faethality

I'm 26 and live in small town NH with my perfect partner, Aj, and our 3 annoyingly adorable kitties:

🦝Jinx - the eldest and sassiest by far

🌑Luna - our middle child and the most curious

🌸Kaida - the baby, who is just that, the sweet little baby

While this is technically my first time using swap-bot myself, I grew up with a swap-bot mom, so I've been around the game for quite some time. I remember my mom setting up swaps with other swap-bot moms and their kids so we could all participate in the fun. So big thanks to @kiwivandal for keeping me crafty since 1999.

I obviously like all of us here love crafting and consider myself a serial hobbyist. But aside from that I am a huge fashion lover, a baker, concert goer, movie watcher, reader, and a major espresso martini enthusiast.

I think it is also fair to say that I am basically a professional nerd. I co-host a tabletop gaming convention every spring in VT. I play dungeons and dragons as often as I can and my dice collection is ever growing and I'd even say over-flowing.

And most important (of course) my favorite color is sunset orange. 🌇

Traveling Journal: I organized a group of 8 of us around the US to swap journals and create spreads. We currently each have our 5th journal, so we are officially half way! I call this project "The Travelling Journal Diaries" and have a series dedicated to it on my tik tok of the same username.

Paper Crafts: Making ATCs!

Sewing: Hemming my partner's pants (usually lol)

Crochet/Knitting: A pink and black star shaped purse, one for me, and one for my AGD. A cute spring crochet sweater. And I'm still trying to learn how to knit socks...
