craftyfairy

crafty fairy minion. i like flying kites and attempting to climb trees, riding bikes, building things, BIRDS and owls

the basics? well, i am 24, and live in Winnipeg. it is very cold here.

i love DIY everything, neat screenprints, etsy, indiefixx, crazy wrapping paper, , vintage book pages, realistic animals, nature, trees, deco/wasi tape, handmade, things made from bike parts, brown and green things, birds of prey, things made from other things, herbs and spices, stickers (especially nature themed or old looking), all kinds of tea, ribbon, real wool or neat kinds of yarn (silk, bamboo, hemp, recycled etc), stone and glass beads, bike related stuff, knitting notions

pretty much all my free time is spent doing crafts. some of them: sewing, knitting, crocheting, spinning, wood carving/burning, spoon making, jewelery/ beading, screen printing, stenciling, quilting, candle making, vanilla making, christmas light/ bike wheel chandelier assembling, sugar-free baking (or trying to), wire work (just learning)

i love teas, i am especially into Rooibos and herbal organic tea. typically the less caffeine the better! (my partner really likes earl grey and flavored green teas.)

owl things. we really like owls. and birds.

deco tape, wasi tape

patterns-- if you have tried a pattern and loved it i would appreciate a copy! (i am a good knitter but love the easy zone-out and watch tv kind of knitting best)

things with realistic bikes, owls, birds, deer, or trees are always a sure bet with me!

blank notecards of any sort, stickers!

wool or interesting spun fiber (no acrylic pls) i like a good dishcloth cotton too!

home-made things!

swap cards

letter opener

T-shirt yarn (make me some out of a throw away shirt! if you google it there are lots of tutorials)

home made envies

fun sugar packets (or ones from your region/language) my mom collects them!

return address labels

i dont like things that are anime, kawaii, cartoons, cutesy or religious. or acrylic yarn. i dont eat sugar/gluten/soy. so food stuffs are best avoided (aside from sugar packets from your region which my mom collects!)

kinda sad about swap bot. i try so hard to send folks things they will like from there profile and sometimes get what i perceive as junk, though maybe to them it isnt. recently in a little advent swap i got a torn off computer button. sigh

if anyone ever wants to do thoughtful private swaps i am starting to feel that might be a better way!

i have a couple swap-ey things i'd love to send to anyone who might enjoy them.... (things i've received that arent in my taste)

--vintage christian notecards (different occasions and sentiments) --tourist postcards from different places --notecards of various sorts (mostly sorta kitchy)

just let me know and i'll send em over, just for fun! north america preferred.
