I love to make things using all kinds of mediums. Sewing and knitting are currently where I spend most my creating time. I love giving and getting gifts, so swaping is perfect for me!

I recently have become hooked on listening to crafting pod casts on my i-pod nano (a fantastic christmas present!).

I love to read (don't have much time to) craft and make deserts. I work as a theatre administrator--we produce live theatre 12 months a year.

I love all things red. Raisinets are my favorite candy. Things retro and vintage are of particular interest to me. I love being thrifty.

My first crafting love is sewing. My etsy store, Boutique Girl Gifts, focuses on gifts for babies and toddlers, with a few aprons and totebags for mom thrown in for good measure.

I've recently become a knitter. I haven't ventured far out of the square or rectangle knitting box, but have made a small sweater for my goddaughter, and a couple small hats. I'm interested in learning how to make socks next. I bought a book, but have none of the other requesite supplies. Perhaps a lovely swap partner will help me out!

I've also dabbled in cross stitch and paper crafts (cards and stamping). I've tried to get the hang of crochet...not yet, but it would help if I praticed, I think.
