About Me

I'm a 50-mumble woman living on my own for the first time since my early 20s. Quite an experience. I have a balance disability and cannot work, so spend a lot of time knitting, reading, on my computer or doing various other crafts. I have a kitten named Clementine who is the love of my life, oh, and my name is Andrea, called Ande by my friends, which I consider you, now that you're reading my profile ;)

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, pottery, embroidery/crewel, quilting, sewing, writing, crochet (when I have to)

Favorite Music

60s-80s mostly. Rock and singer/songwriters

Wishlist/Likes

Buttons, yarn, trims/embellishments, embroidery patterns/floss, yarn, fabric, yarn (you get the idea)

Stuff for papercrafts - don't do much of them, but might if I had stuff. I have some rubber stamps, but don't know what to do with them....

Zines. Would love some zines.

Colors: Earthtones and blue.

Dislikes

Risque/sexually themed items, "country" decor, Precious Moments or any other themed tchotchkes. Witches, vampires, ghouls and ghosts. Scented stickers/notepaper/letters.

Colors: Red, pink, white and any 'neon' color

Favorite Books

Cozy mysteries, Sherri Tepper, Joseph C. Lincoln books

Favorite Television

All time - Hill St. Blues, Star Trek Next Generation, Barney Miller

Current - CSI, Bones, Criminal Minds

Other pertinent info

My household is neither pet- or smoke-free and since swap organizers have no control over who is assigned to who in swaps, I apologize if my swap smells a bit smoky or has a stray hair from my beloved kitten. I will wash any washable items prior to sending, and any purchased items will be immediately put into a ziplock to minimize exposure to smoke or pet hair.

I collect...

Antiques, buttons (including antique buttons), paperweights, stamps, watercolor paintings (love, love watercolors)

Edibles/drinkables

Drinkable likes - chamomile tea, hot chocolate, flavored coffees

Edible likes - Chocolate (real stuff, not Palmer or other 'discount' chocolate flavored chocolate), nuts, crackers, old-fashioned candies

Drinkable dislikes - anything alcoholic, green tea, anything minty.

Edible dislikes - anchovies, marzipan, any snacks from the dollar stores that aren't major brands.

Comment: Thank you Andrea for the creative yarn Owl! I enjoy needlework,and appreciate the time it took for you to make this for me.Thanks so much! Its framable!
Response: My aim for any ATC is that it is a very small work of art, so at least in this case I met my goal. Thank you.

With regards to the Keri Smith journal - I have re-routed my journal (which was meant for you) to the person that has not received. If/when you return to swapping, please let me know before rating me for this swap and I will create you a new journal. I hope you are well, Gini

Swap; We are So Different But Are So Similarity

Hope you are keeping well and busy. Same as yourself can't get around much, but thankfully like yourself love crafts.

I have two cats, a black beast, His Nibs, and a red long haired one with white feet he's Socks. Enjoy your little kitten, they are fun to watch they always love the wool.

You are a girl after my own heart. Buttons yarn fabric, cannot get enough or past any bye. Don't feel so guilty now that I am in swap-bot and can share. Have a lot for paper crafts too. We will get you started into the paper crafts soon.

What is a friendship book, is it like a scrapbook

Bye for now, hope to swap with you in the near future. Keep safe Alice

We Are So Differents But We Are So Similarity

Oh deary, send me your addy and I will send you a friendship book so you can see what they are all about. I love swapping nice and neat ones. Since you have things for paper crafting it would put them to good use. I would love to help you get started with FBs... or other items like slams, decos, label bags and the such.

Glad to see you on Swap-Bot and hope you stay for quite sometime. :)
