Favorite:

Color

Grey

Movie

Anything from Wes Anderson or the Coen Brothers

TV Show

Documentaries, quiz shows, and cooking shows.

Band

At the moment I love Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Bowerbirds, and Why?. My all-time favorites include Pixies, Pavement, Modest Mouse and The Smiths.

Book

I prefer non-fiction as my attention span is quite short. My favourite author is Bill Bryson.

City

London; there's no place like home. Closely followed by Barcelona, Shanghai and Paris.

Food

I love nearly all food as long as it's vegetarian, especially Mexican. And Marmite on toast!

Hobbies

Apart from crafting - cooking (and eating), reading, fashion, music gigs and cinema.

Favorite Crafts

Sewing, knitting, drawing, greeting cards

What you craft along to

Any British daytime TV, preferably cooking shows.

First Project You Ever Made

The first thing I vividly remember is a painted clay rabbit in school that my mum still keeps in the kitchen. He's grey with a green bow-tie.

Favorite Items to Make

I love to reconstuct t-shirts when I get the chance to visit my overlocker (it's currently at my parents' as my flat is too small for it) and I love drawing new ideas in my sketchbook.

Anything Else

Sadly my first love of sewing (particularly t-shirt reconstruction) is on the back-burner for now due to my tiny London flat and full-time job. But I have started an Etsy shop, selling prints and greeting cards (handily portable crafts!) and hope to branch back into sewing as soon as possible.
