i JUST made a blog! bear with me while i figure it out! been a bicycling vegan for 9 yrs, i do not own a car, and do not drive (although i do have a driver's licence)...have two rescue cats who rule the roost(Skully, and Mealy) and one rescue mutt (Mia 1/2 austrailian shepherd 1/2 beagle)...work in an independent, local bakery (making pastries and cakes, and decorating) i adore cooking, my boyfriend and love to find and make new vegan recipes, we do not eat out, unless it is a very special occasion. we also both enjoy making 3D papertoys. i do much of my work in colored pencil, and you will receive almost only hand drawn/hand made items from me. i really love/prefer receiving hand made/drawn items as well...IF IT'S EMBROIDERY, I'M IN! i taught myself to embroider when i was 8 and i've been doing it since!

my absolute favorite is 'confederacy of dunces', but 'apathy and other small victories' is a close second. i also like 'a clockwork orange', 'cat's cradle', 'slaughterhouse five', 'pride and prejudice', 52 projects....i love to read satires, especially political satire.

i'm a vegan so i obviously don't like items portraying or alluding to animal abuse. i'm a non-smoker, so smoke fumes aren't my style either.

i'm never expecting anything, but if you happen to have extra tea, cat toys, dog toys, embroidry floss, or embroidery supplies in general...BUT MOST OF ALL, i would love a paper crane made by YOU!!

EMBROIDERY! i embroidering constantly, atcs, making stencils, and especially 3D papercraft, really i'm up for any new project that makes me think from new angles and perspectives, and get my brain in gear
