About Me

YES, I am so greedy that I have two Amazon wishlists! Actually, I have FOUR...one for each of my two kids, one for me, and then a separate one just for the knitting books that I want, because there were so many! I love presents, surprises, good mail days, and lots of other "swappy" things...including seeing someone's else's happiness when I can return the favor.

Favorite Music

I love Jack Johnson, Alkaline Trio, Barenaked Ladies, The Beatles, Coldplay, Pussycat Dolls, Lily Allen, Grateful Dead, Garth Brooks, and a whole lot more. We usually just listen to the rock station on the radio, but my iPod is always going at work.

Favorite Books

I love sci-fi and fantasy, as well as any creative and interesting fiction, and even some non-fiction (GASP). My favorite authors are Charles de Lint, George R. R. Martin, Laurell K. Hamilton, J.D. Robb, and Jack Kerouac. I also enjoy books on self help, health & spirituality, business, poetry (e. e. cummings, allen ginsberg, shakespeare).

Favorite Movies

Again with the sci-fi and fantasy! Star Wars is a CLASSIC, also The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I also love Baz Luhrman films, such as Moulin Rouge or William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet. Love Legend, The Princess Bride, Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, any of those fantasy movies from when I was a kid.

Favorite Television

I watch a TON...House, Heroes, CSI (the original ONLY), NCIS, Moonlight, Bionic Woman, Entourage, Grey's Anatomy, Supernatural. Plus shows like Scrapbooking and Knitty Gritty on the DIY network!

Favorite Crafts

I love any and all crafts really...I spend most of my time knitting and scrapbooking, though I also enjoy crochet, painting, printmaking, home decorating, and computer design. I want to get into altered books, ATC's, quilting, spinning, weaving, stamping, cardmaking, origami, and pretty much everything if I ever have the time. I've also made handmade paper, beadwork projects, sculptures, pottery, you name it. I'll try anything once! : )

Favorite Colors

I love green and blue, but all deep jewel tones are beautiful. For some reason I just tend to be drawn towards cool colors! I am definitely NOT a pastel person. I like colorful things in general, so anything with a bright mix is appreciated!

Favorite Animals

I like lizards, giraffes, koalas, and really any other animals. Including regular old cats and dogs (I have two dogs and numerous barn cats).

Randomness

I really love fairy tales & mythology, Gestalt and Jungian psychology, world religions, American football (Pittsburgh Steelers and Ohio State Buckeyes), UFC (Mixed Martial Arts fighting), geeky technology stuff, pampering items, and anything handmade.

Comment: oh my. This yarn is beautiful! Silk cashmere, probably in the top skeins I own. Thank you very much!
Response: Oh yes, I'm always so generous, it had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with feeling guilty for being late on sending!! : ) I'm glad you enjoyed it...I thought white was kind of boring, so I decided to go with luxury to make up for the lack of color!

Comment: I'll change when I receive it
Response: I contacted this user about shipping late and she agreed that it was okay but would rate a 1 until she received it. When I contacted for her address (swap was closed when I was ready to ship) she had gone inactive and never responded. I quit swapping for...well five years now...because I had a hard time find a swap that interested me with the "1" rating. :(

Comment: Thanks for the CD! It arrived yesterday and I haven't had a chance to listen to it but I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I always liked that Ryan Adam's cover of Wonderwall.

Comment: I love the purple yarn and i can see the opal and mother or pearl aspect so you are golden. My little man likes the other yarn so they are sure to be slippers for him thanks
Response: YEA! I'm glad you like it, I've just been in a "yarn funk" and I couldn't find anything I liked!

Comment: Yoda! You sent me YODA! I actually squealed when I saw him. My co-workers think I'm insane, but my fellow Star Wars fans are all impressed. Your craftsmanship is incredible, too; it's hard to believe this is your first amigurumi! I love the little stick, too. (And the Star Wars Yoda Power Mints are great!) :) Don't worry; I'll take very good care of Master Yoda!
Response: I am so glad that you like it! I also bought a Darth Vader pattern, so I can't decide whether I want to re-do Yoda for myself, or try the new one (for my hubby - he loves Darth Vader!)

Comment: Jessica: Loved everything in the package!! The sock yarns are both awesome and the ass-crylic was delightfully awful. I had to fight my son for the Laughy Taffy. Looking forward ot using the grapefruit scented Eucalan.
Response: I'm glad you like it, you'll have to try something fun with that Lion Brand! : )

Comment: Thank you SOOOO much! It was so exciting opening the box and seeing all that black! hehe. The box and the journal were my favorite things, and of course I can definitely always use those charcoal pencils! thanks again!
Response: I tried to find more "artsy" stuff for you, usually I seem to lean more towards the crafty side of things! It's good to know that worked out!

Comment: I really liked your additional comments about why you want to read certain books and/or what appeals to you. Very special. Also -- thanks for the tea!! I've never had white tea before and I can't wait to try it. And I love those cloth mesh tea-bags! Great package, thank you.
Response: I thought it made sense to give a little summary, otherwise how would you know if you would like to read it? I'm glad it worked so well for you!

Response: No problem! My daughter and I had a lot of fun making these!

The mail deadline for the green swap was 5 days ago. I really need to know what you're doing with the swap.

Please note that the deadline to mail your package for the White Yarn Junkies swap was today. If you'll be late getting it out please let your partner and I know ASAP. Thanks!

I made my beaded glasses holder today from the kit you sent me in the Crafty Odds N'Ends Swap.I love it. Maybe now I'll stop pulling my hair out from wearing my glasses on top of my head. Just wanted to thank you again and let you know I think of you every time I use something you sent. LindaRuthie
