About Me

Greetings, I'm a single-by-choice mom to a beautiful, longhaired, 5 year old boy. He is in half-day HeadStart combined with some lessons after, and loving it.

After 3 months our apartment is getting that lived in feel. Starting to figure out where things go and how to keep them picked up.
http://www.squalorsurvivors.com/ is keeping me in line. Checking back into my RV this winter, I'd rate it about 4-6. My new apartment is NOT going to get bad. With illnesses, we are about a 2, 'but the closets and drawers are empty'.

I make and sell recreations of games that are at least 400 years old. toys too. things like the ancestor to chess, and the ancestor to backgammon.

I will finally set up an office/manufacturing space right across the street from our apartment.

This is my kind of humor: http://craftbits.com/viewProject.do?projectID=1097

Favorite Crafts

I started drop spinning about 2 years ago and bought a Babe spinning wheel for my holiday gift. Taught myself to crochet probably 10 years ago, knitting for about 20 years, Gram tried to teach me to knit when I was a kid. didn't like it then.... The numbers sound big, but I haven't completed many projects. I seem to only play with yarn during the winter.

FO: a TV blanket for my brother. many hats, wrist warmers, and baby booties. a scarf, and a crown for my son. 2 market bags. more hats.

WIP: spinning 2 fleeces of raw Navajo-Churro wool. reclaiming sweaters for the yarn.

Favorites and Wish List

Colors: jewel tones, natural sheep colors Fiber: wool, silk, alpaca, fine cotton (I have enough acrylic)

Wish List:

*Great looking game boards to hang on the wall, with pieces or without

*unique fibers to spin, wool, silk, alpaca

*small fridge magnets (letters, shapes, random words, puzzles, paper dolls, games)

*large world map, USA maps, navagation charts

*easy reader science books for Carlin. How it works type books. I love dragons and historical fantasy.

*homeschool/afterschooling projects and ideas. science and how-to's

Comment: I have always thought that Navajo-Churro was a coarse fiber. If only looking at it, you would think so, but the fiber you sent me changed my mind! I especially like the feel of Al's wool! It's quite soft! Thanks!

Comment: Bryanna, your lovely package arrived today. (I didn't know you are just down the road from me!) I absolutely loved everything and cannot wait to play. Let your son know that the stitch markers will be well loved. I have seen a few patterns that call for just those markers and did not have them. Thank you Bryanna! If you ever want to meet up sometime just let me know.

Comment: Not only was this not $5 worth, but I ended up having to pay $2.62 postage due because you illegally used a priority rate envelope! Not good at all.
Response: I re-used a durable Tyvek envelope. Sent it from the local USPS, who should have had me send it priority mail, not 1st. This was my very first swap and I would love constructive criticism about what to include.

Thanks so much for the puppets. They have already provided hours of entertainment. He is starting a puppet collection :) Is there anything special that your son likes that I could send in return. No one ever tagged me in the forum, so I received but never sent. Let me know :) Thanks, Amber and Noah
