About Me

I am a very content Stay At Home Mum to a crazy little girl aka "The Punk".

We've recently moved "to the country" and are enjoying the quiet and greenery, but freezing!

I'm a very lapsed vegan, pretty much vego right now though.

We spend our days playing, crafting and generally making a mess. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Favorite Music

I have pretty diverse musical tastes, from Rob Zombie to Bo Diddley!

I love The Doors, The Presets, The Beatles... most things with "The" as a prefix...! ;)

Le Punk is a music fiend & has been bopping around the house to Everclear and The Prodogy of late...

Favorite Books

The Abortion by Richard Brautigan is my favourite book and Brautigan is my favourite auther, bar none. He was of the Beat generation and used to hang around with Bukowski.

I have a "thing" for vintage craft books and am always scouring oppies for them, the pictures in technicolour are what I enjoy more than anything...!

Favorite Movies

If it weren't for Bruce Willis, Pulp Fiction would be my favourite movie, but as he is in it, and he physically makes me cringe, it can never have the top slot.

The Blues Brothers has always been right up there - it is so cool, and I have managed to block out any recollection of the awfull Blues Brothers 2000 from my mind.

Other goodies are Trainspotting, Snatch, Juno, The Labrynth, Pans Labrynth and The Castle, though there really are so many.

Favorite Television

I'm a big fan of anything from the UK - Black Books is freaking great, even though it makes you want to purge on red wine, and old school greats like Fawlty Towers, The Goodies and Open All Hours crack me up.

Right now, United States of Tara is rocking my world, and The Big Bang Theory is pretty damn funny too.

Favorite Crafts

Perhaps it would be easier to list the crafts I DON'T like?

I am afraid I have a condition called CADD - or Crafters Attention Deficit Disorder lol - I change crafts like underwear, and am always finding something new to try.

I just don't "get" quilting, quilling or scrapbooking. They confound me.

Luff drawing, painting and sewing mostly, with odds & sodds thrown in. Really enjoy repurposing/recycling stuff too and have been adding redone furniture to my home lately.

General stuff I love...

Opshops, vintage everything, red things, Dr Pepper, Dr Martens, vegan baking (not vegan atm though...), Cheesecake pin ups, Jim Morrison, picnics, daisies, chickens in the garden, oak trees, swimming, the beach, bicycles, making stuff, drawing, vegemite toast, coffee, bakelite, rocking horses, tins, kitchen kitsch, LUSH, eggcups, blogging, etsy, handmade, sleeping, hats, buterscotch chocolate, Johnny Depp, She-Ra, Smurfs, toys from the 80s, sushi, markets, cupcakes, gin and tonic, long socks, records, reading, my princess, family, happy mail, dollhouses..... (I could go on...)

Comment: What a fabulous letter! I was especially excited by the stellar job you did decorating the envelope. Robots for the win (even my bf was impressed!) Thanks for the ATC blanks & the letter paper was very cute. Much of your S-B profile & letter rang true with me. What fun :)
