About Me

** So sorry, I had a death in the family and was late on some of my swaps. Sorry!**

PLEASE contact me if my item does not arrive, I seem to be having a mail issue, so please please let me know, I have been having to mail things out a second time! I am not too sure as to what is going on, but I am getting back alot of mail that has become "damaged" (ripped open etc) I always put extra postage, "please do not bend", and hand to the postal worker, but I am not sure what is happening. Some I get back are fine, not even postmarked!

Hello!!!

I am a happy, eclectic, crafter, I love to try something new every now and then!

I enjoy sewing, though I am still very amateur; I just started last year or so. I love hand sewing with felt, and making tote bags and other quirky things. I also enjoy making ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and small collages. I am trying my hand at carving a few stamps, which has been interesting so far! I am looking to get into more types of crafts, I have knitted a bit in the past, and would love to learn how to make amigurmi and needle felt. I love handmade things, of all kinds!

I am absolutely obsessed with sweets and baked goods! I love cakes and pies, cupcakes, breads, all of that! They are so pretty to look at and so good to eat!

I have very odd collecting habits; I collect old photographs and tin types of people I do not know. I also love to find old old books, sheet music, labels, book plates, and other vintage-y things, whether it is for an art project or just for fun. My house is a mix of old/vintage world modern and contemporary. I have kokeshi and Russian nesting dolls scattered throughout, but I wouldn’t say that the “vintage look� best describes my style. I’m just odd, and like way too many things!

I am very inspired by French things, and have a slight tendency to make images with Marie Antoinette, crowns, fleur de lis, and other little tidbits. I also love French chic art with umbrellas, and my favorite movie is in fact Les Parapluies de Cherbourg.

I would love to travel, but my job and responsibilities make that a little hard right now. I want to go to Peru (Machu Picchu), Ecuador,Argentina (Patagonia), and Spain. I know one day I will get there, but for now I just have to save and dream!!

Culture is a huge interest for me. I love learning about different cultures, people, and places. I enjoy learning what people eat, speak, dance, rituals, traditions, and day to day living in their culture. Folk Art, traditional Art, and any cultural art I love.

When I am not working or trying to make crafts, I love to go to the ballet and theatre. I love to garden, bake, and go to festivals and open air markets. I am an active yoga practitioner and study mindful meditation and taichi. I love flowers and plants of all kinds, and have many in my house that I take care of. I love cats too, and I have a few! I am also a sucker for cute things!! I also love postcards!

Favorite Movies

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, Amelie, A Very Long Engagement, Indochine,

Favorite Music

Jehro, Joshua Radin, Shakti Rhythms, Bjork,

Favorite Crafts

I enjoy making felt toys, fabric collages, and I am trying my hand at many different things! I love origami, screen/lino/wood/ printed items, bags, and cute things! I love to quilt and patchwork, but I am new at it as well! I very much admire amigurumi!

Favorite Books

The Time Traveler's Wife, Eat Pray Love, Hip Tranquil Chick, Chocolate and Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen, Kitchen Confidential, The Namesake, Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress,

My Pledge To You

I promise to mail out my swaps. I take a lot of care and time into every swap, and enjoy swapping quite a bit. Each swap I participate in I take seriously. I have no intention of “flaking� or not sending. I have only once been drastically late, due to a sudden death of an immediate family member. I am making this pledge on my page to show in good faith that I am a dedicated swapper and will never “not send�. This is my public pledge to you.

Comment: I appreciate you communicating with me to let me know they were going to be late, but it's now April 22 and they were due out by March 18. I sent you a message on 4/15 and it's unread, and I noticed your last login is 4/11--are you gone from SB?? I will gladly change it if I receive something. It's too bad because my other partner ALSO flaked on me for this swap, so I didn't get ANY owl ATCs :( -Rachel

So good to read on your profile that you wish to visit Spain. It is actually much much better than it looks on tourist brochures (and food is delicious, one of the main reasons I came back after a 10-stint abroad). Greetings!

Have you received the Altered Playing Card swap yet that I angeled for Bookwrangler? I sent them 14th April and the other partner has had hers.

ncpelican on Apr 10, 2008:
