About Me

...Having lived in ALASKA for 12 years I am in love with the whole beautiful natural world. I am in the process of simplifying....what a journey. My philosophy is ....ALL of life is an adventure & is what YOU make it.....

Always up for a challenge ...something different-something new....I'll try anything once.

I'm easy going, love to laugh & easy to please.

I like to keep things simple-utilitarian style....simplify....simplify-basically meaning I don't like to keep alot of knick-knack...doo-dads & things that don't earn their keep in my life thru having a useful purpose

I reuse decent packaging to send out my swaps

Likes & DISlikes

I like all things natural & real...ocean, rocks, flora, fauna, wind, sun, rain, snow, tides, stars, the man on the moon, storms, winter...... & all the outdoor activities that go with them, snowshoeing, hiking, snorkeling, backpacking, wild crafting........

I like the macabre, the unusual, the creepy & the weird

FABRICS/FIBERS....Naturals-wool, linen, cotton, silk....

TOP FAV COLORS.....turquoise, sea green, aqua, lime, ocean blue, coral pink/orange, brown, black, robins egg blue

I LOVE black licorice, anything lime...color or flavored, dark chocolate, Thai food- any cuisine that is super spicy TEAS....all sorts Tazo Zen, Irish breakfast, Lotus...

VINTAGE....well used, forlorn, grungy, forgotten, faded, found items.....well you get the idea

METALS....I love metal-copper, brass, silver, iron, Luv it all!...watch parts, gears, tags, fittings, pipes, wire, etc.

I LOVE to blow bubbles! They are SO happy... how can you blow bubbles & not smile?! I carry a mini bottle of bubble solution in my handbag

CULTURES I'm always interested in learning about other countries...food, lifestyles, traditions, trends...you name it I'm into it!!

I'm not a warm fuzzy cutesy puppy-bunny-kitty kinda gal...not into Disney

Favorite Crafts

I LOVE TO ART!! I enjoy a wide variety

*Mixed media Collage & Assemblage...bits & odd baubles-all sorts

*JEWELRY...trying to gather all the tools I need for cold connections (those teeny tiny screws are adorable!), any tips/supplies/tools appreciated! + I also solder + Trying out some steampunk which I'm totally Lovin'!

New to JOURNALING....which I'm LOVING...I get to doodle & play with my fav gel pens....I enjoy art in the style of Teesha Moore & Traci Bautista (among others) & would LOVE to take a class from them *sigh someday

*I love to SEW... branching out on quilts from trad to the artsy + I've started making WeiRd-O stuffies-hehe! + enjoy sewing on my little featherweight, quilts, aprons, vintage projects, I like taking the old & remaking it into something new & useful. I am starting to gravitate to solid color fabrics & straightforward patterns such as the Amish use, I want to play with color.

*I'm trying to knit...its going so-so

Favorite Music

WoW a tough one. I like an eclectic mix! Irish, (I play fiddle), I like the high lonesome Appalachia sound, Tommy Peoples, Collective Soul, Scissor Sisters, Classical, Native American, New Grass Revival, Reggae, 90's grunge, Lenny Kravitz, jazz....not much I don't like...not of big fan of current "country" music, I do like some of the older stuff

Favorite Television

Not a big fan of TV...don't have one & wonder if I did when would I find time to watch it?!

Favorite Books

Comment: Thanks for the parcel :) I especially liked the microscope stencil. I read the articles today over lunch - the one about the movement of leukocytes was interesting (although missing the last page)...The one about the yeast proteins went right over my head! all I got from that is that the same yeast used to make beer and bread also secretes a sex related protein (I thought they reproduced by budding?) and some kind of killer protein (killer for what, though? not humans?)...Anyhoo, the leukocytes article introduced me to Nature magazine, which I see they have issues of at my local library....I look forward to checking them out :)
