About Me

I am a 25 year old, practically married, self proclaimed square. I live near Sacramento, CA. I love to create all types of things and get antsy when I don't get time to do so. I have a huge fuzzball son (with four legs). My first real attempt at a garden is doing quite well in my backyard. My Love and I are constantly working on our house which we bought in November...it is never ending. Luckily, my own craft space will be done sooner (hopefully) rather than later. I enjoy traveling, knitting, painting, mixed media projects, photography, 'sort of' scrapbooking, paper crafts and once my sewing machine is back in working order, and I’ll be sewing again. I also like writing in my journal and tending to the garden. I love everything antique and vintage, from the Victorian era to the 80's. Pin-ups and cheesecake make me quite happy. Oh Olivia, how you rock my world! As well as the greats: Vargas and Elvgren. Indian anything; saris, jewelry, religious paraphernalia. My Little Ponies!!! I am obsessed, and have quite a collection. I frequently make bracelets with my sister and cousin that have hilarious movie quotes. I love yard sales, flea markets and the occasional curb side shopping on neighborhood clean up days. :o) I believe that "One man's trash is another's treasure." I have a pretty large collection of vintage/costume jewelry. I looooove to read! Books, books, books! Young adult fiction is a guilty pleasure, my favorite is Francesca Lia Block. Snails, mushrooms, gnomes and fairies. Especially mushrooms, I have a few pieces from the 70's that are super kitschy!

Favorite Music

I cannot even begin with this category. I love, LOVE, music. Classical, Rock, Punk, Reggae, Country, Industrial, Hip-hop, Trip-hop, Motown, the list goes on. Even though I swore I would never listen to country, my Love has shown me the way, and it's pretty good!

Favorite Movies

I usually watch movies when I need something feel good and cutesy. Legend, The Dark Crystal, Juno, I love you, Man!, Rumblefish, The Outsiders, Anything with Marilyn Monroe, Pillow Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson, 10 Things I Hate About You, Coyote Ugly, Sin City, 300, Willow, Blue Crush, and Nightmare before Christmas

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, Photography, 'Sort of' Scrapbooking, Paper crafts, Mixed media collages, Redoing furniture, Upcycling, Sewing, Card making, Cooking (does that count?) Jewelry making, and the occasional windchime! I just like to keep my hands busy and I'll try anything once.

Can't get enough...

Jellyfish, Peacock anything, Purple, Turquoise, Orange, Blue, Books, Ephemera, Cookbooks, Snails, Mushrooms, Bats, Spiders and stickers. This section will probably change the most. Not really big on food items for myself, but I don't mind sending them. :o)

Comment: Thanks. And thanks for telling me how you made it, I was really wondering. I am a big fan of octopuses or is it octopi?
Response: You know, I have no idea. I like 'octpuses' because it's more fun to say. :o) I'm so glad you liked the ATC.
