About Me

I'm a Southern California girl. I was born and raised here, with the exception of a three year stint in Boston, MA. I live in Orange, CA with my boyfriend. We live with our two cats Rupert and Dexter both rescued short hair cats. Rupert is Orange and Dexter is Black (my Halloween Kitties). Dexter enjoys playing with fake mice and Rupert likes the plastic tabs that you pull off to open the tops of milk jugs (he is easy to please). They both love catnip.

I love the outdoors and camping..

My biggest dilema is that I work two jobs = 60ish hours a week and I have such crafty aspirations that there are nights where I don't sleep because of crafting.

I absolutely adore the fall and I love baseball and reading.

Favorite Movies

kevin smith movies, harry potter, bull durham, major league, almost famous, cruel intentions, practical magic

Favorite Music

green day, ramones, steve miller band, journey, classic rock, alternative, rap, country, techno, house, jungle (we have turntables at our house so there is always interesting music on)

Favorite Crafts

Quilting, paper piecing, crochet, recycled materials, photography.

Right now I am addicted to FABRIC and have plans to make my four best friends amazing quilts.

I also make corkboards from used wine corks and wooden wine boxes. I love trying to reduce my impact by reusing items that others might throw in the trash. I hope to get into bookbinding soon for the same reason, I seem to come across a lot of usable paper.

Favorite Television

Robot Chicken, the Simpsons, How I Met Your Mother, CSI Las Vegas, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Gilmore Girls

Favorite Books

harry potter, twilight, lord of the rings, anne rice, I love vampire books, witchy fiction, informative books on wicca

Wish List

FQs (Pinup girls, tattoo fabric)

5" charm squares (Halloween, Stars, Earth Tones, Christmas).

Halloweeny fabrics.

Handmade pin cushion.

I am always looking for wine corks. Not the plastic ones though, please. If you have any in your "junk drawer" that you want to get rid of, please send em my way. They will be reused in a project. Thanks!

Likes

Elemental Items (Earth, Air, Fire, Water). Hippie stuff. Items with a bohemian feel. Hemp. Earth tones. Blues and deep purples. Halloween themed stuff. Pirates. Witches. Wicca. Silver.

Dislikes

Too much pink. Girly stuff. licorice. Hello Kitty. Barbie. Gold.

Works in Progress

I am working on a Harry Potter quilt and am about to start a Twilight themed quilt as well. I love fandoms.

I am collecting fabric for a star themed charm quilt, an earth toned charm quilt, a Christmas charm quilt and a pinup girl quilt.

Just had to leave an extra note to let you know how much I appreciate the bag and fabric you sent. This has to be the best swap I've participated in so far. You really hit the nail on the head with this one. Also, just noticed you and my husband have the same birthday except he was born in 1976. Funky, huh?
