Hi! I'm fairly new to swap-bot but I have swapped online before - It's a lot of fun - I like swapping all kinds of little crafts and supplies, especially crochet squares, ATCs and inchies, and dotees - and I love swapping postcards with crafters all over the world.

I love most music, but mainly rock (classic and indie) Too many bands to list but some of my faves are David Bowie; Neil Young; The Tragically Hip; REM; Radiohead; Interpol; Elbow; Super Furry Animals; Doves; Stone Roses; Echo and the Bunnymen etc...

Favourite books, again too many to list - used to read a lot of sci-fi and fantasy, now mostly non-fiction, biographies and of course craft books!

A few of my favourite movies : Casablanca, A Matter of Life and Death, West Side Story, The Commitments, Grosse Point Blank, The Railway Children, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, Still Crazy, and many more...

TV shows: All time faves: Dr Who, Firefly, Angel, The West Wing, Northern Exposure, Due South, Arrested Development, Blackadder, Father Ted, Spaced, Black Books, Mighty Boosh etc... nowadays, mostly documentaries, Mythbusters, also Bones, NCIS, CSI, Numb3rs, Criminal Minds. But I don't watch much TV ;)

Crafts: I love making jewellery, crochet, small sewing, cross stitch, ATCs and inchies - and I always like to try new crafts - with varying degrees of success : ) I'm trying to improve my knitting skills at the moment!

When I'm not crafting I will be reading or out walking my dogs - with my ipod! Or, you know, working and other boring stuff. : )

MY FAVOURITE THINGS

My fave colours are lime green, olive green, khaki, all shades of green - also brown and blue, black/white. I like vintage stuff, recycled and repurposed things are great! Also miniature, tiny anything!

Patterns - I like spots and stripes, batiks, paisley and peace-signs; heart shapes and stylised flowers; bright jewel-colours on black; kitschy sci-fi motifs like robots and flying saucers; birds, trees and leaves; anything to do with Nature and all birds and animals especially ducks, whales, dogs and guinea pigs.

I collect ducks (models, images, stuffies etc.)

I like to collect postcards from all over the world, and fun souvenirs from tourist attractions, e.g. pencils, erasers, snowglobes and especially squashed pennies! I can't resist a penny-flattening machine and whenever I see one I get a few to swap : )

STUFF I LIKE TO RECEIVE :D

Handmade or drawn things!

ATCs/Inchies

Craft supplies - any bits of pretty fabric, papers, stickers, ribbon and lace, brads, unusual butttons and beads, yarn and fibres - all much appreciated.

Friendly note :D

SWAPPING - I will always send packages, so please let me know if something has not arrived (bear in mind I am in the UK, mail to the USA and further afield can take anything from 5 days to a few weeks!)

• I will always give ratings, as soon as possible after receiving a package. If I do not receive anything, I will always contact my swap partner before giving a bad rating - stuff happens! So if your swap package from me has not arrived after a long time - please contact me so I can re-send it :)

I like to put a hand-written note in with my packages (and love to receive them!) - so I apologise for my quite messy handwriting which is hard to read sometimes :)
