Hallo? Ello? Hey? Hi?

Yo!

Yeah. My name is Rachel. I'm currently a college student majoring in General Business.

Right now I live with my darling family, which includes my mother, my father, and my older sister, in our quaint home out in the country. Okay, well, not really. We live a few miles away from a small town out in New Mexico. We've lived in this house for a few years. We love it.

Oh, I forgot to mention. There are also 5 cats, 2 chihuahuas, 2 rottweilers, 2 rats, and 2 parakeets sharing our house with us; as well as 5 stray cats that live on our property.

I have no allergies, and quite a few pets. Please be aware of that!

Hats.

I absolutely love hats. Although this obsession seems to have died a bit. I still love hats. I don't really wear them. I just like having them around and trying them on every once in awhile (is that weird?) Probably.

You can't go wrong with hats though.

Anime/Manga.

I also am into anime/manga. It's pretty sweet stuff. I don't tend to watch/read it all the time, but I really do enjoy it. Another things you can't go wrong with.

Games.

You have to love games (okay, you don't have to, but I do). RPGs or adventure games are my faves. I really love games from Atlus (Disgaea, Rhapsody, Phantom Brave, etc). You also can't forget about Harvest Moon and Pokemon though!

And please don't forget the all-time faves of Zelda and Mario!

Plushies. Be them sewn, crocheted, or knitted. I love them all! I am kind of obsessed with them too.

Basically anything cute or "kawaii".

Well, better give this my best shot before I go down in flames.

And what better way to waste space then to add a few more sections, am I right? Yes. Yes I am.

I have an obsession with all types of crafts. I love to learn new ones at every chance I get. More often than not though after starting a few projects with the new craft I grow tired and quit. Sadly I am one of those people who bore easily and leave things barely started or half finished.

My long time favorite craft that I seem to fall back on is crochet. It all started when I was a small girl and my grandmother sat me down and place a crochet hook in my hand (cue flashback)...Anyway! Yeah, my granny taught me how to crochet a chain and that's about it. I picked up the hook again a decade or more later, with my attention focused on amigurumi. I've finished a few plushies (quite a few actually), and a hat. I've started a blanket (afghan) but doubt that I'll see it to completion. This is the craft though that I can see myself doing often and finishing projects.

The next on the list would be knitting (my absolute fave!). I just love the look of the stuff. I have yet to finish anything knitted though. I forcibly (sp?) taught myself to knit all because I desperately wanted an entrelac scarf. Started that, got through a few rows, and stopped. It's still sitting on my pair of chopstick needles waiting to be frogged. I once got close to finishing a reversible double knitted scarf (by close I mean I got maybe an eigth of the way done)....then there was my new obsession a hat (I'm going to finish this one dang it!)...and that one practice piece...and then a plushie... Errr...well I think that's enough about knitting.

Quilting was fun for awhile too. My christmas quilt I started with my mom is still waiting for us. Maybe this year will be the year we start.

I also have dabbled in general sewing and embroidery. Like I've said I'm open to trying new crafts and hope to gain more experiences.

Yeah..the other/misc box.

It's awesome. You would think that I could've talked more about myself. Err...
