About Me

I am a 36 year old married mother to two young boys aged 2,5 and 5 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), then scrapbook ribbons would be nice. They are very hard to get here.

There is one thing I would lik

My husband and I are Simpson fans (as you might tell from my avatar). Todays newspaper had an article about an american 44ct stamp being issued with Homer Simpson on it. My husband would be thrilled if he could get one (used or unused).
