About
Before I became a wife and mother of my wonderful 1year old daughter, I was an independent contractor. I worked doing many different things: lighting design, costume design, stage managing, PA, stage crew, whatever the show called for I would do. But, mostly I did lights and costumes; at 18 I was the youngest lighting designer in North Texas. Good times they were, but for some reason, Mommy can't work those hours any more. :O
Therefore, I am now a Tech Support Specialist for a small online database company. :/ I pays the bills but leaves me feeling like a drone.
It is because of this Drone mentality that I craft! I have been sewing for over 15 years making everything from Dolly's "Hello, Dolly!" dress to my daughter's nursery set to modified thrift store clothes for myself and friends! I knit, crochet, paint (with my husband, who is EXTREMELY talented), read, love the theatre, music and generally will try anything once.
I am on the look out for new friends that can teach me new things, and always willing to help out anyone that I can with my skill set!
My very favorite pastime, (which is quite expensive so rare for me to get to do) is getting tattooed! I love tattoos, I love the sting of the needle as the ink enters my skin, there is something so soothing about it to me...
Anyways, enough about me, I would love to hear about YOU! So please drop a line if you have a moment, I'd love to make my friends list grow.
PS - I love this site, everyone is so creative, it has helped keep me sane on many nights while I rock the munchkin who cannot sleep at 2am. Kudos to CO&K

- commented on her comment Thank you! I will try to get into the Newbie vs. Vets swap before round 2 if I can! Does it have to be the Newbie vs. Vet swap that I do first? or can any swap make me eligible? I REALLY want to do a swap. I would love to be able to do something ... to Lolly.Bot 10 Jan 20:23
Each swap has different rules set by the host, although most swaps -- apart from the newbie vs vet swap -- ask that you've done one swap, preferably that one as you get more support and guidance as they match a vet with a newbie...
I tend to favour those for hair candy because they tend not to interfere as much with your hairstyle.
