Thimbled

My name is Orjana, am 23, born in the Netherlands, lived on the Isle of Lewis for a while, before moving to Glasgow to study sociology at university, which I loved. I live with my fiance Angus, Scratch the cat and some goldfishies. Check out Orjana.com, which is my little shop. It has just launched so I would love to know what you think! Sorry, shameless plug over!

I have been crafting for a couple of years now, and am by no means an expert, but my favourite practices include card making, rubber stamping, embroidery, knitting, fabric and felt craft, cross stitch, soap and bath bomb making. I would love to learn crochet and patchwork/quilting some time aswell.

Jane Austen, Adele Parks, Jane Green, Paulo Coelho, Anita Schreve, Alison Weir, Dan Brown, Micheal Crichton, Thea Beckman, Naomie Klein, Phillipa Gregory, Lionel Schriver, Jodi Picoult, Aldous Huxley, and the Ikea catalogue...

Battlestar Galactica, Prison Break, Desperate Housewives, Lost, Heroes, Terminator The Sarah Connor Chronicles, Still Game, Father Ted, Life, Alias, Torchwood, the Mentalist, Dollhouse.

I would love to swap crafty things/supplies such as buttons, ribbons, fabric, felt, papers, cards and stationary, all sorts of yarns and wool, and anything else crafty. At the moment I'm totally loving cupcakes, russian dolls, owls, birds, and everything else that is cute! I love bright colours, especially pink and turquoise, anything with glitter/sparkle, patterns, country kitchen style, and Cath Kidston type things.

I would also like to swap for Dutch things (because I am missing home!), chocolate and sweets from your country, tea bags, hot chocolate.

Reading, shopping, cinema, blogging, crafts, holidays, handbags, music, french martini's, sci-fi anything, bodyshop things, gardening (on my balcony), cooking, animals, beaches, baking, photography, wild flowers...

I don't like to be negative but I am not a fan of things like clowns, dolls, goth, pagan, Disney, coffee and liquorice type things, lip balm (I have too much already!). That's about it though!
