About Me

I am a Domestic Engineer :-) with a wonderful hubby and 18 and 20 year old sons.

Favorite Crafts

My favorite hobby at this time is quilting and I have 3 quilts on the go at this time.

I've also crocheted for over 35 years and I like to dabble in wood working (yeah for scroll saws), tole painting, general sewing and some cross stitch.

Likes

I like color! The brighter, the better! But I also like dark green, dark blue and dark purple.

I have themes in my house for each season. Spring - tulips, Summer - summer flowers, Fall - sunflowers and scarecrows, Winter - snowmen. I need to add to spring, summer but have more snowmen than I know what to do with.

I like original art, especially if it falls within one of my themes.

Handmade Christmas ornaments but nothing with santa on it.

I like camping, riding my motorcycle and being with my family.

Dislikes

I can't stand the color mint green!!

I don't like shiny, slippery material.

I don't wear much jewelry so please don't send me any :-)

I abhor profanity or anything that's not family friendly!

We don't use santa in our Christmas celebrations so nothing with him on it, please.

Items I'd like to receive

Thread in any color, quilting pins (safety pins that have a bend in them), a fun thimble,

Cotton FQ's or larger (especially if it has food on it other than fruit or veggies (I have enough of them) or fabric with puzzle pieces) You can check my wists for other fabrics I like.

Please don't send me any embroidery thread as I have more than I can use now.

My hubby collects hot sauce so if you'd like to include a bottle of that, it would be so appreciated. He doesn't use them, just collects them so we are always looking for funny names (that don't contain any swear words) or funny pictures (that don't contain nudity)

Handmade Christmas ornaments (if someone would send me a painted lightbulb that looks like a snowman I would love it and you'd definitely get a heart in your feedback)

Sweets

I LOVE gum (especially sugar free) and some of the best I've had has been from non-North American countries. If you are partnered with me and want to send an extra special package, just throw in a couple packages of gum :-) The stranger the flavor, the better. The best I've had so far was black licorice menthol.

I like: chewy rather than hard, sour candy, licorice chalk, red and black licorice and mint leaves.

I'm allergic to chocolate, coffee and tea

Homerof2: I have known for years that there are many wonderful people in this world, and a lot of them are right here on Swap-bot. Your kind and generous offer to join a group of special angels --- helping me to make and send a total of 210 handmade ornaments for those who were flaked on in the MEGA Christmas 2009 Ornament Swap --- is VERY much appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If I can ever do anything to help you out in return, please let me know. (“;) Hugs, Terry
