I am a 29 year old SAHM of a beautiful 3 year old little girl. I have my degree in Polymer Chemistry, and worked for a GE owned business before I became a mom. I have been married for almost 5 years to a wonderful man, who just recently became an American citizen. He came here from Indonesia about 20 years ago.

I love fabric, even if I don't have a project to use it with. I love sewing notions, new pairs of scissors, and new little gadgets that theoretically will make my sewing easier. I love new pens and markers, especially Sharpie markers. I have baskets full of trims, and ribbons. And don't even get me started on buttons!

I love paper crafts, even though I don't make them myself. New stationery-notecards & envelopes, bookmarks, and stickers. I love stickers!

I am big into recycling and repurposing things. I use reusable shopping bags at the store, my daughter was in cloth diapers, I use natural cleaners and detergents.

I love all books. I read everything from history to romance to science, whatever sounds good at the time. My favorite author is Stephen King. I also like Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The current book I am reading is "The Other Queen".

I love to sew, knit, quilt, and make stained glass. I do a little hand embroidery. I love sewing super complicated ball gowns for my daughter. I enjoy making period clothing, I just finished regency era dresses for my daughter and myself, with the appropriate underpinnings. (Well, I had a friend make the corset).

My current works in progress are: a bridal stole for my sister, his and hers pillowcases for the same sister, knitted turtle plushie w/outfits, a sundress for myself, and a Spongebob nightgown for my daughter.

My favorite themes are celestial, astrology, cats, goddess themes, butterflies, and angels. I do like Hello Kitty and Spongebob as well.

My favorite colors are purple, yellow, sage green, and black. I love brights.

I love to do tarot card readings, and making little charms to help my friends.

I love writing letters and receiving snail mail.

More things I like:

Tea-all kinds, black, green, herbal. I love loose tea, I actually prefer it to tea bags. I think you get a better brew from your tea, plus I have a teapot that has a built in strainer. I love doing tea swaps, but they are mostly for wrapped tea bags. If you get me as a partner, and you like your tea loose as well, feel free to send me some in a plastic bag or whatever. Please label it though so I know what it is.

Candles, and candle holders

handmade hippie clothes

Candy--sour candy, gummy candy, lollies

crafting books-embroidery, knitting, dress and pattern making, stitch dictionaries

Homemade marshmallows

Earthy stuff--altar cloths, seashells, herbs, crystals.

I love lavender--the color and the herb.

I collect little lidded boxes (I have since childhood), and boyd's bears.

I don't like pastels (unless I am making a gift for someone's new baby), Dora the Explorer, green and pink used together, wasteful attitudes.

Please no incense (makes my husband nutty just having it in the house), rune sets (have too many as it is).

Please no lotions or soaps. I have eczema and I can only use certain products with certain ingredients, plus I have a girlfriend who makes it special for me.
