(trying to use reverse psychology here)
Join me on Farm Town on Facebook!


I enjoy sewing. I like to make totes, morsbags, zipper pouches, cup wraps, tea wallets, stuffies. I also like to play with polymer clay and beads and glue and glue guns. ---- pew!pew!pew!
Sewing, embroidery, crochet, polymer clay...
I dig just about anything using fabric, felt, thread, buttons and beads and yarn and needles and ribbon and clay and glue and paint and markers and photoshop and illustrator and my camera and and and... ahhhh... so many ideas... so little time.

MUSIC
Blues, indie, old r&b.
Currently in my MP3 player:
Girl in a Coma, Weezer, Modest Mouse, Tegan & Sara, Dixie Chicks, Regina Spektor, Bob Marley, Tool, Van Morrison, Etta James, Metallica, Bare Naked Ladies, Belle & Sebastian, Tom Jones, White Stripes and several audio books.
BOOKS
craft, chick-lit, memoirs and anything about the old south.
I dig audio format mostly, cos I can listen while I work, drive and craft... that and I can download them for free through the library.
TV
I can't imagine living my life by a tv schedule. I know too many that do. I find that sad. However, when I do turn on the TV, its usually to keep me company while I am crafting or getting ready for work. I watch the news, King of the Hill, Scrubbs and Monk.
MOVIES
Napoleon Dynamite ROCKS!
Indie, Drama, Foreign, Gay and Lesbian films and documentaries. I don't do big blockbuster hits or sci-fi or fantasy or horror.
COLORS
It really depends on the medium, but I like browns, pinks, blues, greens and my favorites are deep dark rich reds and black. I love black. oooh, white is good too.
The swaps I join are those that challenge me to think, learn something new or that will give me more experience in a craft I already do. I will not join swaps that require me to buy something for my partner. Well, unless its an etsy related swap or something to do with fabric cos I love Etsy and I love fabric... For the most part, I am most interested in crafty, handmade swaps.
Let's See... What else? I really enjoy swapbot because I've been able meet people from all over the world. I've met some very cool, talented, and creative people here. Some of whom I would love to meet in person. So if you're ever in Houston...
I am so addicted to the internets. If you are like me, friend me and tell me you're on Swapbot. I am on Twitter and Facebook. I have a myspace but I rarely go there. Edited to add: If you're on Facebook and you play Sorority Life - join my house!
Rating
I rate almost as soon as I receive. I appreciate the same in return. If you've sent something and you think I should have received it but I haven't rated yet, go ahead and message me. I don't bite. :P well not usually. Also, I receive swaps at my PO BOX. I usually go once a week. So, take that into consideration. If you requested delivery confirmation and know that it was delivered... shoot me a PM and tell me to get to the post office. :)
Hearts
I give them.
I think I am that girl. The one you love to hate cos I give hearts -- for postcards even!!!
I give hearts for anything that makes me happy. The way I see it is, if the swap put a smile on my face, it deserves a freaking heart. So there. If the swap was late, I can still rate a 5 and a heart, but I will note that it was late. If you're a host and you don't like the way I play this game, ban me. No biggie on my end. I can always copy the swap or swap with someone privately. :P
One more thing
Hosts -- if you notice that my partner hasn't hit sent. Please don't contact my partner on my behalf. Most times I have already been in contact with them.
Don't worry, I do not go looking for angels.I will not hold a host responsible for a flaker. The way I see it, if I'm flaked on... that's the chance I took to play this game.
Extras
Please don't send any extras unless it just screams my name to you.
(here comes a hint)
Teas and Chocolate
Teas
black teas, breakfast teas, green teas and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Earl Grey. mmmmm.... Actually I don't really care for flavored teas but I love earl grey and green tea. hint hint. :P
Chocolate!
Yeah, about that... I am so freaking snooty when it comes to my chocolate... I only like Hershey's with Almonds. haha, got ya. I do love hershey's with almonds but I'm not picky. unless its really cheap dollar store kind of chocolate I won't have a hissy fit.
So, if you must include something as an extra... I like tea and chocolate. But seriously, don't worry about sending any extras.
