Mojo

I have suffered from depression for years and it has hit me very hard recently, I'm having a very hard time settling in at uni. I'm getting all my swaps done but, because of my depression and social anxiety, I'm finding it hard to get to the post office. I'm sorry if things are late, I will let you know and I will get them out to you as soon as possible!

I'm Jenny and I live just outside London, England when I'm at home, and in Leicester, England during term time. I've just started my Biological Sciences degree at the University of Leicester and so far I'm loving it!

I love to dance, especially ballet!! It's so much fun and so beautiful, I love everything to do with it! I also love to write, I've been writing a diary since I was 13 and I also write stories and poems and things when I have the time and the inspiration! I've really enjoyed some recent journal swaps I've joined!

Please do not send me:

• Make up/skin products
• Jewellery (unless it's gold or silver - I'm allergic to other metals)
• Anything related to fish

Favourite colours: Pink, Purple, Turquoise blue/green.

Favourite time of day: twilight/sunset

Favourite time of year: autumn

Favourite animal: cats, penguins and dragons

My Quilt Project

I am hoping to make a quilt like this one (pic right at the bottom of the page) so if anyone has any scraps of yarn left in any colours at all I'd love them! Each yoyo only needs about 10 feet of yarn so any ends you have lying around would be GREATLY appeciated! If you have lots of scraps, let me know and we can set up a trade!!

Pretty much anything indie/pop/rock... I'm not fussed, some classical is good too, because its great to do ballet to!

My Favourite artist of all time is Ben Folds

• Collages
• Drawing and painting

I don't think there's much I can do for the environment because I don't drive and I live at home so a lot of it is not under my control, so all I can do is to make sure that I always turn out lights and recycle everything I can! I always re-use bubble envelopes, as you can't easily recycle them and they're usually perfectly good for using a second (third or fourth!) time - so don't be offended if you receive a second-hand envelope!!

Well I've seen a lot of people have these so I decided to add one!

• Anything Invader Zim! I love Invader Zim but we don't get anything here in the UK!
• Anything Totoro or Studio Ghibli
• anything to do with ballet
• yarn to make amigurumi
• crochet stich markers
• scraps of yarn (at least 10ft) to make my quilt!

Olivier Blanc - I recently discovered Olivier Blanc, I saw some greetings cards with his work on and LOVED it, so I am currently making some ATCs altering his work, and some inspired by his work!

This is an ATC I made altering his work!
