About Me


Sorry for the lapse in my swaps. For those who didn't get a package, I'm sending them out this weekend. Way late, I apologize.


I am a graphic designer. I love color. In my living room I'm playing with a palette of muted blues and black and greys. In the bedroom, bold patterns in red and white and black and white.

I haven't sent a personal letter by snail mail for years because I've been sucked into the Web 2.0 world. So in my "free time" you can often find me sitting at my desk reading my feeds, catching up on tv shows or surfing etsy. My platform of choice, definitely a mac, but right now I use a pc. I'm a cross-platform sort of girl and I intend to stay that way. It's a cross-platform sort of world we live in.

I love to cook and bake, but my little pink retro kitchen is only 5 feet wide. So I spend a lot more time hand washing my dishes than anything else.

Favorite Artists and Designers

Mark Rothko, Piet Mondrian, Charles & Ray Eames, Justin Amundson

Favorite Crafts

I've done a little of everything; silk screening, sewing, cooking & baking, food styling, photography, copperplate printing, painting & drawing, collage and scrap booking, knitting & crocheting... I really like experimenting with different mediums and materials so I tend to gather a lot of supplies...a lot of supplies that I had to sell at a garage sell when I moved :( But I'm building my collection again, which just means more new projects and more new things to try.

Favorite Music

About music, I listen to what I want to. Yes, I cross genres. Here's a few that have 5 stars in my ipod right now:

When you say nothing at all by Union Station and Alison Krauss | Heartbeat by Annie | Shadow Stabbing by Cake | Sweet Child of Mine by Guns N' Roses | Vincent by Josh Groban | How Your Halo Fell by Roper | Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol | Sometimes You Can't Make it on Your Own by U2 | Sister Christian by Night Ranger | Crown by Collective Soul | 1234 by Feist

Things I really want!

Black and White Prints. Red and White Prints. Solid Black, White, or Red Textured Fabrics.

Vintage Buttons, Vintage Ribbons, Vintage Prints

Eames anything.

Comment: Nothing received as of May 26, message not replied to. It is really sad when someone marks "sent" but, strangely, no one receives anything. Your other partners in my swap got nothing either. I hope you enjoyed the parcels you received, people work hard and pay postage when sending them out!

Comment: I received my package. I contacted the cordinator, and the owner in regards to the actual swap items. I've also taken many photos of the items that were in bad shape. They were on my flickr for a couple weeks. They were not all of 100% cotton which the swap required, they had ink pen markings on them where they were marked for cutting, cut too short of the 5 inch requirement, rust pin marks. If I were to clean them up by cutting the ink markings off they would be even shorter than the 5 inches. I have given her plenty of time before putting up this rating. She said she would replace those squares that were bad and I've been waiting. As soon as I receive I will change rating. I also offered to send back the other squares because she stated they were cut from her grandmothers clothing/quilting material, still waiting on a reply to the address. 3/17/08 regarding your response-I will let you know when they arrive. And I did like the squares but not the markings on them or the ones that weren't 100% cotton. I'm sorry. I will still send back the others if you send your address. I don't want there to be hard feelings over this. 3/22 I received a new package from her today and have changed my rating from a 3 to a 5. Thank You
Response: I sent out replacement squares this week, you should have them soon. Hope you like them!

Comment: Thanks for the really cool buttons> I love vintage buttons, if only they could talk and tell us where they have been. The fabric scraps came at a perfect time. I am working on some spool dolls and I need small bits of different fabric. Thanks for being a great swap partner.
