About Me

I am a crafty nut who has just moved back to Australia. I have an array of fabrics, trims and buttons from Melbourne and Japan and look forward to a swap or a few hundred... It gets kinda addictive... I love Japanese fabrics & trims and my favourite colours are green and red. I also love vintage fabrics, trees and birds. I try to recycle fabrics where possible. My list of 'I like': COLORS: Green (esp. olive, moss & apple) Red, bright colors. Combinations: dusky pink w/ olive green, red with blue, grey with pink, green with anything… STUFF: japanese fabric, vintage fabrics, , zakka, hedgehogs, owls, birds, trees & leaves, patterns, bright coloured polka dots & stripes, ,notecards, greeting cards,stamps, ribbon, stuffies, fabric covered vintage buttons and old bright wallpaper…

'I don't like': pastel colors, purple, anything Victorian style, religious matter & icons...

Our little girl Indigo is now 15months and her birthday is 15th December. She is absolutely perfect...

Favorite Music

Mainly chick tunes; Missy Higgins, Aretha Franklin, Tracy Chapman, Tori Amos, Powderfinger, Coldplay, Ben Harper, Crowded House, U2. Compilations of funk/jazz and those cool mixes of chillout tunes. Many Australian bands too...

Favorite Movies

Where to start... The Green Mile, The Castle, Kenny, The Big Blue, Betty Blue, Napoleon Dynamite, Failure to Launch, Bridget Jone's Diary, Vanilla Sky, Dirty Dancing, Footloose, Pretty in Pink, all the 80's drama's

Favorite Television

The Iron Chef, Neighbours, The News, Cooking shows, Underbelly, Six Feet Under, Love My Way, The Sopranos, Spicks and Specks, Rockwiz, Brothers and Sisters, Greys Anatomy.

Favorite Crafts

Comment: Wow! What an amazing parcel. I'd tell what my favorite is...but I love so many things. The little mushroom charms are just darling! I had so much fun opening each special package. I love the ribbon, the paper, the handmade tags (that I don't want to use, I want to keep) - I could go on and on. Thank you for taking so much care in putting it together. I look forward to using each piece :)

Thank you for the extra items for my son, it was so nice of you to think of him as well. He's away with his aunt at the moment, she's taken him to legoland today and he won't be back till tomorrow but I know he'll love them.

<3<3 Here's an extra couple of hearts on his behalf

Oh! I wish I could give you a heart! Thank you for the unexpected surprise! I got it right after I hit a mean old man's truck, so yeah! I needed it! And you're a lovely swap recipient, too! I felt warm and fuzzy when I got your rating!

<3 <3 <3 There's three hearts that don't count for an awesome owl pouch that will most certainly house some vacation goodies!

Oh cool! I am responsible for your first heart! Oh, the little things that thrill me :-) Thank you again for the fabulous fabric postcard. A truly international effort with Japanese fabric, New Zealand artist and all the postal employees on the way to the US!
