About Me

I'm a fun-loving, easy going kinda girl, mostly found wearing jeans and cut-up band tees. I'm originally from the South West of England, leaving me with an accent most people term as 'farmer', but I love it. I wouldn't change it for the world! I now live in the South East of England, with my boyfriend, our landlord and a feline overlord called Bela. I love buttons and ribbon, and spend far too much money on them. I love to create pretty, new things to wear utilising these things!

I'm a redhead, and despite all the idiots who like to laugh at that fact, I wouldn't dye my hair if you paid me (well...maybe if you paid me enough!), I'm a red-head through and through!

I love corsetry and most things relating to Victorian England. My other two favourite historical periods are the American Civil War and the American 1950's.

I love to roleplay, and miss playing D&D with my friends back home. I love dice, and almost in the same vein, I love playing cards. You can never have too many packs of playing cards. Wherever I go in the world I try and buy playing cards!

My favourite animals in the world are hedgehogs. Anything with hedgehogs on it and I'll want to buy it! Even Sonic the Hedgehog!

Favorite Music

Mostly, I'm a heavy metal fan, but I'll give most things a listen. My big favourite bands are My Dying Bride and Nightwish. I also like Iron Maiden, Tarot, Emilie Autumn, Within Temptation, Dragonforce, Alestorm, Turisas, Bon Jovi, and oddly, Bruce Springsteen (you can thank my boyfriend for that one!)

Favorite Books

I'll read anything that's within reading distance if I'm bored, but my favourite things to read are sci-fi and fastasy, especially steam-punk style stuff. One of my favourite ever books is Gone With The Wind.

Favorite Movies

I'm a big kid at heart and love Disney films, especially ones made in the 80s and 90s. I also like films directed by Kevin Smith, and like all nerds, I can quote pretty much the whole Star Wars Trilogy by heart!

Favorite Television

I don't seem to watch much TV...I end up watching shows on DVD once they've been cancelled! Some of my favourites though are Firefly, Veronica Mars, Peep Show, Blackadder, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dr Who, How I Met Your Mother, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes, Arrested Development...I could go on...

Favorite Crafts

I mostly like to knit and cross-stitch, but I also make cards, and occasionally make cute things from felt. I've always wanted to try scrap-booking. To be honest, I'll try anything once!

Comment: Thank you, Talia! I LOVE both my lip balms~and the flavors are perfect! I'm sure you were not too happy with having to send international, but I will admit I was super excited to receive something from as far away as the UK! My daughter thought it was the greatest thing to receive a pkg~and lip balm at that b/c she's 8 and loves lipgloss~from so far away! She's really into maps and traveling so everytime we get something or hear a story of a far away land, she goes up to her room and looks it up on her wall map! Again, thanks so much for the lipbalms!!!!!!!! Tanya (BrauerGirl)

Comment: I can't believe that you can shrink your waist down six inches. I am in awe. You get a star just for that! :) Thank you so much for participating in my swap. I hope you enjoyed it. -Adriana
Response: Haha, I think you misunderstood - I can get my waist down 6 inches, from about 36 to 30! I probably didn't phrase that well. Sorry. I feel bad now.
