About Me

Hello! I'm Jessica, 42 years old, & living in California, USA. I'm a witchy goth crazy cat lady who is beyond introverted. I wouldn't change it for the world.

Favorite Colors: black, dark grey, teal (the darker the better), & purple (the darker the better)

Yes, I am pagan. No, that doesn't mean I want to change that fact.

Please don't send me religious items.

profile updated May 25, 2023

Favorite Crafts

crocheting, knitting, mixed media, art journaling, handmade post cards

You can see more about it on my IG: crochetjessica or my website crochetjessica.com

Favorite Music

I love heavy metal/rock genre. More in depth the genres are metalcore, goth rock, EBM, some industrial, nu-metal, and some grunge.

My favorite bands are Lord Of the Lost, BlutEngel, Mono Inc, Motionless In White, Slipknot, Bullet For My Valentine, Ice Nine Kills, Architects, Bad Omens, Korn, Nirvana, Avatar, Rammstein, Oomph, & Kim Dracula

Pen Pals

I would love to have you as a pen pal!

  • If I contact you outside a swap to be pen pals I will write first, as I asked you to take the time out of your day first.
  • If you contact me first, I expect you to write the first letter.
  • I only do snail mail letters.
  • Write something in your letter that I can respond to in my return letter.
  • I do not mind your religion or political beliefs. With that being said I will not argue about them with you either or have a discussion about them in letters unless they directly effect one or both of us.
  • International is welcome.
  • More then likely, I will type my letters. I have RA & most times it is hard to hand write anything.

Swaps

I swap decos, fb/fs, and handmade postcards.

decos: I am getting back into deco swapping. -If you have one of mine message me & I will give you my current address. -I do art type decos. I'll take any kind to swap so no worries. I just no longer tape stuff on pages. -If you have a homer in the USA you want to send me with a swap - please do so. I'll get it home.

friendship books & sheets
I will swap any amount. Currently I usually have to send new ones (ones I make). I am trying to build up a stash so I can send mainly established ones.

Handmade Postcards I only swap handmade postcards that are written one. They can be sent anyway that is preferable for you. I do NOT swap naked ones.

I am a Spoonie..

If I am not online for a few days, a few weeks it is more then likely due to my Lupus and/or Rheumatoid Arthritis. Both are 'uncontrolled'. One minute I can be fine, the next I feel like I am going to die or my hands/arms refuse to work.

Where Was I?

As you see I am an 'Original Member' & most my swaps are form 8 or so years ago. I seemed to drop off the face of the planet here, on flickr, & yahoo groups. There was multiple reasons for this.

  • I was dying. It was lucky I found a doctor who believed women had a right to their body & fought to save me.
  • Family dynamics changed drastically & sent me into a severe depression.
  • I discovered Raverly swaps, which didn't last long.
  • I started designing & publishing my own crochet patterns.

Some of you know my Mom - Jo - from yahoo groups. If you doubt me about any of this & want proof, I suppose you could ask her. However I don't think she would be thrilled she had to bring some of it up.

Comment: Thanks! I can go on for hours about planners, too. The binder-style planner was kind of a bust for me when I tried it last year. It seemed so convenient to be able to add/remove/rearrange pages, but I couldn't keep up with making my own structure.

Comment: Thank for all the fun decos, so many of them I can't wait to work on. I really like your page for the book quote🎈 lol!! I just saw this quote on a car & I sending on "I hope something good happens to you today!" xxMuggleMom
Response: The entire time I was doing that page I had an Ice Nine Kills song in my head. I read that book when I was 12 or 13 & 30 years later I still look down drains just in case. Didn't help with my dislike of clowns either lol.

OMG!!! I have RARELY been as delighted as I was when opening the package you sent me for YGM #5. That potholder is a riot and so amazingly cute. You "got" me by reading my profile and made the perfect thing for me. I have been using the heck out of it, and it brings a smile every time. Thank you so much for your thoughtfulness.
