I live just out of Nelson, New Zealand with my family on a small farm and I am studying towards a diploma of teaching (early childhood education). I like rock music and reading, especially books by Terry Pratchett. I collect hand made soft toys, and books by an author called Willard Price. I have a lialic point siamese cat named Tenzing (named after the climber) who is trouble looking for a place to happen.He is especially good at causing chaos right when you least expect or want it.

I love sewing and knitting but I must admit that I'm only learning to knit. I also do a small amount of beading. I love making softies and other toys and really love working with felt. I also love attempting quilting and am learning to needle felt.

My favourite colours are blue, green and black and I love skulls and cross bones. I like hello kitty, danchoo, tea pots, thrift shopping, sewing, beading, buttons, curling up with a good book and a cup of tea, Nightmare before christmas, and the idea of getting mail other than bills.

I don't like overly pink grirly things and a have an absoloute hate of spiders. I'm not a fan of gold jewelery sorry, I'm more of a silver girl. I wouldn't by choice buy white things. They always end up looking grubby no matter how hard I try to keep them clean. Or white chocolate.

Stationary, ANYTHING CATH KIDSTON, sewing supplies, felt, postcards, soft toys, fabric, notebooks in any size, beads, pencil cases, buttons, pin cushions, pens, pencils, toy and bag patterns or books, wool, handmade stuff, anything pirate themed (yaaaaaaargh!), Japanese craft books, Juxtapox magizines, wallets and purses, skulls and cross bones and anything cute!

I think that I should warn you that customs in New Zealand is pretty tight so please don't send me tea, leaves, meat products, foliage, untreated wood, feathers etc. Sorry.
