About Me

I am 40 years old, married, mother to two young boys aged 6 and 9 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.

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: Hurray it finally arrived! Grandson, Ashton says they are cool - he likes the Star Wars one and already has it in his Smash Book. Ethan will be here for a visit on the 15th - will let you know what he says. Please thank Arlen for the note and the ATC's - very nice art work
Response: I am so relieved that it finally arrived. Kilian learned how to fold the Origami house in School and Arlen is really into StarWars Trading Cards at the Moment. I am glad your grandson liked his Card.

Comment: The monster in his ugly sweater is amazingly cute. He's got kind of an old world feel to him that I love. Thanks so much for the card!

Comment: Sylvia, the envie is beautiful! Thank you! All the raised dots create a very cool effect. It reminds me of one of my great grandmother's tea sets. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Response: I had feared that the paint stays sticky. The postoffice needed to stick an airmail label and they put it in the left upper corner because there was so much free space. I had them take it off again, because of the "strangely specific" rules :-)
