Wife, mother of 1-adult son, I have a Westie named Winston. Artist, Crafter, Cook, computer geek in the beautiful state of Washington. I've lived in Washington all my life. But I love to travel!! My DH and I have been to the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland and lots of places in the United States. I really enjoy outdoor activities, walking, bicycling and gardening but mostly sitting out on the front porch reading and drinking tea (NO EARL GRAY UGH!)
Sewing, Quilting, Knitting, Crochet, Drawing, carving rubber stamps, pen and ink art, embriodery (mostly on felt)-- fav colors-natural tones, Spring colors pink, blue, yellow, lavendar etc, Jewel tones, emerald greens, sapphire blues no neons please.
I make felt food, Softies/Stuffies of animals and imaginary critters and robots, pin cushions and needle books are some of my newest obsessions!
I'm having a blast making Fabric Postcards and I always have time for ATCs. I have a box full of ATCs I've made. Okay so now I'm doing Matchboxes too! What am I gonna do??? so many crafts so little time!!
I'm open to one on one trades for ATCs or Fabric Postcards, soties and felt critters (set up as private swaps so both can be rated :)
Jack Johnson, Jimmy Buffet, Nickel Creek, Coffee House Jazz, ambiant nature music (meditation), Celtic music contemporary and traditional, folk music like Peter Paul and Mary etc.
Ink Heart-Cornelia Funke, Mary Russell series by Laurie R. King, Agatha Christy Miss Marple, English Mysteries, PD James, Ngaio Marsh, Mercedes Lackey
Anime--Spirited away, Princess Mononoke. Stop Motion--Nightmare Before Christmas, Wallace and Grommit, Chicken Run. Musicals--Brigadoon, Meet me in St. Louis, South Pacific, White Christmas, Mary Poppins, Chitty Chitty Bang, Bang, Chicago the musical, The Producers
favorite scents: Natural Lavendar, Vanilla, Cinnamon. No Perfumes--Sensitive to strong perfume scents headaches
Fav candy: really Dark chocolate, Hand Made Caramels, Smarties-(US sweet/tart candy disks)Not UK chocolate candy drops.Love Altoid Pepermints, Sour fruit balls, Sour Gummies, Malteasers (UK Malt balls! Oh YUM!) Chocolate/caramel Pretzels are a really great treat! Violet Crumble is a real treat as I can't get it very often around here in Southwest Washington.
I really enjoy a good cup of hot chocoate, mexican hot chocolate is yummy too! I LOVE Peet's coffee especially Major Dickason's in whole bean. English or Irish Breakfast tea in bags(PG Tips, Barry's Gold etc.)
I love to bake homemade breads, soft pretzles, pasteries, pies.
Really like cucumber melon bubble bath, hand lotions
I collect craft supplies-vintage buttons,small dominos, cool ribbons, rickrack all widths, charms, old opthmoligist lenses, bits and pieces that can be used on ATC or fabric Postcards.
I'm ALLERGIC to HAZELNUTS, FILBERTS, WALNUTS, and PECANS, also Strong Perfume Scents I don't use perfume. Cigarette Smoke is a really bad trigger for migraines and lung infections with me. Fabreeze is stinky and causes me migraine headaches.
