About Me

Hi, I am looking forward to using this site, i am new to crafting and hope i can achieve the standards i have seen!
FAVOURITE MUSIC I enjoy all kinds, Kings of Leon, White stripes,The Tiger lillies, much to my sons disgust! When i was a lot younger i used to go and see Free, i loved Paul Kossoff, and was able to meet his dad David, an author quite some time after his sons death, at a book reading. FAVOURITE FILMS My kids think i have weird taste in films i like unusual things, Amelie with Audrey Tatu is one i love, Little miss sunshine, and i have been collecting I Love Lucy videos and DVds, she was a great comedienne. FAVOURITE PLACES, I love all things far eastern, the culture being so different, the old images of japanese people, Chinese and asian indian hold a great fascination for me, though i have never been.I would love to be able to visit Mexico or Cuba, the culture, music dance and colours seem so vibrant i would like its crumbling grandeur. The art of Mexico interests me, the retablo paintings can be funny and the simplicity of the style appeals to me, i also like the day of the dead images and models. For a short break Venice is my favourite city. I enjoy reading Donna Leon novels as they are set in Venice! I have been able to visit Venice about five times and i never get sick of just wandering around the streets, it is so beautiful. Craft wise, I am just learning about textiles and the many applications.Until this year i had never sewn and have learned a little about applique, how to use a machine, free motion embroidery, soluble fibres, fabric ink and hand embroidery. I have also learned some beading skills at a local group meeting in a church hall. FAVOURITE THINGS, Apart from my 2 kids and 2 cats,who were abandoned the cats not the kids. I love silver and turquoise jewellery, i got some pieces many years ago when i visited Florida. I love my large Russian dolls my mam brought me back from her visit to Russia not long after it began to open up to the west. FAVOURITE COLOUR, If i had to choose one it would probably be blue in its many shades, however i like colour all kinds! FAVOURITE ACTIVITY, I have just discovered by going to a local art studio that i am not too bad with pastels and have created about 7 landscape pieces and one for my son of Jimi Hendrix, that was a difficult one, but i finished it and was quite proud, best of all the son thought it acceptable too! well i hope my profile is a little better. Thankyou to the lady that suggested i add some more, as this is all new to me and i was grateful for the guidance. Looking forward to swapping. Bye

Comment: I receive a most beautiful ("Button Fairy") today.. and she is gorgeous!!!!! plus some wonderful extras which are greatly appreciated. Though what you sent is not a Button Dotee as per the swap instructions.. There are several site examples in the comments section. I'm still giving a 5 and heart because I can understand the confusion. Plus I dearly LOVE what you sent. I can really see the extra work and time you put into making her and she is beautiful. Plus in reading my profile you sent some wonderful items.!! Many Thanks!!!.. HUGS..
Response: I am so pleased you liked it. It was my first ever, I thought it was what was required i'l take another look at examples. Thanks
