Keshet

Hey folks! I took a little break, and now I'm back :) i will probably be doing more sewing and crafty swaps than ATC swaps these days though. I'm very excited to be swapping again! 💜

I'm a wife and mom first, and also a quilter, geocacher, knitter, backpacker, reader, baker, crafter, toy maker, camper, and more.....

Hobbies: pen pals, baking, doll making, sewing, quilting, rubber stamp making, mail art, collecting currency, reading, learning new things, geocaching, camping, hiking, paper crafts, knitting

Likes: adventures, natural fibers, mail art, being outside, Frontier Girls (scouting), going to the craft store, dinosaurs, owls, turtles, the color purple, knitting murder mysteries, foxes, bright colors and jewel tones (especially purple and green), embellishment.

I have a pet tortiose so I love all things turtle related :)

If I had more time or a yard I would be an urban homesteader.

Things I would love to recieve: fabric, quilting or knitting magazines, handmade goodies, washi tape, stickers, embellishments for scrapbooks, a5 envelopes, tea (mint, chamomile, oolong), fabric scraps, gel pens,

10 Fun facts about me: 1) pen palled for 15 years, took a ten year break & now I'm at it again 2) I love to bake but rarely eat what I've baked because I've already spent too much time with it. 3) I've lived on both coasts and the middle of the country 4) I'd rather be seeing most times 5) I want to write everything down but I won't keep a diary 6) I won't wear a watch 7) I published a book 8) I don't own a pair of shorts or pants 9) people describe me as being the busiest non working person they know. they don't realize I work because I don't do traditional 9-5 at an office. I own two businesses and do freelance work all from home. 10) I'm learning Hebrew

Classical - Bach & Vivaldi mainly. Also a big fan of country & what would probably be described as coffeehouse rock. You know, like the stuff they play at a coffee house that you are so sure you could sing along with while you're in the car but then you realize you're not a singer....

Knitting murder mysteries. Yup. It's really a thing. Maggie Sefton writes a series.

Cozy mysteries in general.

Harry Potter. Need I say more? :)

Other than that I mainly read non fiction. Shalom Arush is a fav.

I don't watch much tv these days mainly because I don't own a television, but when I do I enjoy NCIS or The Mentalist.

Sewing is by far my favorite. I love to quilt, make clothing, create toys, and sew all sorts of other little projects.

I don't celebrate traditional holidays, like Valentines Day or Christmas. So please don't send me items relating to holidays. If you're my swap partner & want to send me something related to a holiday that I do celebrate, message me & I'll let you know what's coming up. Thank you!

On that note, please don't send me anything related to religion. Thank you :)

Please don't send food items other than tea. I rarely eat packaged foods so it would really just go to waste with me.

I also don't like recipe cards or cats or kawaii.

I also dislike boring envelopes. Make them art! :)

Hmmm.... I don't collect much these days. But cotton fabric scraps of a reasonable size are always welcome :) at least 2"x2" square and I can use it.

I really really really love vintage postcards (hint hint). The older the better! Always naked, written and stamped. Unless I sign up for a swap that specifically requires the postcard to be in an envelope, I want you to write :) I love a tidbit about your day or a nice memory.

I've actually been thinking all day about what kind of postcards I'd like. I love vintage architecture ones. I also would like a postcard that represents something special to you, but you have to explain why, like if it's an art piece tell me why you like it or if it's a local PC tell me why your town/state is special. Other than that I'm not sure lol I like unicorns, boxers (with floppy ears, especially brindle) & bull mastiffs, foxes, hedgehogs, art, turtles, and the ocean.

Please don't send ad postcards, free postcards, or handmade unless the swap calls for it.
