholic. This here collection of code and bandwidth is a project in which to store my other projects. Does it look like a lot to you? 'Cause, this is not them all. Maybe perhaps eventually possibly I will continue to expand this site to accommodate them.

About me

I write about things with more confidence than I speak about things. I do not like to reiterate what someone else has said--it's important enough that it has been said, so I tend to stay quiet in meetings (it's called lurking when the meetings are online, right?). Long ago I wrote about myself that I like to do everything as often as possible in the hopes that someday I would become good at something. This is intrinsic to my project-aholism. At this point in my life I have more projects and ideas than I have finished products only because dividing my time between them delays each and every one of them.

Now, if you're wondering if I'm the same person you saw somewhere else, doing something else with the same name, let me help. This is also me: My Shop on Etsy, Facebook profile, me on LinkedIn, NaNoWriMo profile, my Selected Works site, me on Web Junction, my YouTube channel, and finally deviant art-which I tried to get rid of and am slightly happy it didn't disappear but am not sure what to do with yet.

I am:  a librarian, crafter, artist, day-dreamer, wife, daughter, highly amateur musician, writer and, aforementioned project-aholic.
I like: Gaudi, Bosch, Romain Gary, my cats, coffee, wine, Bernini, military strategy, pumpkin seeds, folklore, language, lists, comics, British comedy, autumn, and fantasy movies.
I dislike: bananas, fatalism, blue paint, Night Train Murders, reality TV, and almond butter.

About Idge

My elementary school mascot was a dolphin. Idge is not a dolphin.

As the mascot of the LeEMS machine, he is like a quiet sphinx guardian that laser kills those with impure intentions (yeah, that was a possibly incorrect reference to The Neverending Story) except Idge does not have laser eyes.
