About Me

I'm a grandmother as well as a great-grandma. I have 2 kids of my own and 4 stepsons. I had a 5 yr old black cat that allowed me to live in the house with her. So black cats are cool with me. Especially if they have those glow in the dark, green eyes.

 wishlist gypsy's attic

I like the simple things in life. Love having my family around me. I can't keep up with the grandkids but I love having them around.

I've been crafting since I was young. Crochet, knit, gourds and whatever I get my hands on. But I also enjoy receiving handmade items, whatever your craft may be.

I want to let everyone know, I am a SMOKER, have been for a long time. If this offends a swap partner, PLEASE let ne know so I can make sure your swap item smells purty :) Thanks. Or contact the host of the swap so it can be straightened out quietly. Again, Thanks:)
Also if you do not receive from me, PLEASE message me before rating me. I always send and would never flake on anyone. If I am even a day late I will message you to let you know. Please offer the same courtasey to me. Thanks again.
I don't drink much tea, exception is iced tea in the summer. Love my coffee! Flavored or plain doesn't matter. I probably drink more than I should lol!
Had no idea ATC's were so popular until I joined Swap-Bot! I am slowly learning how to make them:D But I don't feel confident enough to swap them just yet! Paper crafts are the one thing I'm not real good at.
My husband and I were married on Halloween so I really love that holiday and decorating for it.

Favorite Music

Yanni, Willie Nelson, varies:) Have been known to listen to Kiss, Ozzy, Jovi and ACDC too :D

Favorite Movies

Anything with Robin Williams, Love the Genie in Aladdin;) Highlander series, both the Movies and the TV show. I also enjoy some of Stephen Kings stuff. Books and movies.

Favorite Television

Don't watch alot of TV, it's on mainly as background noise.:) What I do watch is, Charmed,ghost whisperer, craft & gardening shows on hgtv, Sylvia Browne, John Edwards

Favorite Crafts

crocheting and knitting need something to keep busy with. I like working with alot of diferent yarns. Use mostly acrylics though.

Don't really have a favorite color. If I had to chose I guess I would say greens. All shades. Blues were my husbands favorite so there are lots of that around my home, especially in my kitchen. I have alot of copper there too.

Been sewing since I was young, when my machine lets me. Sew diferent things. Being big I make alot of my clothes. Fabric and notions are always good for me. Solids and small prints are always nice. Cottons and flannels are what I use the most of. I use aprons for a lot of things so I like to make them. I really prefer full aprons but if a partner makes it half, that is great too:D

Gourds are cut and painted. They are fun to work with. Lots of shapes and sizes to pick. Small ones make cute Easter ornaments.

I have also discovered my House Fairy resently. She is a lovely person, great to talk to when I'm having a rough day. I will be paying more attention to her than in the past:)

Things I collect and enjoy!

Some of the things I collect and love are:

  1. Angels
  2. Yellow Roses,pictures, cards, anything with a rose on it
  3. Carosel Horse figures
  4. Wooden Boxes, especially from the garage:) the older and dirtier the better
  5. Anything that is Halloween related any time of the year! Fabrics in particular but also decorations.
  6. Candles of any kind and scent;)
  7. Love, anything Lavender scented
  8. Eeyore items too, yes still a little kid at heart :D
  9. Also crystals, incense, anything native american related I have started my own medicine wheel garden. So seeds are always welcome.

Seeds Wish List

Herbs in particular, but anything nice that will grow in zone 5 will work too. Like all flowers, some more than others. Especially if they have a nice fragrance to them. Also anything unusual:) Also, if I can't grow something outside, I usually plant them in pots to grow inside.

Favorite Quotes

'The hardest lesson in life to learn, which bridge to cross and which bridge to burn'

'He who angers you, controls you'

'Listen without defending and Speak with out offending'

My Grandkids:D

I have 2 grandkids that I do alot of things for. They are the youngest and closest to me:D The baby in this picture is my nieces' daughter Nakia. She is about 3 mo. in this picture.

First Anthony, he's 6 this year and loves, army guys, Shrek and Cars. Also, anything camo. He loves to color and create things with and for me.

Second, Trin: She's 7 and girly,girl. Loves, pink and purple, Princess, Hannah Montana, and Barbies. She's starting to learn to crochete, simple things right now. Also, she loves her computer.

Both of them play computer games,PS2 and all sorts of things. Hope this helps if I'm in a swap for them.

Comment: I'm sorry to be so late in rating.......I somehow missed that I overlooked this one. Technically, you sent regular quarter yards of fabric instead of the required fat quarters, which is why I delayed rating this swap, because I remember how excited you were in putting this package together. You also included more than the required amount of items, even though several items didn't meet the specified requirements. So that's why I can't give a heart, and that's why I delayed the rating. But I am rating a 5 because of your patience, and because I know you intended to sent a super terrific package. Thanks!
Response: Too bad you didn't let me know this is March when it was sent. Thanks for the rating.

Comment: Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I can't begin to describe the awesomeness of this package, let alone begin to picka favorite item. You are amazing! The candles smell wonderful, I left the box in my car for a few minutes and got to come back to a car smelling of clean linen. The pens are wonderful, I'd been needing new gel pens for awhile, and I couldn't contain my excitement when I saw the totebag and the journal you made. You do such amazing work. Again, thank you so much for everything!
Response: You are soooooo very welcome:D I had so much fun putting this together for you. I was a little worried at first but evrything "fell" together. I'm glad it arrived safely and made you smile. Thanks for the rating and heart.

Comment: I think my husband and I canoed on the river. Thanks for the card, Elaine
Response: You are very welcome. Canoeing is one of the big tourist attractions here. I have a branch of the main river that runs through my back yard. Gets a little noisey in the summer but, hey. It's nice here though. :D
