10th March 2010 I'm having my 2nd baby any day now, so if I don't get back to you right away, it most likely means that I'm frantically trying to finish the nursery or timing my contractions :) I'll get back to you as soon as I can. - Lili

HEADS-UP FOR SWAP PARTNERS! I've had a lot of trouble with the mail lately both with the one leaving and the one coming in. My letters are getting lost in the postal system and it seems some haven't even left the post office (I use a different one now). Some take a looong time to arrive (month or even longer).

If you do not receive anything from me and the swap has been marked as sent, please do contact me and I'll re-send gladly. I don't want anyone to be left without their swap. I hope you don't hold waiting for the swap against me as I really try to get my swaps to everyone on time :)

If I haven't received your swap in a resonable amount of time, I'll let you know (or you can contact me if you are getting worried). I won't rate you with a 1 until we've discussed the missing mail, so don't worry :)

ABOUT ME I usually go by the name Lili or Lily online. I'm closing in on the 30s. I am still a student for a little while longer (one more year) and I'm doing 3 diplomas at once, all related to making clothes and hats. I am a mother of one wild toddler girl and expecting our second baby. I live with my fiance, daughter and 2 cats and a dog.

I'm not a total stranger to swapping, but haven't done it for a couple of years now, so I guess I'm considered a "newbie" :)

I have always loved drawing and painting. Lately my drawings have mostly been of clothing and I would love to broaden the subjets to something else as well.

I used to make ATCs but had to quit all kinds of art for a long while due to some health problems and have only recently started experimenting with paper arts again.

I can sew well, but don't do that much at home since I do it all the time at school. I sew clothes, bags and all sorts of decorative things. I really love beads, sequins, lace and embroidery and can spend hours decorating the items I make.

MOVIES - I am a huge cinema lover and am especially into foreign language films and the indie variety. I usually love anything that has beautiful cinematography. Due to my studies I do also love anything with historical costumes or otherwise outstanding costuming. At the moment The Regency seems to be my favorite period.

MUSIC - I listen to many kinds of music. Some of my current favorites include The Pierces, The Ting Tings, Gabriella Cilmi, Shivaree, Manu Chao, Emiliana Torrini, Tegan & Sara and Bjork.

TV - I do have a lot of guilty pleasures on TV. I'm a very addicted to Survivor and ANTM. Non-reality shows that I love and enjoy are all versions of CSI, Bones, Gossip Girl, Grey's Anatomy and Fringe. Some already ended shows that I consider still my favorites are Dead Like Me, My So-Called Life and Battlestar Galactica.

FASHION - I follow the world of fashion quite lot and love to check out scans of fashion editorials from magazines around the world. My favorite fashion Photographers are Camilla Ã…krans and Ellen von Unwerth and my favorite models atm are Tanya Dziahileva and Daul Kim. My favorite designers include Anna Sui, Alexander McQueen, Alberta Ferretti and Luisa Beccaria
