Tunamarie

Wild and crazy quilter, dollmaker, and crochet addict. Really miss the days of snail mail and looking forward to fun swapping with others. I am a tea drinking, decaf coffee loving kind of gal who is grateful for health and love I have!

I have a real range of music that I love. Ranges from Motown and the American Classics to showtunes and great folk/rock music of the 70's. Idiosyncratic tastes also include SHOWTUNES and some country and bluegrass.

Books by Victor Hugo, Charles Dickens, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Barbara Kingsolver, Terry Tempest Williams & Stephen King, Most great Children's literature, She's Come Undone, Lovely Bones

What Dreams May Come, The Godfather I & II, Brother Sun Sister Moon, Big Fish, Wizard of Oz, Singing in the Rain, Jane Eyre (with Orson Wells)

Top Chef, Project Runway, Sober House, Amazing Race & Many of the Food Network shows.

Old movies are my favorite though.

Quilting, applique, crochet, softies, embroidery like redwork and line stitchery and crafts to share with children and groups. I really want to help people feel like they can "get their craft on!"

Just started getting in Dotee Dolls and Fabric ATC's as the result of Swap Bot. Really am interested in anyone wanting to do some fabric inchies!

Judaism, Buddhism, Mindfulness Children and Elders need us to pay better attention to them! There are 500,000 children in foster care in the US! We need to step up for them! Relationship and knowing someone is more important than ideology!

I am a Fabric Junkie! I love bold fun design and color. Love Novelty Fabrics and retro funky stuff. Love the Auntie Grace fabric line. Like African designs.

Recent to crochet and love nice yarns especially cottons.

Recent to Dotee Dolls and would like to start to amass a bit of a bead collection...buttons are fun as well.

Embroidery floss is so fun as are fun designs to stitch.

Always want to hear about swaps, BOM, or challenges getting started. I always seem to find out about them just after the closing dates!

I am not any longer really wanting to do stickers, papercraft. Not a big fan of the cute stuff like Kawaii. No floral or paisley please, no pastel baby theme.

Please no commercial character stuff...don't really use anything with cartoon characters or other media images.
