I have a little girl and a little boy. They're very cute.
I like to listen to CBC and Radio 2. I read as much as I can. Mostly fiction - anything from classics, poetry, chick lit, YA fiction, mysteries, some science fiction.
I love poetry and quotes and have interests in languages and linguistics and etymology. I'm a letter writer. I like maps and traveling, which I wish I could do more often.
I like hiking, camping and being near water and trees. I like food and growing my own veggies and baking. I drink coffee. And tea, especially loose leaf green varieties.
I'd like to become a proficient crafter... Any tips to help me along the way are welcome and appreciated.
Lately: Stars, Sufijan Steven, A Northern Chorus, Simon & Garfunkle, Mamas and Papas, The Proclaimers, Holly Cole, Waterdeep, Be Good Tanyas, Starflyer 59, U2, Barenaked Ladies, Jonathan Inc., North Atlantic Explorers.
Current TV: Corner Gas, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, Bones, Grey's Anatomy.
Films: French Kiss - The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe - Casablanca - Best in Show - Love Actually.
Books - Recent and Old Time Favourites include: The Power of One - The Little Prince - Anything by Madeline L'Engle - What's So Amazing About Grace - The Remains of the Day - LOTR - Harry Potter - Pippi Longstocking - Fugitive Pieces - the poetry of Sue Sinclair.
*Collage and scrapbooking - so all sorts of papers, ephemera, stickers, images, phrases, etc. are great. I've discovered that I'm not a huge fan of Kawaii, though I wouldn't be upset to get some: I'd just happily alter and/or re-swap.
*Knitting - esp. socks and scarves, though I've done a few sweaters too. I work with most kinds of wool and yarn - including the funky stuff and am particularly fond of bamboo needles. I'm beginning to branch out into smaller projects like wrist warmers and gloves. I'm also getting started with felting. Wish me luck.
*Poetry postcards - because who doesn't like to receive a poem in the mail?
*Envelope and card making. If you like homemade envies, I'm your girl!
*Softies and Dottee dolls: I've always been a bit afraid of sewing but these have bit a great way to ease myself into the world of needle and thread. And they can be just so cute!
I've been amazed, impressed, humbled and inspired with the generousity of fellow swappers and mean to continue sharing the love!
So... I don't flake. I send things out on time and if I don't (by extenuating circumstances) I will ALWAYS let you know. (I've posted late once - and that was by one day.) Since Canada Post can be strange, please allow some extra time for travel. PLEASE let me know if something goes AWOL before rating and I'll do my best to fix the situation.
I re-use packaging.
