I am a 39 yr old lady who lives in Brisbane Queensland Australia.

Im obsessed with Rainbows and Owls and Fairies. I particularly love Jasmine Becket-griffiths fairies (strangeling.com)

I love all things Manga/anime and Kawaii - anything from Japan really. Anything with cute characters.

I LOVE Zines. Of all types.

I love gorgeous photography like 74LimeLane.com.au.

I love stationary of any type. I LOVE snail mail. Of any type. I write a lot - just personal stuff but dream one day of being an author...of something.

Im learning to Draw, Knit, Crochet. All of which Im not real good at. But Im trying!

I sew. I sew some of my clothing. I have made some hand bags - fiddly but I love the end result. I like sewing things like soft toys and wallets, and um...anything funky and brightly coloured usually. Im trying to get into quilting but its just not doing it for me at the moment - I love the end result but the process is not holding me for the moment. Maybe I just havent found the right pattern. Am thinking of maybe trying doing one by hand instead of with the sewing machine - that may do it for me.

I craft. I am actually a bit of a magpie (bird) in that I kinda look at some type of craft and think 'ooh that looks fun', do it and then see the next thing. At the moment Im into creating stamps - like, rubber stamps for using with ink. Making paper products - not so much greeting cards so much as writing paper and post cards and prints. Ive worked as a screen printer for a while last year (fabric screen printing - theaandsami.com.au) and am thinking of doing some small stuff myself here at home.

I cook (and eat...lol). LOVE cook books and trying new cuisines. I have a very broad pallette.

I make glass beads as a hobby (lampworking), when I get the time - as in melting glass to make a bead. Email me if you want more info on that.

Im a web designer by trade but Im working just doing normal office stuff at the moment. Building a small business on the side - nothing to do with crafting or anything.

I am addicted to magazines like Peppermint, Frankie, Yen, Mollie Makes, Box. Anything a bit Indie, a bit arty.

I love art fairs, and craft fairs. We have a number of really good ones here in Australia. Like Finders Keepers (let me know if you want a link).

I believe in angels, and ghosts, and psychics. I love Abraham Hicks and the law of attraction. I love th epositivity and possibilities is presents.

I love to give much more than I like to recieve! Truly. I get a kick out of dreaming how my goodies will be recieved and loved.

I have 2 little people in my life - My Cousin's daughter and my God Son's son. Both under 2 currently (2011). Another on the way for my God Son so soon will be 3 little people. I love playing with them and trying to see life through their eyes.

I read a lot. Pretty much everything except Crime novels - I used to read those but have decided to try to keep more positivity in my life so have given them up for the moment. Im sticking to my Sci-Fi, Self Help, Inspirational and Romance books.

Does that give you a little insight into me?

If you want more specifics, youre very welcome to email me. Grin.
