I am a 30-something woman loving life in Northern Nevada with my husband, our 8 year old daughter Annabel Lee, our 15yo black cat Atilla the Hun, and a fluffy bunny named Thumper "Mike D" McThump.

I grew up in & around Detroit, MI and I have a trucker mouth. I love sewing & crafts, thrifting, animals, being outdoors, gardening, reading, writing, spending time with my family, living & learning freely with radical unschooling, walking, meditating and doing volunteer work with the homeless in my community.

Please consider writing a letter to a homeless friend: click here for info

Crafts: crochet, sewing, embroidery, quilting, felting, natural fibers, handmade items, children's art supplies, embroidery patterns, paper & collage, journaling, japanese embroidery & craft books, waldorf/nature crafts, old embroidery hoops

Music: Ska, Reggae, Motown, Swing, Blues, Big Band, Classic Rock - anything with a good horn section -- music that makes you get up and dance!

Books: Can't get enough!! My favorite subjects are Buddhism, Philosophy, Comparative religion, Mythology, Atheism, Historical Biographies, Poetry Collections, Art Books, Cultural Anthropology, Classic Sci-Fi

Vintage Goodness: I love anything from the 1930s/40s/50s including fabric, patterns (sewing/crochet/embroidery), sewing notions & accessories, old issues of workbasket magazine, doilies, childrens books, enamelware, milk glass, primary colored pyrex, vintage linens/pillowcases, buttons, cookie cutters and red-handled kitchen items, oddly shaped frames, western tourist travel folios, swanky swigs. Also, while I do love them, I do not need any more aprons

I'm not so much into angels or anything biblical, but general inspiration is good. :)

I have Celiac's Disease, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and ##many severe food allergies##. While I appreciate your good intentions, please do not send me any food, candy, beverages or bath/body products.
