About Me

I'm a software trainer who travels to client sites about half the time. My husband and I have no children. We dine out constantly just like the rest of Houston, Texas. I love things in rich jewel tones and pastels, elegant, classic, romantic, pretty, eclectic, cottage style, but nothing too cutesy (unless it's baby animals - they can't be too cute).

Favorite Music

Soft rock, new age, classic rock, celtic, old standards, classical, movie sound tracks and jazz.

Favorite Movies

Casablanca, Enchanted April, anything by Alfred Hitchcock, old classic black and white movies. Anything animated. Period Pieces with gorgeous costumes, just about anything but horror.

Favorite Television

Fringe, Warehouse 13, Dexter, Mad Men, CSI (all 3), Psyche, NCIS, and anything with a mystery just like the books I read. Also shows on History, Discovery, PBS, National Geographic, DYI or Biography that teach me something I didn't know.

Favorite Crafts

Paper crafts (collage, cards, quilling, etc), crochet, quilting, sewing, altered art, paper mache, painting, woodworking, clay, bead work, cross stitch, needlepoint, doll making. You name it, I'll try my hand at it.

My Likes and Dislikes

I realized my profile doesn't really have enough info to help someone trying to decide what to send me so I thought I'd make a list of my likes and dislikes.

~~LIKES~~

Ephemera of any kind - old photos, sheet music, pages out of books, interesting magazine clippings, used greeting cards, postcards, brochures, programs, certificates, maps, paper with inclusions, tags, business cards. If it's made from paper I'll take it.

Birds - Loons, Bluebirds, Sparrows and Owls, especially, but any kind

Seahorses and Sea Dragons, Jellyfish, Sea shells, Starfish - pictures, photos, toys, stuffies, etc

Hedgehogs and Penquins and Horses and Otters

Baby animals of any kind

People who read my blog and leave comments

Vintage thread crocheted potholders

Ladies handkerchiefs - old and new

Embellishments - sequins, buttons, ribbon, yarn, game pieces, brads, cut outs, etc, etc, etc

Miniature anything

Old linens - even ones with holes and stains that have interesting bits that can be salvaged

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers and all things gardening

Quilting stuff - especially little handmade quilted things like needle cases, pin cushions, coin purses, eyeglass cases, ornaments, etc

Chocolate, Tea, Chocolate, Salt Water Taffy, Chocolate, Nuts, Chocolate and Chocolate

~~DISLIKES~~

Candles - but only because I'm allergic to the smoke, so I can't burn them

Anything that smells of cigarette smoke - once again I'm allergic

Incense - see above

Heavy, pungent scents because they make me sneeze, even attar of roses, though light flower scents don't seem to bother me

Mittens and scarves and winter hats - I enjoy making them but don't have a lot of use for them in Houston, TX

Comment: I love the apron especially the roomy pockets that I can actually put things in!! The ribbon is perfect since i'm increasing my supply of sewing items. I'm using the appliques to make fabric necklaces that I saw on hollylovesart.blogspot.com. I'm also adding to my fabric stash so the fat quarters are also perfect for that. Thanks very much the packet actually turned out perfectly for me. Take care.
Response: Thank you - Enjoy - Vicki
