About Me

*****I am so sorry, for disappearing. It has taken me awhile to get my life back together. I will be working on catching up. Again, I am sorry to have disappointed so many.*****

I reuse shipping materials! Save the planet!

If you would like patterns or completed projects from my web page, I would be happy to do private trades, just pm me.

I love to learn new things. I need to create.

I am the mother of a beautiful, artistic 20 year old daughter. Wife of a fellow artist/crafter. I am owned by one spice finch, three Society finches two JRT's, three Siamese, and one Oriental Shorthair. Yes we have a rather large family!

I prefer to spend my weekends at the dog park, hiking, at flea markets (Rodger's Ohio ROCKS!), local farmers markets, gardening, thrifting or any other activity that allows me to be outside or looking for treasures!

My idea of treasures is skewed, well according to my daughter. Things I like to find; Old scientific stuff - scales, tubes, beakers, lenses, glass slides, etc; watch parts; tea related items - creamers, pots, cups & saucers, cozies, non - terry tea towels, trivets: unusual cookie, cake or candy forms; Tatting related items; vintage fabrics; heirloom local vegetables and fruits, yum; old papers/ letters/tickets/ receipts/ cards, calling cards etc,cool things to create with. Knitting- love natural fibers, I love lace weight yarns to chunky wools, I have a few physical issues and prefer wooden or bamboo knitting needles ( much warmer/kinder on achy or arthritic hands).

Favorite Music / Books / Movie

Favorite Music; I enjoy all types of music. My favorite genre, my daughter calls angry chick music. What can I say I like women singers who belt out what they feel:D Fav' s list; Shiny Toy Guns, Paramore, Katy Perry, Garbage, Pink, Kidney Thieves. Some others; Flobots, Korn, Godsmack.

Favorite Books; All, seriously. I read the cereal box if that is all I can get my hands on! I love non-fiction. The quest for knowledge is never satiated. Some fiction favorites;Wheel of Time, American Gods, Harry Potter, Twilight, Little Women, Pride and Prejudice.

Bookmarks: I prefer book 'thongs' (string or ribbon decorated with beads at ends) and handmade; sewn fabric, lace, knitted or crochet marks.

Favorite Movies; Hmmm, off the top of my head; Night Breed, Pretty in Pink, Accepted, V for Vendetta, Practical Magic, Pirates of the Caribbean, Count of Monte Cristo. Indian - Jodha Akbar.

Favorite Television; Iron Chef JAPAN, Firefly, House, Chef Ramsey anything:D, Doctor Who, Lost, Top Chef, Bones, Project Runway, anything educational or historic, as my husband says "the history of dirt"

Favorite Crafts

I teach Zakka - Japanese Handcrafts at the local college. I have a Zakka group here on Swap bot. I like to paint, draw, sew, make jewelry, pretty much haven't met a craft I don't enjoy.

I am really excited to start some new crafts! Victorian Calling Cards, Steampunk, Spencerian Penmanship, a whole new world of odd crafts:D

Likes / Dislikes

Likes;

I am mostly vegetarian, I know some people don't think this to be a correct statement. I do eat eggs and milk and other dairy. I occasionally eat seafood and rarely meat, but try not to. It is too expensive, both in cost and drain on resources/environment.

BENTO! Love all things Bento:D Sushi is great to:D Currently striving to find unusual dividers and cups to use inside the bento box.

Tiny Botanical/Seasonal/Nature cookie cutters - Flowers, leaves, trees, acorns, stars, moons, snowflakes, fruit, animals

Lovely European Dark Chocolate :D

I prefer seasonal motifs to holiday ones please (i.e. snowflakes/holly/pinetrees not santa (unless German or Victorian father Christmas type:D) , eggs or flowers not crosses or biblical (I am not christian), etc)

Love Purple (not lilac), Blue and green are very nice too, animals, plants, I love praying mantis, nature, linen, tea, violets,cherry blossoms ( sakura - in Japanese), all things from India (Ganesha, Shiva, any Goddesses), Tibetan Buddism / Taras / Mandalas / Prayer flags, Asia, Japanese craft magazines, natural linen quilting, cooking, pottery, watercolor painting, jewelry making, things Victorian, Knitting, costume making, beautiful handwriting/calligraphy, crazy quilts.

Historic - Medieval, Renaissance, Regency, Edwardian, Romantic, Victorian

Fictional History and /or Steampunk - (example:League of Extraordinary Gentlemen to Nine). Think History plus alternative timeline/technology)

Favorite Scents: pear, ginger, lavender, melon

Favorite Flavors: mint, chocolate, vanilla bean, melon, strawberry

Favorite Magazine: US - Tea Time, Vegetarian Times, Cooking Light, Interweave Knitting Japanese- Cotton time, Cotton Friend

Kawaii - I prefer food with faces, obento / sushi friends, Strawberries, cherries, cute poo, fruit, adorable animals, kokeshi dolls, matrushka dolls, sweets, handmade items, cell charms, felt mascots.

Knitting- natural fibers, lace weight yarns to chunky wools, prefer wooden or bamboo knitting needles. Would love to learn to spin wool and dye my own yarn!

I adore tea and all the items associated with tea. I frequently thrift and flea market for tea making equipment and tools.

My favorites are: * White Teas Plain & Flavored * Green Teas Plain & Flavored * Oolong Teas Plain & Flavored * Chai's all varieties *Herbals - Favs; Mint, Strawberry,
Rose, Fruity
