About Me

I am taking a break from Swapbot as I am very busy with work and family right now. I hope to be back sometime in the future. Thank you to all my lovely partners I've swapped with :-)

I would like to make amigurumi in exchange for items from my Etsy Favourites. Take a look at my Flickr page for examples of my work, and send me a message if you're insterested.

If you haven't received a swap from me, please let me know and I will resend. I have no intentions of flaking on anyone, but I also don't have much faith in the UK postal system at times ;-)

I recycle envelopes, but I don't use ones that are damaged so your items will be safe. If you receive something from me that you don't want or can't use feel free to resend it to someone else!

badge

I love to make amigurumi. I leave some of my creations in public places for people to take home. I have just been commissioned to make some amigurumi maneki nekos for publicity material for a local charity.

I live in the north-east of England with my partner and my two rescue dogs.

Favorite Crafts

Right now I'm all about crochet and amigurumi. But I also like zentangling/doodling and cross stitch.

I love Japanese Kawaii items - ribbon, buttons, stickers - and anything that has a kawaii face on it :-)

I love handmade items, especially ones that use recycled materials.

Favourite colours

Anything bright. I love multi coloured, hand dyed or self striping yarn. I can find a use for just about any colour though!

Food:

I love Japanese food - mochi, noodles, miso soup, shuu-mai dumplings. I take a Bento to work and college every day so I like anything to do with Bento (boxes, little containers etc.).

I also love Indian/Nepali food and sweets. My favourite Indian sweet is Gulab Jamun and Jalebis.

I love chocolate and candy too - especially anything sour!

Ninja Alert!

Other hobbies

I spend a lot of time reading or crocheting - I make crochet squares and toys for Knit-A-Square. I love to make amigurumi.

I love baking cakes and cookies. Right now my favourites are lemon drizzle cake and carrot cake. But I love anything to do with chocolate or cinnamon too. I like to cook Indian and Nepalese food.

I walk my dogs for a couple of hours every day and am very lucky to live right on the edge of town where I can get out into the fields and woods and my dogs can swim in the river.

Comment: Thank you so much for the frog amigurumi! My mother absolutely loved it! (Even though she practically had to pry it out of my hands; I wanted to keep it for myself!) And thanks so much for the fruit pastilles. I bought a package of the same kind at a British food shop near my house recently and fell in love with them so I was thrilled to get some more! Thanks again :-)
Response: I could make you another one if you'd like one for yourself! So glad your mum likes him, he was fun to make :-)

Comment: ZOMG!!! I saw Patrick on the SB homepage when you posted him on your Flickr and thought to myself "I LOVE HIM!" He's really mine?!?! AIIIIIIIIIEEEE!!! He came at the perfect time too. I was screaming at my math homework when my hubby brought in the mail. And there, waiting for me, was someone more than willing to scream at my math homework AND nom nom it! Perfect! He's not gracing me with his presence on my tv just waiting for some more homework to help me destroy :-D Thank you so much! He is VERY well loved!
Response: I'm so glad you like him! He's got the perfect face for screaming and nomming :-)
