About Me

I'm a mommy of one adorable baby boy, born feb 29th, 2008... (leap year baby!), the wife of a wonderful man, and a lover of crocheting! I sell my crocheted things on etsy.com. I love yarn, buttons, fashion, fashion magazines from other countries, funny baby hats, magazines, television, handmade things, photography, singing, graphic design, clothes, shopping, London, Paris, Rome, Barcelona. Seriously, I love London!! I lived there for a semester of college. It was amazing :) Shopping at Top Shop, River Island, and Accessorize... so fun.

My personality is fun and happy! I'm not into being too serious, so when you are thinking about what to send, know that I would appreciate funny things. :) As far as style... I love the Abercrombie & Fitch style, but also I love vintage and frou frou stuff. I also love Hot Topic. haha, I am such a contradiction.

Favorite Music

Country and pop mostly at the moment.

Favorite Books

Romance novels. I love Sophie Kinsella, she is so funny :) Also I recently got into the twilight series, and I love Meg Cabot and Marian Keyes.

Favorite Crafts

Crochet!!!!!!!! I have been crocheting since I was 8, and have 2 online stores :) I am learning to knit right now, but only started this February, so I am still a beginner. I also do some photography. I have a bunch of awesome photos I took while in Europe. I also love graphic design, which I have a bachelors degree in. I mostly do internet stuff like web site design and I make banners for people's sites. Recently I decided to make a scrapbook for my son, so we can add that to my list of crafts, too! I have a bunch of fancy tools for it, so I can make supplies for trade.

Favorite Movies

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, You've Got Mail, Waiting, Sleeping Beauty, Office Space, Mean Girls

Favorite Television

Oh my gosh I watch TV way too much!! I don't work right now because I have a baby I stay home with. Okay so... shows I like are: Americas next top model, The Bachelor, top design, bones, road rules/real world challenge, top chef, ugly betty, king of queens, its always sunny in Philadelphia, the office, project runway, privileged, lost, prison break, desperate housewives... thats enough!

Handmade things I can't make

but I'd like someone to make me:

-a handmade rubber stamp! Something really cutie like an owl or birdie or really anything that looks whimsical, swirly, cute or pretty. lol.

-pottery

-sewn things. I probably could sew if I tried, but I just dont have the time!

-candy. home made candy is awesome!

-leather. My dad makes leather things but for old cars. I like wallets, purses... whatever.

-knit things. yes, I crochet well, but I can't knit cool intricate stuff. So I'd love to own a knitted scarf, hat or something wearable. You can do so many cool things with knitting and I just suck at it! Maybe something cabled.

-I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of for now.

Yarn prefrences

I don't like itchy yarn!! No wool unless it's merino, BFL or some other very soft wool yarn. Not too into acrylic yarn unless its mixed with something amazing to make it really soft and awesome.

I love bamboo, silk, merino wool, banana silk, alpaca, anything else really cool that is SOFT. And of course I love hand spun or hand dyed/ painted yarns!!!!!

P.S. I only like SOFT yarn!! :)

I don't like

itchy things

useless trinkets that just sit there gathering dust (I don't have a large living space so there's really no where to put stuff, anyway) So Dotees and all that stuff is not something I'm into.

nuts(not allergic, just don't like)

coconut

neon

Sappy quotes. lol.

Stuff I NEED

-Polaroid Film (600)

-ink pad at least 3 inches wide (need black or pink, but would love other colors as well)

-fun stickers

-toddler stuff for size 2t boy

-yarn (obviously!! lol.)

-Supplies to knit fingerless gloves in the round or a hat (needles, stitch markers, etc), plus a tutorial (I'm just learning to knit!)

Comment: Hi, Rebecca... Thanks so much for sharing your vacation photos!! I love the "jumping in Vegas" shot..too bad it's in front of a Walgreens, but that kind of makes it even funnier, in a way... You have been to some great places!! You and your sister look so different! I would have guessed you were friends! (Hey, I'm adopted, so NO ONE in my family looks like me!!) Thanks again for sending..I really enjoyed seeing them!! --Your swap pal, Sandi--
Response: Haha, some people think my sis and I look so much alike, and others think we look nothing alike. Anyway, glad you liked the pics!!

Comment: My daughters absolutely LOVE the crocheted hats that you made for them. The cherries on the front of the hats are so cute. The girls have been wearing the hats around the house, outside...well, everywhere really...it seems. Thank you for the hard work and thoughtfulness that you put into this swap. *~ Ann ~*
Response: Awesome!! I was hoping they'd love the hats! I'm sure they look adorable in them!
