Itchy

Hello, I am Emily, a 33-y-o girl from Sweden! I love to create, both happy-mail and making paintings, I had a vernissage with my paintings last year, it went very well, I will have another vernissage in the future.

Right now I am very into painting with aquarelle and watercolors, and making faces with fine-liner pens. Right now I have a delirium with making deformed faces.(I will upload some pictures on flcikr of my paintings)

Also I am very into collecting stamps, so if you want to swap stamps with me I am very happy to do so. :)

I started to collect stamps because I inherited a whole collection with stamps from my dad. Unfortunately he passed away last year. The 19th of february is his brithday and also the day when I moved to my grouphome. So that day means a lot for me. Will go to the membrance garden and put a flower and a gravelight for him.

I live at a group-home, for people with mental issues. I have A-typical autism, and that makes my daily life more difficult. But I am coping, trying to find new strategies all the time.

I have much anxiety, but it´s getting better,

I have had a big break from swap-bot for a while, because of the vernissage, and I simply felt that I couldn´t be that creative anymore. I had too many swaps at the same time, but now I will have only two active swaps at the time, before I could have up to ten active swaps at the time, and I was so obsessed with getting many good ratings.

At my work, I totally overworked, and I was so exhausted that I totally broke down. But now I take it more chill, have also got some order among all my crafting things, before it was always chaos at my desk, but now it has changed to the better! :)

I work at a second-hand, where I organize among the hangers, Taking out old womens-clothes and vacuum-cleaning

I am also at a place called DV (traslated as daily work). And there I take breaks sometimes, painting for the vernissage, packing earplugs and laying puzzle (right now we have a super-hard puzzle with fish and they all look the same) Don´t think I will ever make it. So I have two jobs, but I am not at the second hand as much as before, since I got super-exhausted.

I have what I call nojjs, it´s like anxiety, but more advanced than that. Nothing bites on it, not even medication. It´s days when I can´t do anything, so I am trying to just stay in bed, listing to calm music, trying to put aside all the impressions, since my mind is very fragile when it comes to sounds and light. Can´t really do anything when I get nojji. But as I said, I am coping, it is getting better and better!

I love: Stickers, Bookmarks, Stamps, Patterned paper, Angels, ATC:S, Mailart, Candy (jelly-beans are my favorite), Tea (Black currant tea in my fav), Coffe powder (I am a big coffe-lover), Cats, Alice in wonderld, Fairies, Ephemera, Hot chocolate, Pinups, Coca Cola, Steam-punk, Second hand stuff, Video-games (especiallly horror-games), Butterflies, Kawaii, Hello KItty, Dandelions, (they are beautiful when they are all furry).

I love to clean my appartment to perfection, doing it tip-top.

I love to change cloths and designer stuff in my appartment, that´s something that I would love to do in the future, interior design. A dream would be to design a whole appartment with only second hand-stuff.

I love to shop second hand, it´s cheaper and better for the environment.:)

Yeah that was pretty much everything about me, I always send my swaps in time. Usually I contact the people that haven´t rated me, but if I haven´t please contact me and I will resend! :)
