Birdlady

I rehabilitate injured/sick wild birds, birds are my passion along with crafting! I also enjoy yoga and have dabbled with Belly dancing! I am vegan, care very much about animal (and human!) welfare, and welfare of the Earth, love nature, fairies (not Disney!), poetry, secret gardens, goddess spirituality, moon, stars, flowers, crows, jackdaws, dragonflies, butterflies, seahorses, vintage postcards of women, spending time with friends, I'm happily attached, no kids, I'm 42, suffer with anxiety and bouts of depression, I dislike cruelty of any kind, also dislike racism, homophobia, sexism, selfishness. I have a silly sense of humour :) I enjoy working in a charity shop. I am unconventional, compassionate, caring, shy, but friendly, warm hearted. Favourite colours are pink (except very bright pink!) purple, dark green, copper, black, teal/duck egg blue, muted colours.

Love electro/synth (80's mostly), punk, ska, ambient, indie, goth...

Anything with depth and feeling. The Secret Garden, The Enchanted April, Le Grande Meaulnes, Tipping the Velvet, The Goose Girl, The Unbearable Lightness of Being, The Cry of a Bird

Same as for books! Plus comedies. Photographing Fairies, Mousehunt :) Need to think more about fave films..

The Mighty Boosh, Father Ted, The League of Gentlemen, Nighty Night, Scrubs, Green Wing, Spaced, Peep Show, IT Crowd. Love strange and silly comedy mostly!

I love scrapbooking, stamping, ATC's, matchbox swaps, circle journals, goody bag swaps, just getting into Inchies and Altered Art, also do occasional card making, also just getting into making handmade embellishments especially using felt and beads.

DISLIKE: overly cute or Disney, peel offs, bold designs, I'm not keen on yellow, lime, red, orange, gold, very bright colours, spotty or striped things, sport, cars, masculine, baby stuff, family themed craft things, sweets, chocolate, make up, mini pegs, shoes/handbags embellishments/papers, neon colours, holographic card

Favourite craft things are flowers (prefer not huge ones), bird things, copper or metal embellishments, pink (except very bright pink!) purple, black, dark green, teal/duck egg blue, vintage things, lace, pretty things, sparkly/glittery things, felt, poetical things, gems, love ribbon (especially flower pattern or pink or purple), brads, velvet, shabby chic, love rub ons, distressed things, inks, handmade embellishments, stickers, unusual treasures! Dragonlfies, butterflies, moon, stars. Pretty papers and fibres. Stamping supplies. Vintage images of women, fairies. Altered images. Would appreciate die cuts, especially birds or flowers as I don't have a die cutter. I will appreciate anything which you have put thought into :)

I am not a flaker, I enjoy putting packages together and hopefully making someone smile. I also pledge to rate everyone as soon as possible and to rate fairly :) I enjoy craft goody bag swaps, matchbox swaps, ATC swaps, inchies and twinchies, altered art, handmade embellishment swaps...

I AM INTERESTED IN ONE TO ONE SWAPS ALSO :)

I always love to make new friends with people I have things in common with, so don't be shy... :)
