**** Update 4/27/2014**** I moved to Florida in late 2012 and left Swap Bot behind. I am now back and ready to swap like crazy!
Hello! I am a crafty girl! I sew, knit, crochet, etc. I am fairly new to this but have found it fun so far!! I love all things vintage (1940-1950's) and am currently working on a etsy shop of my own knitted and crocheted items! My favorite color is red! I am retired from the USNavy so I have an abundance of time to craft and create.
I love to crochet and knit and tend to search out items that are handmade. I also embroider and like to sew a bit. Right now its all about making things from natural fibers and being a "green" crafter. I have recently fell in Dotee doll love and adore the few I have received. I also have found that I like working with wool felt and am trying out some doll making!
Red! Red! Red! I love red! I am a lover of the 1940s to the late 1950s. I try to find vintage~esq clothing and hairstyles to incorporate into my everyday life! I adore anything in wool and red. I collect hair flowers and hair accessories. I love to cook and collect cook books and interesting cooking tools. I love Valentines day and all its trimmings! I love getting mail and sending it as well. I love thrift and vintage stores. I walk and do the thrift store stroll at least once a week. I love pinups of the 40's.
I am currently into singer song writters but like all music that is mellow and filled with emotion. I like Damien Rice, Ray Lamongtangue, The Swell Season and others like them.
I tend to either read for pleasure or the learn how to do something and I really like books that take place in the Carolina's i.e. Pat Conroy or Nicholas Sparks.
Things made in China, ATC's, Walmart, Hershey Chocolates.... ( I know...) Non recyclers. Driving. Cars. Milk.
