About Me

I am a mom, witch, writer, sometime English teacher.
I really enjoy cities and wilderness, color and sound.

Favorite Music

No favorite music. I like everything but not really into hip hop or over-produced country. Intrigued by dance music from India, don't know what you call it . . . clever lyrics tickle me. Odd or catchy tunes welcome. Great singers, intricate rhythms. Some fave artists: Loom, Rural Alberta Advantage, Alice Cooper, Nortec Collective, Lili Hayden.

Favorite colors

Red, turquoise, black, emerald green, French blue, slate, buttery yellow . . . ivory

Favorite Crafts

I am currently obsessed with knitting, especially socks. I use natural fibers unless someone I am knitting for specifically requests something else. Currently on the needles: Aguona Laptop Sleeve, Bubbly Curtain in gold linen, faceted rib socks in 2DI4 desert sun . . .

Favorite Movies

Thrillers, indies, documentaries, almost ,anything with Johnny Depp, though I couldn't stand The Dead. Pretentious Films make me run away. Was The Piano a comedy? Last great movie I saw: Slumdog Millionaire. Favorite TV shows: Big Bang Theory, Medium, Good Eats.

I don't love cute things.

I don't love cute things. I now have a dog! Ricky Rosket Dog! Italian greyhound/rat terrier mix. I still don't care for cute doggie doodads, though I'm searching for the perfect ssweater pattern. I don't have many knickknacks or other purely decorative items around my house. I do love beautiful, unusual and simple things that have a function. You can never have too many candles.

Favorite Things

Knitting tools like needles and markers, natural fiber yarn, painty pens, nice paper, dark chocolate, chiles, unusual magazines for collage, pin cushions, tape measures, beads, spices, rices . . . whatever smacks of The Place where you live . . . peacocks, spiders, owls, snakes, bats, bees.

Favorite Gifts to Give

Organic dark chocolate with chiles or herbs, CD mixes, custom blend oils, collage art, beeswax candles, massage bars from LUSH, handknit socks, handmade bags, chocolate bomb cake, bath salts.

Last Good Book I Read

I Know This Much is True by Wally Lamb

Wish List

Rowan Kidsilk haze, Mountain Colors Winter Lace, Panda Silk, Malabrigo sock yarn, beeswax or soy scented candles, handmade bath and body products, unusual honey . . . black paper suitable for gel pen use.

Comment: I love my witch ball. the yarn is gorgeous, now I will have to find something to make out of it. :) and I couldn't wait to do that and re-wrapped the yarn. I love all the little surprises. The g-string is awesome, I need that pattern please. I do have one question, what is witch love honey used for. It smells phenomenal. Thank you so very very much. Sandy
Response: Oh, I'm glad you like everything. I made the g-string pattern up. I'll see if I can remember it. I had already started it when I read your color preferences! You could also get some orange satin ribbon and change it when you feel really vibrant. The Witch's Love Honey is a love potion. Have it in tea, on ice cream or dribble it on someone :) Happy Beltane!

Comment: Thanks so much for the great package! Next time you and hubby are in KC, drop me a line, maybe we can all meet for BBQ?!!?!!
Response: Yes, let's. I've been to Jack Stack . . . er Jack Black ... Jack Mack. Something like that. But I hear the smaller local chain is really good and I saw a wild place I want to try on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. Love your city! Glad you are enjoying your yarn ball and bricks.

Comment: I LOVED your aprons! i cant believe you sent 3! AND the pattern! i have been wanting to get an apron pattern how did you know!?!?! Thank you so much they were fabulous! i even posted about them on my blog! thanks again you went above and beyond!
Response: Glad you enjoyed your package.I've had the paettern and didn't use it but thought it was very cute. I also got a wonderful package, so I'll probably join the new swap. Great job on this one!

Comment: I want you to know that your package meant so much to me. The oil is beyond perfect and will be used this evening <3 The soap and candle are very special as well. I can't wait to put them to good use, thank you!!
Response: Sage, I'm so glad you liked the oil. It was a challenging astrological profile to match, but I followed my intuition. And I looked back at your profile and doubly appreciate your sweetness regarding the candle. Glad nothing melted. My Granny Mae was from your Georgia. . .

Comment: These are my new favorite socks...and that's saying a lot, I have over 30 pair! I love, love, love them and I'm wearing them right now. I can't gush enough on how I love them. Thank you so much!!!! What next? :-)
Response: I'm flattered that you like them so much. I guess they fit OK? And you don't mind fraternal socks?

Comment: You had me with the address label on the package! :) This is truly a wonderful water-tiger package. The time and effort (the mix CD!) are truly appreciated. And that finger puppet is just too much fun. Thank you for everything.
Response: I'm so glad you liked it. You are welcome. I got an education in 60s pop culture making that CD, and it was truly tough to choose songs. Did I tell you my dad had a stock car named "Green Onions" after that song?

Comment: Eww! Yes! You got it right. This IS ugly YARN! It looks like the stuff I sent away in my FIRST Ugly yarn swap. I think if we do these long enough, some of us will probably get their old yarn back! Thanks for the package. I've just NEVER known what to do with ribbon-like yarn.
Response: Sorry bout that . . . some people make scarves out of ribbon yarn, I guess. Feel free to pass on . . . better luck next time.

Comment: This is the same pattern I sent my partner--I love it! :-) The yarn is GORGEOUS, too. Thanks a bunch (that means 5+!!!).
Response: Oh, too bad, since you can print them more than once! I'm glad you like the yarn. I haven't tried that one yet, but the name is so tantalizing.

Comment: Holy Cats! I loved this package! The book is totally terrific and I can't wait to use the bath thingie. You are the best!
Response: There is a story behind that book . . . it came with a mate that I am reading now. Look for a message with the story. The bath bomb crumbles into your bath and leaves quite a fairy ring!

Comment: This is not ugly yarn! I love the colors! Perfect for summer! I am trying to learn to make house socks and am excited over the oranges and pinks you sent! Thanks so much!
Response: Well, there you go! It's all about color, isn't it? I love looking at those colors but can't wear them. Enjoy!

I received the gorgeous gold bag you made/sent and I am overwhelmed! I will have to think of a special use for it. Thank you SO much! It is much appreciated. Sparkly, shiny, wonderfulness in the mail on a gray, dreary, rainy evening is something to celebrate!
oreon on Nov 26, 2008:

I received the teas yesterday! Thanks so much. I am glad that you are back! I've missed you. Wanna do a private swap after the Holidays?
kthanxbye on Jul 16, 2008:

thanx for the goodies. i got them yesterday!
Dawneca on Jun 26, 2008:

Helping make someone's day a bit more colorful is why I swap. Glad you liked it, Manxkity!
manxkity on Jun 26, 2008:

Dawn - I had one of those days were you forget your lunch AND your handbag at home... So I was absolutely tickled purple to get the OMG wonderful box for our swap. You are very generous. thanks so much! huggles
oreon on Apr 23, 2008:

Sure. Or if you'd like to do a different swap that would be cool, too. :-) Or we could make a grab-bag swap...whatever you feel like creating @ the time and sending it....We could also have a long send by date b/c in the summer lives get mush crazier(at least mine does)Let me know:-)
Dawneca on Apr 20, 2008:

Hmmm. I have heard of morsbags. Don't know yet if my sewing machine works. I need to think on it.

oreon on Apr 20, 2008:

I am trying to become plastic bagless as well. Have you heard of morsbags?I made one and it was great! Do you want to have the next swap between us be for a bag? Not necessarily sewn, but whatever your medium of choice?
Dawneca on Apr 20, 2008:

Yes, I do. I'm thinking of making some new ones. I want to be plastic bagless. I've actually been working on knitting plastic bags into a tote for way too long. It is tedious and sticky. but yes.
