About Me

Hello Everyone! I am Sarah, a 20 something year old girl from all over the country who happens to be studying art ed. If I am not crafting, painting, working, studying, or sleeping, I am probably Geo-caching. I happily reside in Idaho, potatoes all around!

I do like to recycle packaging, so please don't be surprised to find a redecorated package coming to your door!

I try to only do a few swaps at a time so as not to get overwhelmed. Generally I stay away from swapping around finals and Christmas as these tend to be the busiest times of year for me. :P Please let me know if you haven't received your package. I will get another out to you asap!

Favorite Music

I love any and all music with two exceptions. The dreaded modern country.....icky...and anything remotely religious. Currently I am into Classic Rock, Indie, House, and a little bit of folk....Ska, funk, hippie....

Favorite Movies

I love almost any and all movies....from the hilariously bad to the thought provoking. Here are a few exapmles: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Amelie, Royal Tenenbaums, Idiocracy, Ever After, Baz Luhrmann, Kevin Smith, Garden State, Scary John Waters, almost anything really...cheesey 80's movies are the best! Also anything that is awesomely bad...

Favorite Television

Current Favorites:

Lost, No Reservations, Stargate SG-1, Battlestar Galactica, the Office, Ghosthunters....all in all I really don't watch that much TV though it may seem that way...not enough time to waste on it...It generally serves as background noise.

Favorite Crafts

Crafts I love: Anything really. I will try anything at least once. Lately I have been getting more and more into sewing and stitching versus my beloved fine arts.

Currently I: Paint, acrylic and water color, Mixed Media, Paper Crafts, Batik, Draw, Knit, Crochet, Cross Stitch, Sew, Collage, Make Jewelry, and much much more.......I have WAY too many hobbies for one person.....and I still want to learn all about pinhole cameras!!!!!!!!

Things I Like

Things I love: All colors except pastels and earth tones, Actually if you can do pastels like in Coppola's Marie Antoinette then you are in good shape :) If you really need to know my absolute favorite colors they are Yellows, Pinks, Reds, Oranges....and strangely Teal....but all colors are good...I state a few dislikes, but I am flexible...If you have something you really want to do in a certain color, theme, whatever please by all means send it my way!!!!!! I am here for other people's art, and I cannot dictate what another person/artist wants to do.

The ARTOMAT, Llamas Llamas Llamas!!!, Victorian era style, handmade, hand drawn, rococo, Stationary, Matryoshka Russian Nesting Dolls, Vintage paper dolls and cutouts, Tarot and playing cards....especially the 10 of clubs, The Empress, The Hanged Man, and the Star, Hippie, Trippy, Psychedelic, 80's Cartoon characters, Unicorns, The Muppets, Mushrooms, Sprites, Fairies, Roses, Lilacs, New Agey, Haunted, Monsters, Aliens, Sanrio, Fish, Big Foot and Yetis, Citrus, Chocolate, Forest Critters...actually all critters..., Deer, owls, Gnomes, Cupcakes, Retro, Modern, Crafty, Softies, Fun Toys, Snoopy, Animals, Tattoos, Any and all books, Tea cups and Tea, Alice in Wonderland, Jesus and Mary, Catholic Saints, Buddhas, Silly old Jesus and Saints paraphernalia, Cute Japanese or Asian things....Kawaii is good! Pink Flamingos, lolita, Rockabilly, Vintage, Victorian, Marie Antoinette, Candles, Ridiculous...I have a Jackalope in my house on the wall...... Cute cartoon kitties, Robots, Zombies, Ninjas, Pirates, Birds, Bears, wolves, Suns, Solar, and Moons, I am really into Gemini things, as well as cute rats and mice...I am year of the Rat, Geisha, Feathers, Sparkles, Day of the Dead Skulls, Fuzzy Things, cute anything really....

Things I Don't Like

Please No:

Anything Country Home and Gardenesque.....

I don't do regular florals, pop art, vintage, and retro florals are OK, no country.

Nothing super religious....no "I love God" stuff pretty please....Fun Religious Icons are OK

No real live animal cutesy kitty, puppy photos.....Oh God...no babies....please no babies!

No Precious Moments, Love is, is ok though :D

No Earth Tones unless they are mixed with something else

As stated above, I pretty flexible. If you have a certain color or theme you just must work in, please send it my way! The only things I stand firm on are the religious and real life cutesy animal/baby things.

Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen!!!!

Comment: Love my owl! How did you figure out the pattern? I'm kind of new to this and I'm trying to figure out how to come up with ideas. Thank you so much! :)
Response: Actually I found the pattern in a book from SewingStars....I love her! I tweaked it in all the areas that I wanted to change. I find hand sewing with felt is much easier than with other cloth, especially when starting out. With stuffies that are more 3D than 2D, it helps to look at several other patterns and play with them before you make your own. Hope that helps!!!!!! So glad you like him! :)
