About Me

I like the weird world of animal life. Ranging from animated pink hippo's on a bycicle to the real world of zoological fenomena. Animals amuse me and make me marvel at life.

Favorite cuties are bumblebees, squirrels, cats and cows.

Favorite Books

  • Pippi Longstocking,
  • Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
  • The Elegance of the Hedgehog.
  • illustrated childrenbooks
  • Also all zoological books including those about small life such as bacteria and cells. Illustrated children books are a delight too.

Favorite Crafts

spinning, knitting, sewing, embroidery, drawing.

Favorite Movies

  • Amelie
  • Trois Couleurs: Bleu
  • Iceage
  • Those real life backyard-safari-movies. You know, where ladybugs are as big as cars and we follow this one bug trying to get a lump of dung to its layer but it is stuck on a thorn in the ground and keeps spinning on it no matter how much he pushes it.

Favorite Colors

  • bold orange
  • saturated yellow
  • green
  • purple
  • No neons or pastels for me.

Handmades

I like natural, renewable materials such as wool, wood, glass, seashell, bamboo, paper, silk. I am a fool for tiny handmade pincushions and tiny shiny handmade x-mas-tree ornaments. Actually anything tiny and shiny! Handmades are a way of spreading love in the world, I feel.

I really do my best to make you something special. Hope it shows :)

Do NOT send me

  • plastic
  • perfumed items
  • food or drinkstuff.
  • when it comes to wool/fiber I do not work with acrylics or superwash.

More about me

I am married, live on a little homestead in the woods, eat a ketogenic diet and am healing from ME/CFS/Adrenal Fatigue. I need to rest a lot and thusly am usually covered in cats, books, knitting and a hat. I have a mastersdegree in science and was trained as an artist and for the life of me, I cannot choose what pleases me more: the delight of experiencing beauty or the accomplishment of understanding a principle.

Welcome to Swap-Bot! Since you are interested in the old days, you might like to read the novels of one of my favorite authors, Sandra Dallas. Alice's Tulips is a good choice.
