MonkeyKnitter

*** I fell away from swapping for several years. Not sure how that happened! I received a mysterious coloring page in the mail yesterday with no name or info. It was beautifully colored and made me think of Swap-bot, so here I am. :) I'm married and have 2 children. Senior and freshman in high school next year. We rescue dachshunds of all ages. We currently have 2 miniature long hairs, Dexter and Ginger. I love working on projects for my family and friends. I enjoy all kinds of crafting, but like most people, lack the time to craft as much as I'd like. :)

PLEASE RATE!!!!!! I have had a few 'non-raters' and it drives me crazy. :) I work very hard on EVERY swap I am in. Please show the same effort by at least rating as per the swap-bot agreement and guidelines. Thank you!

Knitting, sewing, embroidery, drawing, sketching.

40's through today. I love the Beatles, Proclaimers, Duffy, Grateful Dead. (Lesh is More) Squire Nut Zippers, Brian Setzer

I'm not an avid reader, but an eclectic one. Harry Potter, David Sedaris, Jane Austen. I love picking up books at thrift stores/library sales. I admit that the cover art is usually what reels me in. (Mysteries and ghost stories) I won't pick up a book for months, then devour several within a week and a half. I'll then re-donate. :) .

I don't like conflict or gore. I love really well done period pieces, specially when they follow the actual book.

Nightmare before Christmas, Dogma, Pride & Prejudice (Colin Firth), Sence & Sensibility (Alan Rickman), Shanghai Noon, H.Potter flicks, Lord of the Rings Trilogy, Star Wars (the original trilogy), Mystery Men, State and Main

Earthy colors: greens, blues, browns. Asian inspired, Indian inspired. Jack Skellington, sheep, Boba Fett, fleur-de-lis, medieval illuminations, lilly of the valley, nature, wine, subtle is good. :) LOVE Halloween, skulls, Dia de los Muertos.

neon colors not my favorite
