About Me

I've became a grammy to Matt on December 24, 2006. I knit, crochet, like to travel and I love movies. I love the color pink. I also like blue and lilac. I don't care much for orange and I really dislike mint (or any light) green. I like forest green, though. I love crosswords and reading. I like soft things. I like to travel and currently travel as often as I can to go visit my daughter, son-in-law and grandson. I like dogs (small) and cats but have no pets. I am not much for perfume but I like scented shower gels and body sprays, mostly raspberry and PLEASE absolutely NO VANILLA! If you're thinking about sending me any item of clothing, please ask me first since I am a bit larger than an XL and live in northern California where it's over 100 most of the summer and yet cold enough for hats, scarves and gloves in the winter. Easy but beautiful patterns (knit or crochet). I have a very serious pattern addiction - I collect easy patterns from everywhere, especially for small projects. I love snowmen! I like fairies and for some odd reason, garden gnomes as long as they're not wearing yellow or green. I have a soft spot in my heart for butterflies and certain cartoon characters like Wile E. Coyote, Droopy, Opus, Tennessee Tuxedo and Bullwinkle. I DO NOT SCRAPBOOK SO PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME ANY SCRAPBOOKING ITEMS EXCEPT STICKERS. Handmade cards are great!!.

Favorite Music

Neil Diamond, Dixie Chicks, Carrie Underwood, 70's music (think Barry Manilow, Linda Ronstadt and the Bee Gees) but NO heavy metal or acid rock

Favorite Movies

Wizard of Oz, Gone With the Wind, Paternity, Tombstone, 50 First Dates, You've Got Mail, People Will Talk (50's Cary Grant movie)

Favorite Television

Law & Order (any of them!),Lost, CSI (Miami or LV), 24, Bones, House, Criminal Minds, The Closer and Eureka

Favorite Crafts

Knitting, crochet

Other Stuff

If you want to send extras and have no idea what might work for me, here's some helpful hints. I don't drink tea but do drink coffee and cocoa but just plain coffee, nothing flavored. I prefer milk chocolate to dark although but all chocolate is welcome. Please, no chewy chocolates or caramels. I like them but am unable to chew them. I always like a good bookmark, free, store-bought or home-made. Little notecards are good. I like roses and yellow ducks and cute white bunny rabbits and yellow chicks. I especially like them on stickers. I appreciate an easy recipe for one. If you have no idea of what to send or have an idea but are not sure I'd like it, please, I do NOT find it insulting if you ask. I prefer that you ask and I will do the same for you if I am unsure.

About Swapping

I always look at your profile and if I have any doubts, I will PM you. I always send my packages and almost always they are early. It's not meant as pressure to partners, just that I am an early person. I was born 2 weeks early! And if you ask anyone who knows me, they will tell you I am always the first person to arrive. So please if you do not get an envelope or package from me by the deadline, PM me because I do not want to disappoint anyone!

Wishlist

My wish list is not really big and mostly I am wishing for things I don't have, do or know much about. There are a couple of items on it that are related to what crafts I do but mostly not. Here's my list:

A dotee doll, A fairy wish jar, A tote bag to haul a knitting project around, Pink yarn, non-acrylic but fun fur is OK, Handmade notecards with snowmen or yellow ducks, handmade socks!

Recent Happenings...

I am in the middle of moving and am supposed to be completely out of one place and in another right before Thanksgiving. I will be living out of boxes and a storage locker for a while so be patient with me. BUT... if you want to start a private swap, please contact me. I am always up for a private rated swap. Be forewarned, though. If you don't send to me, I will give you a 1. I ALWAYS rate.

Comment: Loved your blog! I am envious of your knitting/crochet skills, beautiful :) I liked your non-craft blog as well. I can so relate to being in a rut!
Response: Glad you liked my blogs. I finally got around to updating them. I usually do it on Saturday but was gone this past weekend and now I'm struggling with a cold. But I did it anyway!
