I'm a Foreign Service Brat/3rd Culture Kid, Theatre Techie and Designer. I got into the SCA and Cosplay as it allowed me to make costumes without the time requirements of being part of a show! Jokes on me. My most recent (coming up on year 9) obsession is my Glowforge laser.

I'm a red headed, right handed, lgBtq, ND, IceHockey playing, happily married, polymath 😄

I love things that are or have to do with:
purple
horses
cats
ice hockey soft/fuzzy
sparkly
miniaturized
over-sized
shiny
interesting
new to me
absolute must see/have/do/try/what evers!

I don't love things that are:
wool
scratchy
flowery
pink
overly-girlie
delicate

I'm not a scrapbooker or a crochet'er/knitter but I am a woodworker and laser crafter - and I've got years of abandoned hobbies I'm willing to share the stuff from :-)

I am trying to keep a lid on the amount of stuff in my life, so hearts will be given for consumables, intangibles, or pass-on-ables (music, books, food stuffs, craft supplies, electronic files, stuffed animals, knick-knacks, boxes, paper). On the other hand if it's the thing that you think is coolest and everyone should know about/have one I'll be thrilled to check it out!

I do ADORE getting mail - letters/postcards/whatever!

Doctor Who, Leverage, the Marvel universe, and far too many shows that get canceled far too quickly.

...of course I only watch TV every once in a while :-P

Sewing
Wood working Photography
Engraving ...I love to try my hand at anything and everything!
