About Me

A vegetarian hippy goth with a fashion degree, who works for a bead company and still likes a touch of glamour and the strange...

I love handmade items, livejournal, stand up alternative comedy, obscure geeky things, books, textures and colour...

And too many full stops...

And I love private swaps. Just ask :o)

Favorite Music

Favorite Television

Dr Who, Father Ted, Red Dwarf, Supernatural, Torchwood, CSI, NCIS, Masterchef, Man vs Wild...

Favorite Movies

Little Shop of Horrors, Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Italian Job...

Favorite Crafts

I went to university to study fashion and textiles design. In particular I studied surface decoration, and multimedia textiles with some machine and hand embroidery, papermaking, collage...

I also knit and crochet. For a few years I was a self employed dressmaker... I now work for a bead and jewellery making supplies company...

Comment: Oh my goodness Sarah - I absolutely love this swap! Thank you for wrapping it up so beautifully and the little rattie is perfect. Such cute details on the little critter as well {swoon}. Thank you for sending a wonderful swap and being a great swap partner. I feel spoilt :)
Response: Phew! I'm glad you like him. his ears caused a lot of debate with my work colleagtues. Some said they should have been smaller, some said more pointy. I liked him how he was but figured that if he wasn't quite right, you could always trim them to look more like one of your own :)

Comment: ☀☀☀☀☀☀ Believe it or not, I just picked my package up from my post office yesterday. It was dated sent from you on April 8th. I have NO idea where it's been hiding but it makes me even more nervous about our lousy postal system. =( Anyway, I want to thank you for such a lovely assortment of beading goodies! I love everything you sent me and am anxious to start a new project with my wonderful beads. Thanks, Sarah, you did a great job! ☀☀☀☀☀☀
Response: Glad it finally got to you. Phew! I think it may be the UK psotal service as amother parcel posted by me a couple of months ago got to the USA yesterday, and I had to send one to Switzerland twice! Thankyou for being so understanding :)
