I'm a married queer librarian.

I live with my wife, 2 cats and 5 hamsters (Syrians and robos). We live in New England.

Things that are important to me: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Anti White Supremacy, Black Lives Matter, Trans Rights are Human Rights, and Women's Rights. Also trans women ARE real women.

I've decided that I want to create a Frankendeck of playing cards since I've seen other folks doing that and it sounds really fun!

If you're looking for an extra to tuck into a swap this would be a great one.

I'm just starting so I need almost all of them!

Hearts: 3 4 5 7 8 10 J K

Clubs: A 5 7 Q K

Spades: 4 6 7 8 9 10 J Q

Diamonds: 4 5 6 J Q K

I knit, crochet, weave, and spin yarns. I knit a lot of socks and hats, mostly crochet amigurumi, and I'm a baby weaver. If you're sending yarn, I love fingering weight yarn, wool and wool blends please. I'd prefer not to get acrylics.

In quilting I love to make mini quilts for wall hangings. I love bright colors and modern prints. Favorite designer is Alison Glass and I love her sunprint series.

I do bullet journaling so I love things like washi tape, fun pens, stamps, and stationery items.

I like to water color and especially have gotten into making ATCs because they are the perfect tiny canvas.

I'm a dabbler in embroidery, cross stitch, patch making, ang rug hooking.

Beads are great! Fat quarters rock! Fabric remnants in neat colors are sweet :)

Other Misc Hobbies: zine making and trading, hamsters, cats, geocaching, bike riding, video games, baking, cooking, reading queer romance novels, webcomics, reading tarot and collecting tarot cards, hiking, collecting postcards

Rainbow themed things, hamster toys, pin cushions, fabric (scraps are fun, anything 2 inches or bigger I can use), washi tape, post cards with fun stamps, wonky star quilt blocks with white/low volume/white reading backgrounds, tea (no mint or licorice, please), queer liberation themed things, loose tarot cards, oracle deck cards

Stars, moons, rainbows, witches, knitting, quilting, sewing, hamsters, cats, dragons/dinosaurs, mythical creatures, tarot, quilt blocks (especially stars), dragon age (my favorite character is Dorian), splatoon, sky: children of light, animal crossing, tetris, legend of zelda, pokemon, cupcakes, Assassins Creed Valhalla, untitled goose game, jellyfish, mandalas, crystals, plants, cute animals

My favorite colors are blue and rainbow. I love bold bright colors and modern prints. I'm not a fan of pastels or old style florals. I avoid mustardy yellow, burnt orange, olive green, and browns.

I love all things with sparkle and glitter.

Favorite Candy: Fruit flavored things - Starburst, regular and sour skittles, gummi bears, sweet tarts, spree, strawberry/fruit Mentos

I love teas, hot or iced, favorites are fruity teas and cinnamon ones. No mint or licorice flavors. No Coffee, please.

I love dark chocolate with nuts and/or fruit. Nothing banana or watermelon.

I'm a witch/pagan, so please don't send me Christian items, I just don't have any use for them and I'm sure someone else would enjoy them.

Please don't send me anything that smells of cigarette smoke, I have asthma and it triggers it.

We are a vegetarian house so no meat products please. Honey/eggs/ that kind of thing is okay.

I love oddball post cards. Not a huge fan of the touristy general area kind. Themes I would love: nerdy geeky outer space constellations fantasy queer themed gems quilting/knitting/yarn bookstores books water color painting art bright colors art supplies cats witches tea cakes baking rainbows underwater fairy tale folklore hamsters

I am a self identified and self initiated witch. I consider myself an eclectic witch. I am interested in mysticism, kitchen witchery, textile crafting, herbs, candles, and intuitive practices. I read tarot, drink so much tea, and work with rainbows. I am interested in Norse runes (fuck white supremacy and those who have co-opted runes to serve their racist bullshit), Greek pantheon, solitary practice, rituals, and chaos magic.

Plant Allies: lavender, cedar, citrus. Herb and spice allies: cinnamon, hot peppers Power colors: blue, purple, teal Animal allies: cats, hawks
