lovestitches

We just bought our first house, yay! So I'm busy setting that up but hoping to fit in a few swaps too.

I love kool aid sachets (the sugar free ones) for dyeing wool. Any colours in a variety of flavours would be GREAT.

I'm a 31 yr old crafter who has tried them all and mastered none but my love lies mostly with fabric and sewing. I love fabrics, ribbons, buttons, all the little bits and pieces that go with it. My newest love is crochet! I would walk over hot coals for a skein of Malabrigo to try! I don't like cross stitch.

I have a huge interest in Waldorf style education and crafts, although I don't know much about it as yet. I really love natural materials and am trying to use more of them in my own crafts. Wool felt. Wool roving for stuffing toys. Wooden toys.

I love fun fabrics, especially boy ones which are so hard to find, vintage embroidered linens, vintage anything, anything handmade. I love cute things, like kawaii but am not into Disney or anything cutesy except Beatrix Potter.

I love thrift stores far too much. I virtually never leave one empty handed.

I have way too many buttons and ribbons than I will be able to use anytime soon.

Japanese fabrics, books, magazines etc are the best! Really anything from another country with some thought put into it makes me happy.

I love fabric, especially linen or 100% cotton. I love cute prints on my fabric. I don't like neon colours or stretch fabrics - not brave enough to sew stretch yet!

I'm on Weight Watchers (35lb so far!) so please no chocolate or candy (okay maybe just a teeny tiny bit ahem)

Sewing! I love to sew! I find it very relaxing, despite the constant cursing at my machine. My newest love is crochet which I love and could spend all day doing. i like to spend a few weeks/months doing one constantly then spend some time on the other.

red and white, very light blue

We have two cats called Ginga and Rastus and I love them to bits. Anything for them is welcome. I also love elephants.

Iron and Wine or anything in that style, most new country, Blackmores Night, 80's anthems - the cheesier the better, Amy Winehouse, Soul, Jazz, Putumayo.

MAS*H, murder mysteries, Dr Who. I don't watch a lot of TV. I'm very much a book geek. Except when I'm oerving on Doctor Who - bring back David Tennant!

I like to read the Brother Cadfael mysteries, I like to sleep too much, I occasionally work with preschool aged kids and have a big interest in Waldorf styled education/lifestyle, I like to bake bread and cookies. Then I love to eat them. Like I said - Weight Watchers!
