About Me

I am a 38 year old married mother to two young boys aged 4 and 7 years. I live in Germany's capital city Berlin and love to work with paint and fabric. I love to work with my airbrush and my second love is my old (1927) Singer treadle sewing machine. I like everything with girlie/punk style skulls and crossbones. I just had to admit this when I looked in my closet for clothes this morning.

Favorite Music

I do like all sorts of music, but mostly a little gothic touched like the Sisters of Mercy, Within Temptation or Nightwish. Fun Punk like The Toy Dolls or Die Ärzte or Die Toten Hosen.

Favorite Books

I just devour books with fantasy or historic background. And biographical books count to my favourites too.

Favorite Crafts

Oh, where should I begin: I do my childrens photoalbums in scrapbook style, am knitting and cross-stitching. Sew on my Singer and of course do custum portraits with my airbrush pistols. My Easter present was a new more portable compressor, thank you Easterbunny. I use Schminke Airbrush Color with my pistols which I find to be the best. I own a Gabbert and a Rich Pen. I make and collect ATCs and just discovered the joy of Mail Art.

Wishlist

If you plan on sending extras (what you don't have to): please read below.

There is one thing I would lik

My family and I spent our last vacation in the USA and I found out that you have huge craft stores. Amazing! The clear stamps from the 1 Dollar bin were great, I took a few home with me. If you are thinking on sending extras, anything not girly, flowery would be a great addition to the few stamps I already have.

Comment: Sylvia: Love the fabric. Thanks so much for such great choices! I'm doing this swap because I do not have a lot of any fabric other than large Kaleidoscope type fabrics. You chose wisely! Really loved getting fabrics from you since you are in Germany. My best friend is from Bonn (now lives in Australia, used to live across the street for 13 years here in the states).

Comment: The fabric was right for me, I love the fruit & vegetables, purple is always good and I can't live without green! It is an ego color, and I can always use a good boost there. Thank You for the beautiful note, writing has always been one of my main loves. Either writing to or receiving from. You have made this a very special swap!

Comment: OMG! I arrived today and I LOVE it! Thanks for resending, so sorry the other one went astray (not surprising really considering the holidays and all), it sounded really cool too! You are awesome and I can't wait to add this one to my binder! :-)
Response: I am glad it finally arrived, I had posted it way before Christmas. Perhaps the other one will find its way to you too somewhen =)
