About Me

4o-something Canadian/Portuguese female, living in sunny Portugal since I was a teenager. Used to be called Porkchop. Thought that calling my blog "Porkchop" might seem weird. Known to swear, daily... Love to read, all the time; love to sew, but rarely finish anything... (Edited 26 May 2008: finished my sister's birthday present - patchwork handbag!) Think the concept of swapping broadens your world.

Favorite Music

Good rock'n'roll: QOTSA, Pearl Jam, RHCP, U2, Foo Fighters, etc. I'll go to any dump if there's a live band on. Dance music: yes the old fogie loves to dance. But I won't buy any of the stuff they usually play in clubs, it should stay in clubs.

Favorite Books

Anything and everything by Stephen King, because he writes like somebody who'd enjoy having a beer and just chillin'. Cornwell, Cook, Bryson, Clarke, just too many to mention.

Favorite Television

Lost, Heroes, House, Grey's Anatomy - anything with quirky twists and turns, and talented and hot actors.

Favorite Crafts

Sewing is a passion, although, as I said before, I don't often finish projects. Have great ideas, but lack the stamina to get them through. When I do finish stuff, I'm ecstatic! Maybe sewing swaps will help me finish stuff :) Since being registered with Swap-bot, my sewing groove is back (!) and I'm finishing a few of the projects that I had hanging around. Happiness is a fat quarter (sigh)...

Loves

funky handbags; blue; green; funny socks; Garfield; craft and sewing blogs; italian food; the beach; smocks; magazines; dresses; soccer; tea; coffee; chocolate; beer; going out at night; straight vodka; Reese's anything with chocolate and peanut butter; mustard

Hates

red; wrestling; country music; jam; fruit in my chocolate; fava beans; self-help books; holier-than-thou attitudes; moonshine; mayonnaise; dishonesty

Comment: What an amazing package! I especially love the boy shaped one for seawater to help you breathe, that's hilarious! I will have to look out for an English version of 'Lembro-me que', you've piqued my interest!! Anyways thank you so much, this was so much more than I expected.
Response: It's always fun putting a swap together and hoot to explain the "whys and wherefores"!

Am absolutely horrified none of my partners in the postcard swap have received... I've even complained with the post office. Am re-sending everybody.
