xx leaving my profile up as i am leaving a piece of me here s-b got me thru some difficult times and i have met some amazing people, truly!!! your little swapped treasures adorn my home! what tiny blesings!!! so onto happy swapping info about me:)

felting,crochet,knitting ( my skills here in knitting leave something to be desired in all honesty), atcs & embroidery, things you can make with paper & cutout images, collage, altered art, dotee's / stuffies /icicle dolls with an interesting theme... i am a novice sewer with only fly by night experience:) soap and candle making, natural crafts & things i can do with my children.

shrines rock! a girl can never have too many shrines around the house! i am so not kidding!

I ADORE HALLOWEEN and CHRISTMAS & VALENTINES crafts , especially vintage...

i first joined s-b in october 2006 and i swapped everything under the sun! now i stick mainly to handmade (with 1 partner) and a few swaps with themes i find interesting.

i am drawn to crafts with a darker, macabre theme (i.e. dia de los muertos, tim burton style...dark victorian, gothic, vampyre..etc....) as well as those with a shabby chic,( think amy butler) romantic , or thrift store "smells like my grandmas attic" theme. i adore the cultrual crafts of almost every country! (espically those of india and mexico)

i just joined suziblu's "underground art school" oh what fun, look for her ning network....i am now creating the whimsical girl art i have always dreamed of & i am SO into MIXED MEDIA!!!!!

Visit Suzi Blu's Les Petit Academy

i like matchboxes for all that ther are worth and i do a wee bit of simple beading,

*a note about my crafting

i must admit when i open my mail, every day i am amazed and inspired by so many crafters out there!! i am in some heavy company! my skills are fair and i craft everything from the heart((((*)))) i send only things i would be happy to get myself! however, many if not most of my craftss are made from recycled, upcycled and gifted materials. when i can afford it i do buy some things but know that i can find my crafty supplies anywhere. newspapers,packaging, closeout sales, second hand, you get the idea. (of course a girl is only as good as her trusty printer and internet connection!) so that being said, i do hope you enjoy my little creations!!

oh i also reuse packing materials-boxes and envies! you should too:)

very recently i have stumbled upon "extream primitive folk art dolls" and i am just SO taken by them!

thats me below if i were a doll!!!LOL

i love walking in the forest, we do it almost evey day, wildflowers, hooping, american tribal/folkloric bellydance, campy vampy burlesque, poi spinning,the color purple, the smell of roses, jasmine, vetivert and sandalwood, reading, the sound of my childrens laughter,eating/cooking ( in that order) listening to the sound of rain falling on the rooftop, silent films and their decadent stars, red wine,chocolates made with chili powder & curry brownies, music of all kinds...usually i can be found listening to indian devotional bhajans or world music, a HOT cuppa chai, i am back on COFFEE! saffron and cardamon, gay pride, pagan pride, our dog! she rocks...not the brightest candle on the cake but all to sweet,all things steampunk & noir, witchy, the goddess in all her forms, eco feminism, communing with nature thru ritual....you can use your imagination on that one.......living holistically is important to me, ayurveda is the framework for that in my life, ecstatic/trance dance is my movement meditation, that & my children! ......among other things.

i love crafting, its my sanity, i love etsy and i love opening the mailbox when i have the time for swapping:)
