I enjoy holidays New Years through Christmas.

Crafting Relaxes me

• I quilt

• sew

• embroider

  And I would like to learn to felt wool, needle punch, spin, make tip-ins and chunky book art.

Sewing Supplies: can always use

• 45mm rotary blades for both my rotary cutters.

• Timtex

• Peltex-double sided fusible

• Pelmet Vilene-would like to try this

• Heatbond light or heavy-for my Fabric PC's & ATC's

• Colorful sewing thread

• Fabric- fun, exciting FQ's vivid colors interesting motifs, focus fabrics.

Lavender is my favorite color but all colors fabric stash wise are nice

NO AVON PRODUCTS PLEASE

Like little CERAMIC Thimbles. Just starting to collect them.

I like and can use any/all Handcrafted soaps & toiletries, whether bought or handmade. I make, trade and use handmade soaps from scratch. Some ingredients used in my batches are olive, coconut, macadamia nut, brazil nut, hemp seed oils. I also make more decadent soaps with butters like shea, mango, cocoa and others. Essential oil soaps are my favorites. If you make handmade toiletries and want to trade. I'm game.

I drink tea and coffee daily. Flavored coffees are my favorite. Flavored teas can be nice but I am picky on them. Basically if you can buy them in the grocery, so can I and therefore most likely will have them in my overflowing tea caddy already. Jasmine is also nice. I'm a fan of loose teas. I have my own tea papers so loose teas properly wrapped are welcome.

I ABHOR LICORICE really dislike it,okay? Lemon, orange spice, plain green teas,cinnamon, Not so much on the like side for me. I like anti-oxidant type teas. Blueberry Pomegranate is a for instance.

My clothing size medium to large depending on manufacturer or sizes in the 8-10 range. I Love Pajama's and comfy house shoes

• Deva Premal

• Enya

Audio books tape/cd

  My friend and author Earlene Fowler writes the Benni Harper series. I Love all her books.

I HAVE ONE INDOOR ONLY CAT Sir Bingo is his name O

Please note for future swaps. He~Sir Bingo is clean and he lives here No matter how hard I try it seems an errant cat hair will end up in the clear packaging tape as I prepare shipments.

Sir Bingo likes: * catnip toys

• quiet balls to bat around the house

My life as a LCMT has turned me into a people watcher. We humans are amazing creatures to watch in action. I can tell where a person carries the most stress and tension in their bodies, just from watching them walk and interact.

I have lots of things listed here on my profile ONLY TO HELP YOU. A $5.00 gc to a store of your preference is a good thing in my book. On my end I'd rather see that I can include a small gc in a swap that I send.

I enjoy sending out forum RAKs and swaps. I like to swap with swappers who are of the same mind as myself. Thanks!
