MissAvery

I'm a mom, jewelry designer, craft supply hoarder, food lover, beach comber, and listmaker.

Jewelrymaking is my favorite craft outlet. I've recently gotten into some paper projects as I attempt to create scrapbooks for my kids. I have tried my hand at sewing and enjoy it as long as I'm not making wearables (other than fun aprons which I think you can never have enough of). I love adding buttons, yoyos, and pleating to as much as possible. :) I'm hoping to make a couple frame purses for myself soon and once I've lost the weight, try my hand again at making dresses.

Stuff with a strong beat if I'm trying to get work done. Lately, I've listened to Amy Winehouse and Common the most.

I love...

paisley - gray, aqua, turquoise, coral, white, violet - abstract paintings - pottery - pouches/bags/purses - fabric covered magnets - pushpins - handmade soaps and sugar scrubs - lockets - vintage beads and metal findings (in usable shape :) - photographs of people in other places around the world - notebooks/pads (especially handmade!) - colorful pens - aprons (full and half) - lipgloss - some shabby chic - modern fabrics - frame purses - cuff and bangle bracelets - wallflowers (B&BW)

Not a big fan of: kawaii (did I spell that right?)

stuffed animals and kid goodies (unless I'm in a kid stuff swap, of course)

country or primitive folk

lotions and sprays

The Bell Jar Robber Bride and oodles of magazines!

The Pianist stands out. I'm not the type of person to watch a movie more than once, but I could probably watch that one a dozen times.
