About Me

I am an artist who is in love with miniatures, video games, art history, obscure and weird TV media, old technology, repairing things, letter writing! In a nutshell, I am interested in lots of things. I have a snarky but respectful sense of humor, and love writing long, rambling letters. Also, stickers!

I am a 38 year old mom to a 4 year old dude. I was a professional pattern maker and seamstress for many years. I miss my job, but feel lucky to have this time with my kiddo. Also, exhausted and cranky. Where's my chocolate?

If you're a swap partner and looking for ideas, look below for a simple list. I would write more about my specific interest, but I find those matter less than a person who you connect with.

International pals are welcomed and loved!

Favorite Hobbies

Letter writing: Penpals, Fountain Pens, Stationery, Postage stamps, Stickers

Miniatures (dollhouses and minis, not dolls)

Video Games (PC and Switch)

Art History & history inspired projects

Favorite Television

Comment: Thanks for the fun goodies especially the address labels but my name was spelled wrong. Don't think you are the only one who misspells my name. 97.50% of people do.

Response: Oh that won't do! New labels incoming!!!

Comment: Thank you so much! I had no idea you and Maria coordinated to make sure that I don't get the same papers! I loved the papers so much though! Thank you! And I loved the mini tarot cards! Where did you find them? I've been trying to look around for them but I just can't seem to find them anywhere! Also, your handwriting is absolutely beautiful and the fountain pen and the ink look stunning! Anyway, thank you so so much for the lovely papers and the extras. Take care :)

Response: Thank you! The tarot card stickers are from STICKII. :) I don't see them on the website, though. Very glad you liked the stationery!!! PS: My handwriting only looks good with that pen. I don't know what magic it has!
