I'm a creative mom of two, with an Etsy shop specializing in handmade goodies, such as bags, bowls and accessories. I love to be creative, and I love getting snail mail. I really love all things kawaii and japanese food. ♥

I ALWAYS send out my swaps, so if you haven't received something please let me know before you rate, thank you! ♥

knitting, sewing, quilting, scrapbooking, journalling, making ATC's, and my new favorite obsession - making altered matchboxes! ♥

at the moment - feist, sigur ros, wilco, the cardigans, innocence mission, jenny lewis and the watson twins, hem and always David Bowie.

very eclectic - I just finished The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society and it was fantastic, I highly recommend it! I loved The Historian by Kostova, but also many others like, Christopher Moore, Jon Katz, Susan Wittig Albert, Robin Paige, Patrick Gale, Joanne Harris, Armstead Maupin, and on, and on......... I also love reading travel writing and memoirs/biographies.

Amelie, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, My Neighbor Totoro, It's a Wonderful Life, Sabrina, Funny Face, Philadelphia Story, anything with Cary Grant, James Bond movies, and on and on.....

I just saw PONYO and it's wonderful!!! ♥

at the moment - Lost, Top gear, Gordon Ramsey's F word, Castle, What not to Wear, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Ashes to Ashes, Primeval, the Invisibles.

♥I would really love to get some lucky star origami paper, I'd love to start making some!

♥I love Japanese kawaii stuff, like stickers, deco tape, memo sheets, letter sets, tiny erasers and all the general cuteness they have.

♥I love kawaii plushies, like Hannari Tofu, Nyanko, Kutusitanyanko, Pudding, Milk and Toast.

♥Anything to do with Studio Ghibli.

♥Anything to do with Japan.

♥I love those red and white mushrooms/toadstools, gnomes, and nature.

♥I love polka dots on ribbon, fabric, paper, anything at all really!

♥My kid's would squeal with joy over anything to do with Pokemon, Cardcaptors, Bakugan or Roizen Maiden!

♥Also, I have a couple Pullip dolls, and a mini Blythe doll, and am just starting to collect Re-ment, which makes super cute dollhouse miniatures. Any tiny sized accessories I could make hairclips for them with would be wonderful! :D

not many - but I'd really prefer not to get anything Disney, Diddl, Morning Glory or Pixar, I really love just kawaii brands, thank you! ♥
