Libertunity

I am a recent Law school graduate who hopes to work in education, community art and social justice issues. I live in the pacific northwest and I love the rain. I am very happily married to a video game freak. My name is the product of a very hippie mother. I am not Japanese. I do like video games and have taken a liking to the Mario Brothers and Yoshi character because we share a name. I play video games when I have spare time, the tv is used almost exclusively for gaming, no cable, only pbs comes in, so I don't watch much TV.

I have always loved fabric art. I studied costume design. Recently I began making amigurumi which has been lots of fun. I like to do any kind of craft that involves fiber art.

My tastes are varied, although my favorite color is blue, I like almost all colors, muted and bright. I especially like unusual color combinations. I guess I don't really like pink unless it is combined with a muted drab color. I really like giraffes and monkeys, but I tend to crochet a lot of elephants and penguins (so maybe I really like these too). Lately I have been really into video game crafts, especially mario bros. Really anything, I like just about everything.

I LOVE COFFEE!!! and black tea. I could drink hot coffee or tea with milk and sugar all day and I often do.

I just moved into a new house and that needs some love. I am interested in useful items (my husband's paintings cover us for pure decoration). I am thinking about creating something like a hanging shoe rack for my toiletries maybe made out of a bunch of different materials. Any small baskets or pouches that could be hung on the wall would be awesome. I also love small pouches and baskets for keeping trinkets in.

For fabric and yarn crafts, I prefer machine-washable stuff. I am always happy to work with wools and other shrinking materials for others, but I tend to slosh coffee on everything within five feet of myself and therefore, most things need to go in the machine occasionally.

I would love some wooden, metal or heat resistant plastic ladle spoons or spatulas.

I am interested in doing some crafts with fimo or sculpey or other oven hardening clay. I would love some clay or other accessories that would be useful to starting this new craft.

I am starting to pack bento lunches for myself and my husband, so any nice quality bento stuff is always appreciated.

I have been making a lot of amigurumis lately and am always in search of more yarns. Small leftover balls are okay since my stuff tends to be pretty small. Fingerling or sock weight is what I am really in need of right now, but worsted is always appreciated.

I don't really like religious items (although I am not opposed to Buddhist or eastern religious relics).

I am not huge on holiday items (like 4th of July, Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.). I just don't really celebrate and have no use for things that just come out once a year.

I don't like hats. They make my head itch and I can never wear them for more than a few minutes.

I don't like things with brand names or logos on them. I try not to advertise for mass manufacturers of goods. I instead prefer handmade or plain (kinda funky looking is okay).

My husband loves video games (especially older ones), the Simpsons, Family Guy and The Lord of the Rings (he is named after one of the Hobbits, Peregrin Took, often called Pippin in LOTR). He is short and round, kind of shaped like a hobbit and I think he is adorable. His favorite color is green and he loves lounging around in comfy pajama pants and hooded sweatshirts.

For scarves, he would love something with a Mario Mushroom on it or a Slytherin scarf (from Harry Potter).
