About Me

I'm a 40-something SAHM & part time student. I have a 13 yo DS, 12 yo DD & 9 yo DD. I also have 1 cat. I love vintage/ retro style, indie crafts, sewing, crochet, scrapbooking & other crafty pursuits. I like chrome, classic cars & muscle cars. I don't really like rustic or country type crafting.

I'm pro-treat. I love chocolate- unloaded & loaded (nuts, fruits, chiles, it's all good), cookies & toffee. However, it's quite hot here from May to September, so as much as it pains me to write this, it's probably better not to send stuff that can melt during that time period.

About books- I love to read! I enjoy fiction and non- fiction. I like just about anything except for religious literature, romance and hard-core science fiction. I don't mind thriller, but I'm not so much into horror either. I love a good mystery, fantasy, 'chick- lit', biographies, true crime, & classics. Some of my favorite authors right now are Patrick Rothfuss, George R.R. Martin, Banana Yoshimito, Nancy Mitford, & Joanne Harris.

On colors- I like most colors. I'm not a huge fan of fluorescents or pastels. My sewing area is pink & brown. I really like lime green, pink/brown, blue/brown, orange, almost all greens & browns. I like red stuff, but don't wear red.

Also, I am a big fan of reduce, reuse, recycle. I try to reuse boxes, packing materials, tissue paper, and anything else that will hold up to it. I love handcrafted items and try to support small, local businesses & artists. I strive to buy local, organic & fair trade when possible.

Favorite Music

I love most kinds of music... alternative, old country, rockabilly, blues, jazz, classical, classic rock, and swing music. My favorite artists are Eurythmics, Annie Lennox, Ani DiFranco, Patsy Cline, Bob Wills, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Louis Prima, Robert Johnson, Rancid & Social Distortion. I'm not a huge fan of most hip-hop, rap or current country.

Favorite Movies

I like action, independent film, documentaries, thrillers, classics, spaghetti westerns, mystery & foreign films. I'm not a big fan of horror films or 'pull my finger' type humor. Some movies I'll always watch if they're on are Long Kiss Goodnight, Thelma and Louise, Steel Magnolias, The Thin Man, Hudson Hawk, Tank Girl, Lilo and Stitch, About a Boy, Chocolat, Royal Tennenbaums, Blast From the Past, Everything is Illuminated & French Kiss.

Favorite Television

I don't really watch TV. I loved Coupling on BBC. I like old & new Doctor Who. In theory, I like Sherlock, Wallander, & Hinterland.

Favorite Crafts

I don't get much crafting time right now b/c my kids are into EVERYTHING!!! We do stuff together, but it's more for their fulfillment than mine, KWIM? I sew clothes, & occasionally something for the house, late at night. I carry crocheting & needlework around w/ me for those 'stolen moments'. These days I seem to be really into making cards. One day, when I can trust the kids to not sharpie the furniture, poke each other w/ needles, or ingest the glue I will spend more time expanding my craft horizons. (This section needs to be updated.)

Comment: Thank you for the message in regards as to it being late, I appreciate that - and a heart since it was a double-disc set, that's very cool. As for what you mentioned in your letter as for sending out an extra for being late - thanks for the offer! The 40 & 50's stuff kinda intrigues me - my experience to that is rather limited to Bobby Darin, Buddy Holly, Glenn Miller, so anything else would be something new for me - thanks!

Comment: Wow: 3 centos and a bunch of other goodies--thank you! I enjoyed reading your centos; I love the line "Its ugliness is a matter of custom" and the way you used it. The Polaroid stickers are cool, the mini-painting will go up on my bulletin board, and the art postcards will definitely be used! And how fun that you were within an hour of my house not too long ago.... Thanks for the swap!

Hi Vicky, Sorry to bother, but was just wondering if you've ever received my "what I listened to in high school" cd yet, just curious if it made it or not. Thanks, Tina (momilani510)

Hi. I just wanted to let you know that your "One Woman's Perspective" cd will be gong out today. I wound up working late last night, so I didn't get to the post office as planned. Sorry for the slight delay. :/

Hi It is now 8 days past the send date for the handmade gift for you.

If I do not get a pm back from you I will assume that you are not going to send out your package.

I will find an angel to full fill this swap for you and advise your partner to rate you with a 1.

So if you intend to send to your partner please let me know.

Your concerned swap host, Pam

Everything in the package was just perfect... you went above and beyond, and I can tell you read my profile. I can't thank you enough. :) I posted pictures of your great package on my flickr .
