About Me

I'm an artist, crafter, and cupcake obsessed girl perpetually searching for the sweet life! I primarily work in needle felting, but also do a fair bit of collaging, decorative painting and drawing. I love all things sweet and frosted, glittered and sprinkled. The world is serious enough, I just want to add some fun.

I'm a super responsible swapper who takes deadlines, quality, and giving very seriously. I only send packages I'd love to receive.

Favorite Crafts

I am a needle felter and love to see other people's fiber arts. I draw, paint, & sew.
I like mixed media collage, but honestly don't get the ATC craze. Dioromas and mini-theaters that are done well knock my out. Honestly, I like most crafts that are done well with attention to detail.

Favorite Television

I'm a TV addict! I have a TV in my studio and it's ALWAYS on. I watch any Bravo reality show: Top Chef, Project Runway, Top Designer, etc. I'm a FoodTV nut. I'll watch any Food Network Challenge, especially the cake & pastry challenges. "Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives" is like porn to me. I've watched most episodes 5+ times.

On Comedy Central, I'm a loyal fan of Jon Stewart and The Daily Show, The Colbert Report and South Park. With humerous things you can really push the envelope with me. I have the sense of humor of a 14 year old boy.

What I'd Like to Receive

I have an obsession with fake food. Any type of fake food: felt, polymer clay, miniatures, jumbo, the more realistic the better.

I'm specifically obsessed with cakes, cupcakes and pastries. My studio is decorated like a vintage bakeshop. It's pink and white striped with vintage aqua accents.

I love vintage bakery accessories: cake stands, cupcake toppers, baker's twine etc. I love vintage bakery imagery.

I love vintage cookbooks, but cake, cookie & dessert cookbooks specifically.

Real candy, edibles, etc. I'm a total sugar fiend!

I have a 1940's vintage cherry themed kitchen that I love to add items to. It's glossy white with red & vintage green accents.

I do like snarky things (i.e. "If you don't have anything nice to say, come sit next to me.")

I LOVE glitter. Handmade things that are well made. Milliners bits and bobbles.

I also have a thing for all things skull and bones. If you sent me something with the cupcake for the skull and a whisk & spoon/spatula for the crossbones, I'll be your best friend for life!

While I love sweet sugary vintage stuff I also have a punk rock side to me. I even have a bright pink streak in my hair (yes, I'm 37 years old). So any old school punk things would be really fun!

Things I'd Rather Not Receive

Not to be a grump, but things I'd rather not receive include: Things you'd buy an elementary school kid: pencils, stickers, erasers etc.

Disney or any other popular, mass produced animated character swag.

Please, no religious items, including angels, crosses or verses.

Favorite Colors

I love pink, especially cotton candy pink, really any pink but neon. I also love vintage aqua, vintage green (like the milk glass green).

Comment: Wow!!!!! These are so beautiful and you sent 2! They are technically and stylistically so different from what I do that it took me a few minutes to remind myself that it doesn't mean mine are bad, just different. They are so beautiful and precise. I don't have any of that color roving. Thank you sooooooo much!
Response: I'm so glad you liked them! They were both so different and I didn't know which one you'd like better, so I sent both. The beauty of swaps is that you get to see other people's styles, but there are thousands of ways to do a technique so no one way is "right". I'm sure your partner will love hers too :)
