I am a young crafter in Australia. I've only recently discovered the crafting bug - my mum has been waiting for me to get the 'sickness' for about 10 years now! I'm 24, living in Melbourne, finishing up my BA and then onto an education degree! I have a fiance in America (boo, long distance!) but am counting down the days until I see him late 2008.
At the moment I'm really enjoying making soft toys. One of my favourite mediums is felt, but I love any of the thicker woollen knits, but they're hard to obtain right own here in such a "hot" country! I'm also trying my hand at embroidery, and finding it challenging but enjoying.
I hope to meet lots of new crafting friends as I don't have anyone around me (besides my mum!) who's into crafts. I also loooove receiving mail, and what better way to receive than to give in return?! I love to give elaborate swaps so that opening the box is like the start of a journey, pulling out treasure after treasure.
CSI - the Las Vegas one, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Bones, Criminal Minds (anyone sense a theme here..?!), Ugly Betty, So You Think You Can Dance (I can't!).
Soft toys, bags, embroidery, quilting, charm making, hand-carving stamps.
Any kind of cute fabric! Cotton print, japanese, and especially wools - felt, knit, lambswool, flannel, etc. Cute buttons (vintage and new!), ribbons and fabric notions. Cute stationary, especially Japanese. Handmade stuffies / softies / soft toys. Anything handmade, really! I especially love cute stuff (although I know everyone's definition of cute is different!) I also really like getting new patterns or how-to's, even on crafts that I don't normally do myself. I'm also rapidly falling in love with craft magazines - we don't have a good selection down here so I'm eager to get my hands on as many as I can!
I'm not really picky! About the only things that are common here on swap-bot that I'm not interested in are dotee dolls. If you have an idea for me and aren't sure, just run it past me!
I really like earthy-tones more than vibrant shades. Greyed off colours more than baby-pastels.

You have been tagged by Gidgetclaws... you must now spread some Christmas cheer to complete strangers or a large potted plant will land on your head while you are asleep.
