I am obsessed with 45 records, I listen to music on mixed tapes/my walkman.
I love my library!

I can’t get enough of books, sewing, concerts, pinball, rug hooking, knitting, crocheting, feathers, going for brunch, fancy stationary, pen palling, post-swapping, preserving, canning, gardening, writing, sculpting and making jewellery, baking fancy pastries and cupcakes... I know far too much about Iceland… it’s a bit of a weird obsession…

I love: Cardigans, canoes, Carcassonne, puzzles, and scrabble (I'm 90 on the inside)... I love riding my bike along the waterfront and thought my city… I like yurts and cottages and camping and cooking over open fire… I live downtown and have a far-too-active social life. I have a cute dog and the best roommates ever!

I dislike:
When my stockings slowly roll down and stretch until they wont stay up any longer... When record needles die and leave your albums gritty sounding. That my DAT recorder was stolen and I’ll likely never get another. That I never win at Pictionary... Hangovers. Irrational feelings/thoughts/friends…

I also use sendsomething.net and postcrossing.com for swaps. If you know of any similar sites please let me know!

I’m about as left as possible... I am interested and passionate about politics. I love TED lectures and reading about 'science'.

I have CAPD, Dyslexia & Dysgraphia; they tend to rule my life. I often don’t say what I mean… I have a hard time repeating back what you just said when tired or stressed…

I won’t respond to complaint filled or abusive emails. I send on time and if there are any issues I always communicate them... I expect the same in return...

I sew. I felt.
I'm learning how to spin yarn. I knit. I cross stitch. I rug hook. I love millinery; i wear and make hats all the time... I love wood working... I make kites, sculptures and I paper Mache. I do beadwork. I've been upholstering and finishing furniture I dig out from the trash, I've taken to sewing most of my own clothes... I swap vintage and try and barter most of my goods... I preserve and can most everything… I am a master jam and jelly maker! I still can’t make decent sauerkraut to save my life… I bake GF and regular treats… I enjoy making pretty pies and cakes… I love my piping bag! I love working with metals and natural fibres...

if someone is looking to gift me something i'd love random postcards... the more risqué and obscene the better. i collect all sorts of post cards, but bizarre and slightly offensive ones i prefer! i've got a dark sense of humour and am really hard to offend...

Yarn, ribbon, and beautiful junk!

i also love any kind of music... cds, tapes, records (45's. 33's and 78's)...
