About Me

I'm a stay at home mom for my 3 year old daughter and another wee one on the way. I'm a crazy bird lady. If I'm not hanging out with my birdies or crafting at night then I'm reading about birds. I'm slightly obsessed I suppose. I like all sorts of crafty things and I'm always looking for projects I can work on with my daughter. I bake, sew, cross-stitch, paint, and bookcraft.

I haven't mastered any sort of art yet as I'm constantly changing my mind on what I'm interested in. That being said, most of the things I make are far from perfect. I'll still be making the majority of things I send out though. Please let me know if what I've sent you is definitely not up to par for you and I'll try to send you something better!

I swear like a sailor when I'm working on projects and I can guarantee a fair amount of f-bombs will be going into anything that I make for these swaps. Sorry in advance for your swear tainted gifts.

I'm always up for a private swap. I mostly enjoy making ATCs in strange themes but I do other sorts of swaps too so send me a message if you're interested.

My hero is Mr. Bean.

Likes

  • I'm a big fan of anything handmade even if it turns out looking not so great.
  • Paisley. I've been decorating my house with any tasteful paisley that I can find.
  • Owls. Fabrics, ceramics, paintings, anything!
  • Miniature boxes to keep all of my mini treasures in.
  • Any miniatures for that matter.
  • Robots.
  • Dinosaurs.
  • Monsters
  • ATCs
  • Simple dress patterns.
  • 1950's dresses.
  • Aprons.
  • Blanket forts.
  • Handmade jewelry.
  • Goofy things like big fake noses and mustaches.
  • Inappropriate jokes.
  • Moogles! I freakin adore moogles. Especially the ones from FF9.
  • Any bits and pieces of things that I can use for crafty nonsense.
  • Baby stuff since I'm pregnant. Still don't know what I'm having so unisex stuff is good. I'll update when I find out.

Dislikes

  • I don't like cake so if I'm in a recipe swap that's one to avoid.
  • Roses.
  • Religious items or verses.
  • Spongebob.
  • Clowns. Please don't send me anything depicting clowns. I'll end up throwing it out and burning my trashcan. :/

Favorite Music

The Residents are my absolute favorite. I also like Mr. Bungle, Man Man, and Gogol Bordello. Mostly experimental and avant garde I suppose.

Favorite Television

Comedy Bang Bang, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, plenty of Adult Swim cartoons.

My husband and I like to watch "reality" stuff like Cake Boss because we're jerks and we like making fun of people from the safety of our living room.

Favorite Books

I haven't read much since my daughter was born but I used to love fantasy novels. Garth Nix was my favorite! Actually, if you've read the Abhorsen Trilogy and you're looking for ideas on what to send me, I would LOVE anything inspired by those books.

Things My Hubby Likes

  • Goats
  • Longmont Potion Castle references (if you don't know what Longmont Potion Castle is and you have an offbeat sense of humor you should look it up on youtube.)
  • Reggie Watts
  • He loves cute things and he loses his man card whenever he's presented with anything soft, adorable, sweet, or huggable.
  • King of the Hill
  • Perfect Hair Forever
  • Christopher Hitchens
  • Richard Dawkins
  • Neil Degrasse Tyson
  • He loves making music and he appreciates any sort of instrument. You could give the man a kazoo and he'd use it constantly.
  • Sweets and Snacks especially foreign ones.
  • Things he can use for art. (Pastels, Pens, Sharpies, Crayons, Pencils, etc.)

Things My Daughter Likes

  • Stickers
