About Me

eadaoin.png picture by six<em>two</em>four

I live in Bolton, UK, home of the Knitting Noras, the best group of knitting friends anyone could possibly have!

I love art of all kinds, Edward Gorey, Chandeliers, yoga, anything Japanese - especially fabric and kokeshi dolls, playmobil animals and plants, food - especially Indian and Mexican food and chocolate.

Favourites

favourites.png picture by six<em>two</em>four

Some more of my favourite things are: anything pink, pale green, silver or purple, cake, roses, jasmine and lillies, cats, birds - especially peacocks, dachshunds, bats, horsesand unicorns, red wine, the smell of cut grass, day trips to the city or country, flea markets, junk/vintage shops and car boot sales, anything from the 1950s and 1970s, cheesy vintage knitting patterns, old cookery books.

I love all kinds of music. My current favourite bands/artists are Tom Waits, Tinariwen, Calla and Calexico. But I do also like bands/artists whose names don't begin with T or C!

Favorite Books

At the moment I'm enjoying the Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer. I read a wide range of stuff though, anything from the classics to modern fiction, though I'm not a fan of "chick lit"

Favorite Television

Heroes (when I can be bothered)

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, cross stitch, making jewellery, ATCs, renovating my dolls house, learning to sew, gardening, decorating. I'm currently learning to crochet.

My favourite craft supplies are vintage buttons and beads, yarn of all kinds, fabric - especially Japanese, ribbon with unusual patterns, vintage images and old photos.

I'm always happy to receive any of the following:

I will send items for every swap I'm involved in and will post them on time. I promise to rate all items I receive. If I send you something and you don't received it please let me know and I'll send you a replacement.

Dislikes

dislikes.png picture by six<em>two</em>four

I don't like cars, reality tv, dotee dolls, cauliflower, milk, tracksuits (especially shiny ones), sports, R&B music, cottage gardens, snakes, chick flicks or chick lit.

Please do not include any religious tracts or political items in swaps (but I'm happy to receive religious images, charms etc). And no clowns or monkeys please. Absolutely no clowns or monkeys. I can't stand them. Or snakes or skulls. And nothing yellow.

No edibles please - I'm currently dealing with trying to sort out some allergies. And no tea, coffee or hot chocolate - I don't drink them.

I do not have a flickr page. I'll try to find a link to what I am going to do to the ponies...

Here we go

http://www.etsy.com/viewlisting.php?listingid=9302460

Let me know what you think. The link is not to work I've done but something I've been thinking about for a very long time.

Hi, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful package of goodies you sent me through the wishlist group. The My Little Ponies are absolutely fanstastic. I can't wait to start using them. If they turn out the way that I want, I'll send you one as a thank you gift. :) The stamps are a huge thrill as well. I'm saving them, along with many others for a large project at some time in the future. And I put one of the brooches on the new hoodie I bought yesterday. Thank you so much for being so thoughtful.
