My Flickr ID is basketblessed I live in Northern NJ, but am originally from Rochester, NY (West Irondequoit to be exact). I enjoy all crafts, especially needlework. For crafting I love glitter & girly things...vintage, retro & kitsch, bright, happy colors. I work 30 hrs a week as an ABA Therapist. Every year I enjoy vacationing on beautiful Cape Cod with my extended family & my dream would be to move to the Outer Cape. My free time is usually spent either reading or stitching (while watching flosstube).

Soft rock (older Sting, Dave Matthews, Los Lonely Boys...like that), oldies rock (70s & 80s)

Wizard of Oz, Guys & Dolls, Star Wars trilogy, Indian in the Cupboard, The Godfather, Mary Poppins, The Longest Day...

Murder She Wrote, Law & Order, crafty shows on DIY, How It's Made, Unwrapped, Ned's Declassified, Scrubs...?

currently cross-stitching & small handstitching projects, like punch needle, little felt objects, & vintage enbroidery patterns...lots of yo-yos & hexies I love ALL needlecrafts (except needlepoint - never learned that)...I never got into rubberstamping or scrapbooking either as I was lucky enough to avoid those addictions ;P I plan to start doing some patchwork projects using retro 30s-50s fabrics. I collect ALOT of craft paraphenalia & craft magazines...somebody stop me! Would love buttons, cross-stitch linens & floss, and/or cotton fat qtrs as swap ideas for me. TY.
