About Me

I'm a 27 year old orthodontic lab tech who lives in Washington state, on the Eastside. I'm a Pagan who loves tattoos (I have four), drinking tea, yarn, Asian ball-jointed dolls (I have 4 Pullips, one Dal, and a PukiFee Ante), ReMent, rubber ducks, Lilo & Stitch, and yummy smelling bath products. I also have a strange love for narwhals, sloths, and snails (cute, faux ones, not slimy real ones. =P)

I collect Pullips and tiny BJDs - the family includes Stella (Pullip Paja), Ruby (Pullip Latte), Aislinn (Pullip Assa), Lenore (Custom Pullip Stica), Linden (Dal Frara), a little Pullip and little Dal, and the latest addition to the family, my new PukiFee Ante, Sparrow. My newest collection, though silly, is the Monster High dolls. I have Lagoona Blue, Frankie Stein, and Draculaura.

I also suffer from fibromyalgia, so I like to have things to keep my hands busy over the long bouts of chronic fatigue and pain.

Favorite Crafts

I'm a knitter and a jewelry maker mostly, but have been known to dabble in sewing and embroidery. I have an intense love for Manos del Uruguay and Malabrigo yarns and gemstone or cool pressed glass beads of all kinds. A girl can never have too many skeins of yarn or too many shiny things

Favorite Books

Terry Pratchett's Discworld/Wee Free Men series, Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, Neil Gaiman (especially Good Omens/The Graveyard Book), Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Crusie, Douglas Adams, Holly Black, Sherwood Smith, Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, old school Mercedes Lackey, Christopher Moore, and most any kind of fantasy and historical genre.

I'm recently a little obsessed with audiobooks and audible.com, since it makes work that much easier to deal with. ^_~

Favorite Television

CSI:NY, Warehouse 13, Psych, Leverage, Castle, Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, Supernatural, Eureka, Firefly, Pushing Daisies, The Dresden Files, Due South

Favorite Music

Depeche Mode, Charlotte Martin, Emilie Autumn, Ingrid Michaelson, Sarah McLachlan, Matt Nathanson, Scott Andrew LePera, Missy Higgins, Deb Talan, Patty Griffin, Joshua Radin, Loreena McKennitt, Enya, The Weepies, Sara Bareilles, Maroon 5, Jason Mraz, Blue Oyster Cult, Boston, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Sheila Chandra, Michael Franti & Spearhead (power to the peaceful!), Delerium, Billy Talent, Buck 65, D'Goya, Eliza Carthy, Daft Punk, Dar Williams, Flogging Molly, Frou Frou/Imogen Heap, HIM, Garbage, Within Temptation, Jonatha Brooke

Comment: YODA!! Floppy EARS!! So adorably cute! I now feel extremely inadequate not having an awesome crafty skill of my own. I love the scrabble tiles, I was amazed to hear they were hand-done! absolutely awesome, thank you so much. :) I've waited for Thori so that I could complete a few last items for the swap - between the two of us, you're guaranteed to <3 :)
Response: Yay! So glad you liked everything *grin* Craftyiness comes in all forms - I'm hopeless with techy things <3 I really enjoyed swapping with you, and here's many more to come! <3
