Marlena

I am 42 and married with kids (16, 14, 13, 3).

I knit and crochet. I am learning how do crazy quilting too. I also collect interesting buttons and beads and fabrics. I have just recently started making things from recycled wool from sweaters and wool suits mostly.

Being from Vermont, almost everything I make is Wool...Cotton for the summertime though.

I love earth tones. Especially when paired with not so earthy tones like orange, pink, or turquoise.

Amy Butler & Michael Miller fabrics are some of my favorites.

I have long hair that I pull back quite often and I love cool barrettes (3 inch or so), especially hand made ones.

For fun...Anything Superman/Justice League!!

We just bought a new house that is decorated in TOTAL 70's Style (shag carpet and lots of orange). I think there is remodeling in my future ;)

I have discovered Dotee Dolls here on Swap-Bot. I have seen so many very cool ones made by swap-bot members. Wow!! I just love them and hope to participate in more dotee swaps as time permits.

Did I say I love handmade items...if you have a special craft don't hesitate to share it with me :)
