CURRENTLY (May 3, 2012)

California girl drowning in Louisiana! I don't get out much, not that there's anything to do here ;) I've been cooking a LOT, sewing, knitting, playing in my beads, painting my nails, and folding a lot of origami. We've been making beer & wine (and drinking it ;), and BBQing a lot.

Personally...

I'm a little punk rock, and a little Martha Stewart. I'm married to an Army soldier, 5 years this July! :) It seems I'm always in the car; I love to drive! I have a very twisted sense of humor; it is near-impossible to offend me (nudity/profanity is okay). I have guns, and enjoy recreational shooting. My desk is only for art & crafts; I love the freedom my laptop offers me. I bake a lot, for fun, and I cook a lot, in general.

Favorite Crafts

Nail art: I paint my nails daily (sometimes twice). I would loooove a nail stamping kit! I'm just starting to collect things like paint brushes, rhinestones, and other nail decorating stuffs.

I like to bake, and cook in general, and I am good at it; I make a lot of bread and cookies, and I love casseroles because I hate doing dishes! I send a lot of baked goods to my friends back home. I sometimes take appetizers into bars/restaurants where my friends work, and almost always get requests to cook for the place =S I am seriously considering going to culinary school right now.

I have been sewing since I was 4 years old. I make a lot of clothes and toys for my kids, and a LOT of purses/bags/totes.

I would love to get into needlefelting, but I don't have the $$ for it at the moment. Maybe next year! ;)

I make: Amigurumi; Softies; Jewelry; Purses & bags; Clothing; Hair barrettes & boutique bows; Felty pins; ATCs; Drawings; Paintings (acrylic & watercolor); T-Shirt reconstructions; Crochet; Collage; Hand embroidery; Hand-carved Rubber stamps; Origami; Inchies; Greeting cards; Zentangles, Pincushions; Drawings

I use: Origami paper; Buttons; Wire; Wool Felt; Quilting Cottons (FQs are my friend!); Jersey and Interlock; Beads; Sterling Silver; Ribbon; Fibers; Lace; Yarn; Cardstock; Vellum; Pilot Pens, Gel Pens, & Sharpies; Flower-head Pins; Embroidery Floss; Needles; Erasers, and eraser carving material; Stickers; Xacto knives

My Minions

I have two children, both born in March. My son is 12, and my daughter is 10.

Isaac likes: *colours green, grey, and red *building *robots *outer space *science *Legos *aircraft *paper airplanes *rubberband balls anything he can build

I also share my house with three kitties (Stormy, Halo, and Voodoo), and two snuggly pups, Johnny, and Walker. Johnny is a 70lb Golden Retriever/Yellow Lab, and Walker is a retarded short-coated Border Collie. Walker's first home was very mean to him - he is quite brain damaged, and afraid of just about everything, but still (obnoxiously) affectionate, lol.

Gimme Gimme (Wishlist)
