Sewing bags and quilts and nick-nacks. i also like to knit and to crochet. i do like drawing, but i assume that no one will ever see an actual piece of art from me ;) i'm always looking for challenge and love to try something new!

i am addicted to fabrics, truely, but i try to reuse very much. as i wrote, i really love to recycle and i try to live green, so if you are recycling, you got me right away. i love bold and popping colors,but also b&w. pastells, bold prints and tiny flowers. if you like it, i like it too. but my favorite color so far is green in all its shades. i really like polka dots, gingham and madras. and i love shiny and sparkling things. i love action figures ( i own 2 lucha libre fighters, some transformers, mr T and a nasty boy (90s wrestler) ;). i like neutrals, well, there isn't much i dislike, but if i have to name a color i hate, than its BEIGE (or tan?). i have two sweet cats, and my favourite animal so far is a naked mole rat. but i like most of the animals ( that i know, maybe i am nerdy, but i like watching animal documentaries and my secret whish is to become a gamekeeper...) i think i am just not interested in amphibians... i love thriftshopping and i love ceramics. i love ZAKKA and i already tried my hand at sashiko embroidery.

i love love "6 feet under"! my favourite so far(but sadly i don't own it). i do like "californication" very much AND i love "star trek". i've got a thing for "ugly betty" too.
