Howdy! I finally made it back. Hopefully things are just stable/steady for a while. I have missed making ATCs and doing swaps.

Disclaimer update: I think I’ve more or less found my swapping feet 😆

I’m at the starter levels of “old” (50!) I’m chronically ill and medical issues. I’m restricted getting out and about socially. It’s been about 6 or 7 years since I have “peopled” socially much. The solitude has been nice as far as having time to look inward and evaluate things and deciding what my priorities are and how weird life can be sometimes. I still need to interact with folks outside of hospitals and clinics. This a safer way for this shy gal to do so and here we are. I’m socially awkward and sometimes can seem like I’m a self centred jerk but it’s mostly that I’m autistic and don’t really catch nuances a lot of the time. Things I enjoy: Myths and mythology, legends, folktales and lore. Kindness. I enjoy a lot of “dead arts” like sewing, tatting (handmade lace), embroidery, spinning (recently acquired interest) I think stories about weird or silly things that we worried about or were afraid of as children are fascinating. I also love polar bears, seals, selkies, mermaids, otters, vintage fashion, and Lego. •I have discovered Artist Trading Cards! I love ATCs. I’m interested in swapping or adopting ATCs privately just message me!
