Hey, I've been having a terrible 2009. In a last ditch effort to be better, I'm moving back home from CA to NY. It's been a hellish ordeal. I'm so sorry to all the wonderful swappers out there that I flaked on. Funny thing is, I actually finished a lot of the swaps but never was able to send them out. I still plan to send out all the swaps I owe. I've left positive feedback for everyone, regardless of whether or not I received any items. I've had all my mail forwarded for a while now, so when I get back home and sort through it all, I'll add hearts too.

Again, a heartfelt apology to all. I'll see you and make it up to you all in a couple of months, I hope.

Likes: crochet, reading, playing the guitar, my NDS, hiphop dance movies, anything with Shia LaBeouf, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies, calligraphy (especially Asian), stars, bunnies, watercolor paintings!

I love to crochet. I love to work with paper. I'm thinking of designing my own greeting cards from now on. love my Canon 870is and making postcards from my own photos. I just bought a sewing machine, so I am looking forward to making stuffies and reconstructing my own clothes. I've had good results with freezer paper stencils for my own t-shirt designs. i try to hand draw my ATCs so that is very time-consuming!

supplies to make stuff:

watercolors. kawaii. amigurumi (sewn, knitted, crocheted): safety eyes, wool felt, embroidery needles, embroidery floss, fat quarters and largish fabric scraps. ATCs. bookmarks. Japanese anime/manga. nintendo. Batman-verse (i heart Teen Titans). photo postcards. yarn. blank cards. handkerchiefs. bias tape. ribbon, all widths. Diamond glaze. sturdy keychain rings and keychain blanks.
