I love trying all different types of crafts! I work a 9-5 but spend most of my free time on creative stuff. I paint, embroider, collage...I love to find new uses for old objects!

I think the octopus is a crazy cool animal, I have a red headed-long haired Chihuahua named Scully, I can be a total geek and I try to be socially conscious.

I don't wear necklaces and I am allergic to nickel so I only wear sensitive earrings.

Moby, Beth Orton, Feist, Soul Coughing, Say Anything, Cursive, Kristen Hersh, Morcheeba, Ani Difranco, Death Cab for Cutie, Nina Simone, Crystal Method, The Cure, Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, Kaskade, Jane Siberry, Yo La Tango, Portishead, Sugarcult, Sublime, Imogen Heap...and on and on

Donnie Darko, 5th Element, Brick, Eternal Sunshine, Run Lola Run, Pans Labyrinth, Hot Fuzz, The Haunting (1963 version), The Changling, Everything is Illuminated, The Devil's Backbone, Beerfest, What the #$*! Do We Know!?, Chocolat, Star Wars, The Dark Crystal, I Heart Huckabees, City of Lost Children

The Mighty Boosh is totally my favorite show, South Park, X-Files, The Daily Show with John Stewart, The Soup, Coupling, Bones, CSI, Travel Channel...HGTV...

Anything by Neil Gaiman, David Sedaris, Anne Rice, Harry Potter, Shel Silverstein, Haven Kimmel, Tom Robbins....I've been into memoirs and historical fiction lately

I love to reuse existing materials in a new way so that pretty much keeps me open to all different kinds of crafts. I've been "trying" to learn knitting for awhile...I'm keeping on it but I'm not very coordinated. I'm also trying to get better at sewing so far I'm just doing easy things like PJ's and pillow shams but I would like to expand on that. I like to paint, draw, take pictures, scrapbook, make cards, cross stitch, embroider all that stuff but I don't really do it the way other people do...I'm more eclectic with how I do things.

My favorite color is purple but I also love color combos like Lavender and/or lime green with Dark Brown or baby blue with brown. My kitchen has a lot of black and red. I love silver. Not too fond of yellow or orange or gold.
