I have been crocheting for nearly 40 years and crochet and knit all my gifts. I have been posting on flickr for nearly a year and enjoy seeing what other people spend time making. I crochet miniature bears..under 4 inches, cats, dogs, dolls, and anything else that comes to mind. I have enjoyed drawing since I was small and love to draw small caricatures of the people I work with and give them to them as pick-me-ups. I have designed a few of the things I crochet and also love to adapt the patterns I have purchased. Have a great sense of humour which is very helpful in my job as a reservations agent in customer service for a major airline...Lufthansa.

I really love deep colours, especially red-orange, teal, hunter green. My favorite tv shows are csi from anywhere and I enjoy The Iron Chef original series.

I enjoy learning about and collecting things from different cultures. I enjoy anything that someone has taken the time to make themselves and shows some real creativity and thought. I have always felt like a bit of a funny owl but have never made one. Maybe I should start! Being in an international business I would love to receive things having to do with flying, airlines, tourism things, etc, but I love receiving just about anything. I'm a cancer so things water related would be perfect.

I have recently knit a huge number of Hello Kitty stuffies and have made a few that are altered. I finished an Amelie doll for a recent swap and I have recently gotten into Dr Suess in a big way and have crocheted CindyLou Who as a Christmas ornament for a swap and have made The Lorax as a personal project. I have just finished crocheting The Cat in the Hat and Dr Who...number 4. I recently started working with felt and as I'm not the greatest embroiderer I sometimes paint the details. I love a challenge and would never flake on anyone. I put a lot of thought and effort into all of my swaps and enjoy them very much!
