About Me

Hmm, about me... I hate these. I'm a 31 year old California girl, lived here all my life and sometimes I want to leave but most of the time I can't imagine actually doing it. I'm single, and at the moment the closest thing I have to a kid is my 9 year old feline furbaby. I do several kinds of embroidery, I scrapbook and do a few other crafty things with various levels of skill. I love hockey, especially the San Jose Sharks, and eventually will learn to play if my friends have anything to say about it.

I love color- pink, chocolate brown, lime green and any combination thereof. I love goldenrod and maroon and deep blue. Fall colors are probably my favorite "color family".

I love the magic of the Christmas season, hate the commercialization. I am staunchly "No Christmas Before Thanksgiving" with very few exceptions. I love the lights and the music and the countdown to Christmas, but I think I prefer Christmas Eve to Christmas Day for the whole "magic" of it all. I'm Christian, so I'm into the whole "Birth of the Savior" aspect of Christmas, but I'm not obnoxious about it. I have my beliefs and I respect that others have theirs.

My swap ratings will be built slowly. I think swapping is fun but I don't have a lot of time for it so I will always choose my swaps carefully so as not to "bite off more than I can chew", so to speak.

Favorite Crafts

I can sew, but I prefer smaller hand projects to fussy machine sewing requiring lots of careful piecing. That said, I also quilt, mostly baby quilts, though I've been working on a quilt for my bed for the last 9 years (I'm crazy and quilting it by hand, and keep putting it down for long periods.

I do several kinds of embroidery- cross stitch, blackwork, and surface embroidery (which encompasses to many techniques to list here) My mom taught me to cross stitch as a way to get me to sit still when I was little, and I've branched out from there, and do very little cross stitch anymore. -Scrapbooking

Favorite Television

Friends, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Project Runway, pretty much any "Top 100 ________" on VH1

Favorite Books

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield. Seriously one of the best books I have ever read. I also like just about anything from Torey Hayden and Mercedes Lackey. And the Harry Potter books, of course...

Comment: Judy - Thank you so much for the nice package. I'm very sorry the first package went AWOL. I've only ever had one thing (that I know of) go awry and that was something I bought on Etsy. I'm sure someone the package monsters enjoyed it, especially if it had the same kinds of goodies :) The yarn is my favorite item of all, so thank you VERY much. I'll let you know if the other package ever materializes (though I'm guessing that's unlikely, since it's been 6 weeks!)

Comment: Very cool design on the CD's and the tunes were great- and the hockey songs were an added bonus! (Thanks for the note - too many swaps to remember everything at all times- hope you're feeling better - food poisoning it about my second least favourite thing next to a monster cold/flu, and it's almost as brutal - kill the chef! ) Thanks again!

Response: I'm glad you liked it all. The address labels are from Vistaprint. They match some cards I had made for a project I'm involved in.

Comment: What a super awesome package. I love beeswax candles and music! You rock. The note cards of relaxing tips are so cool-they will definately come in handy.
Response: I'm glad you liked it. I hope that with all you have going on, that what I sent helps you relax. I love beeswax candles because while they have a smell to them, they're not overpowering at all.
