About Me

I love animals, crafting, books, sewing, stationary and stickers, fabric scraps and getting real mail.. I'm definitely a re-purposer and try to be environmentally conscious by reusing things if I can.

Favorite Books

Young Adult Fiction, Chick-lit, Vampire-Witchy stuff, anything that isn't religious or political
Where's Waldo kid books
Old Quilting/Sewing/Homemaking books
Paper Dolls
Celebrity Gossip mags Bernstein Bears
Dick and Jane kid books
Moxie Girl magazine (out of print, but was a fave when I was a teen!)

I am on a mission to read all of the books on my bookshelf! The problem is I keep acquiring new ones. It's like they just materialize up there or something.

Things I LOVE

What I would most love in a swap? Fabric scraps. Even small ones. I am making pin wheel quilting squares right now which use some really small pieces and I like variety!

No candy thank you though! References to these things are fine though. Coffee too.

Stuff I like to Thrift!

I love to thrift store hunt for fun baubles or things that are obscure. It seems like I always end up or look for the same things over and over! Here's a list of stuff I like thrifting for:

  • Fun coffee mugs that communicate how grumpy I am in the morning

  • Stationary

-Books from my childhood

  • Sewing Notions (old and new!)

  • Fun Fabric Remnants from clothes I can turn into a quilt. This is how my grandma taught me and it was fun to do. She grew up in the depression era and saved or reused everything! She taught me how to quilt and I still do things the way she taught me all those years ago.

  • Flannel (again for quilting) I'm especially partial to flannel because it's so cozy and comes in some fun prints.

  • Dresses or Clothes for my 16 month old daughter. I have almost completely outfitted her thus far on thrifted items (or garage sales or hand-me-downs or gifts). I'm proud of that and she still looks frickin' cute. She's tall for her age. Tall and skinny. I have no idea where she gets this from. She's in 18-24 months right now.

  • Fun T-shirts with silly cartoons in size large. I especially love anything reminiscent of the 80s and 90s. Hello Carebears! Hello Sesame Street! Yeah, I occasionally wear a shirt that has Monster from the Muppets on it to work. What?! I do what I want! (Shameless Miley Cyrus reference...lol)

  • Quilting or Sewing Books. The best ones are from the 60s or 70s, but love them all!

  • Anything funky. Did I mention I love the 60s and 70s era! Oh my gosh, my mom always said I should have been born during that time.

  • VW Beetle miniature cars. Old models, before they switched up the styling.

  • Fun socks that are obviously new. There's no reason anyone should wear plain white socks. Why would you give these away?!

  • Silver (real or not) necklaces. Delicate and made back in the day. Things were just made better back then, am I right?! Some of the old gold ones are cool too since the bright shininess has worn off, so it looks more silver.

Favorite Music

I like a lot of everything, but mostly rock, pop, some metal. 80s hairbands of course.

I tend to only like one or two songs from any given band or singer. With the exception of Paramore. I love Paramore.

Favorite Themes

Retro/Hippie
Dogs
Cats
Sewing
Travel
Late 80s or 90s cartoons
Fun Monsters (happy ones, not icky ones)
Coffee
Stuff that looks like food, but isn't really food
Minnesota

Honestly, I'm fairly easy to please :)
