I love the creative process overall. I learned it all from my mom.

I have a feisty little chihuahua named Sweetie and a gorgeous black cat (with yellow eyes) named Claudia.

Crafting in all of its forms is very therapeutic and relaxing to me. Hours can go by and I don't even notice. My mind is always on overdrive because I'm thinking of what to make next or how to create something with a raw material... I have a fairly good collection of ideas in my head that I need to put down on paper before new ideas replace them.......oh there's another project in and of itself! lol

I like varied kinds of music. From rock such as My Chemical Romance or Evanescence to music by the late Celia Cruz.

A good mystery, ohhhh do I love a good intrigue!!!

Oh yes, and reading books on sewing and general crafting. :)

Sewing, embroidery, photography, journaling, quilting, designing clothes, doodling (oh wait, that's not a craft is it? lol).

I can knit and crochet, but I want to get better at both :)

I'm also learning to paint so that's something I'm super excited about. :)

I play the piano and I was into singing classical music, now I just sing music by Evanescence (the range is awesome). I bellydanced a few years ago too, I told you I just love the creative process. :):):)

I like watching home improvement shows, court tv or investigative shows and drama filled movies. Oh yeah, and that show clean house, I can't believe that some people live like that, it's crazy! :)

Italy, Spain, Japan, Russia.

Black (I'm such a goth at heart lol), White, sapphire blue (and most blues), silver, green (except neon, yuck!). I like purple too, either a pastel purple or a gem purple, they're pretty to me. :)

No yellow, or red please.

The smell of smoke (I'm allergic to it)

Spiders, roaches, sharks, they're nasty and the shark is just scary.

Rude people, road rage, shopping last minute. lol

Neon colors

I have an appreciation for handmade things. And so if I'm fortunate enough to receive a handmade item, I'll cherish it dearly, because I know how much work goes into making it.
