Hello! I'm Kelly, 29 from Pennsylvania. I have a BS in Information Technology.

I'm unemployed at the moment :( I'm doing my best to get my new Etsy shop up and running - www.etsy.craftlockian.com I hope you'll stop by =)

I love tea (Earl Grey), gadgets, crafts (fave is knitting), Sherlock Holmes, Dr Who, Merlin, British comedies, Zombies, gaming, brownies, animals, Snow Patrol, purple, owls...

I have an adopted Doxie named Dutchess (sadly passed away Dec. 29, 2012), two guinea pigs, gerbil and Robo hamster.

Snow Patrol is my favorite!

I'm a big fan of indie rock bands. I have supported Snow Patrol since the 90's. It's amazing how their music transformed over the years. You can learn a lot from their songs.

I've never been to any of their concerts :( I own a radio studio only copy of their album Eyes Open :D secret songs/non released songs

Anything Sci-Fi, Mystery, Anime, and Horror. I'm not a fan of chick flicks.

Merlin, Dr. Who, Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett), House M.D., The Simpsons, The Walking Dead, Archer, Ringer, New Girl, Big Bang Theory, How I met your Mother, Chuck, Little Britain, Doc Martin, Father Ted, Red Dwarf, IT Crowd...Lots!

Growing up my Dad and I would make tea, and watch Sherlock Holmes shows/movies before bed :) That's something I would love to pass down to my future kids.

Crafting is such a passion of mine I decided to open an online yarn shop called Sheep Bum Yarn (www.sheepbum.com). I love the feel of plushy wool. My dream is to someday have a brick and mortar store.

I love going to craft shows to see other people's work.

I mainly cross stitch, knit, and crochet. I do research everyday to learn new techniques and ideas.

I just started dyeing my own yarn. This is my first hand dyed piece. What do you think?

I have a blog @ Craftlockian.com. I do my best to keep it up to date. I came up with the name by combining Crafts + Sherlock :)

I love handmade items! I spend a lot of time looking at people's creations on Etsy.

Vintage, stamps, penny press coins, Disney (esp. Beauty & the Beast), owls, yarn, rocks, stickers, coins, pens... pouches to hold my collections in :)

If you love to collect stickers, you should definitely sign up for GetGlue. Get free stickers in the mail! My stickers:

I was called a pack rat when I was a kid. I've gotten better though. I keep things because you never know when you'll need it for crafting or fixing things.

Sadly I'm lactose intolerant :( I didn't know I was dairy sensitive until about six years ago. I was visiting Scotland for a few months. Every week I would go to Costco and get a cheesy baked potato. This thing was huge with lots of cheese! I woke one Morning to the worst pain that I actually passed out. I got to stay an extra week because of it :) When I got home I went to the doctor and she said to me that I have IBS/lactose intolerance. That explains a lot! I remember when I was a kid having massive tummy pains after eating a meal with loads of diary. I feel great now and have actually lost some weight! I have almond milk in my cereal, put Daiya cheese on my homemade pizzas. Yummy! I can have a little dairy with no problem. I love chocolate!

I've always been allergic to cats. Asthma, sneezing...the whole bit. boo
