I need to update my profile....... I was dropped from a swap because it had been longer than 10 days since I had signed on to swap bot. Yes, this is true. I had emergency open heart surgery. I was not able to commit to swaps so I didn't sign on. Once I was better I wanted to resume my hobbies and be thankful my life was saved. I've never flaked on a swap and my ratings are all good, including lots of hearts (I try to always send more to my partner each swap). I've hosted swaps and understand about flakers. I have been flaked on myself. My suggestion to anyone hosting a swap ... Contact the person you are questioning before just dropping them. There are times when a person will have a reason.
I have met some wonderful people on here and one whom I have become great friends with and do many personal swaps with. And ran across several whom I question their people skills. Dropping me from this swap was like a slap in my face. The swap was for 3 partners and send 40 something squares to each partner. When I signed up for the "vomit square" swap as it was called I immediately cut my squares and bundled them with little bows ... And waited to hear who my partners were. They sit on my sewing table now since I was dropped.

So, .... If you have a question or concern, please contact me.

I'm a 50's something woman, who would have loved to have been June Cleaver. I long for the good ole days of mom staying home, cooking, cleaning, baking cookies and joining the PTA. My kids are grown and on their own. I've recently moved out of the city to a small town. I love living in the country with my husband and our little taco bell dog, Chloe Belle. We recently adopted a yellow lab puppy (he's 100 lbs at 10 minths!). We fell in love with him after seeing him up for adoption at an animal shelter near our home. His name is Jake and he's such a sweetheart! I love vintage things, sewing, crafting, junking, dumpster diving and being creative. There's no better way to relax! I simply adore the color PINK! I'd have every room in my house pink if my husband would let me! I have a pink kitchen with all the pink appliances. I have my own PINK girly bedroom. It's just mine to relax in. However, Chloe loves it too and I find her most days laying on the old iron bed in there napping. Looks like I've trained her well! Here's just a few of my favorite things!

I love to sew. I do alot of quilting, piecing quilts, placemats, mug rugs, anything crafty with sewing. I love making aprons. I am working on an apron either for me or someone else... I'm always sewing on one. I love apron patterns. I'm working on some puppets for my daughter since she's a teacher .. I love those patterns. I love alot of patterns for craft items but I'm ALWAYS looking for more patterns. I love vintage child things that have to do with the kitchen. I have an old Suzie Homemaker Oven that was mine in the early 60's. I want to get some vintage dishes and make a small play area in my craft room. I love decorating my sewing and craft room. It's 16x24 so I have alot of room to play! I have a vintage doll highchair and I'm looking for a vintage childs table and chairs.

I love Sandra Dallas.

I love biographies and autobiographies .. especially of movie stars.

Blind Side

I dislike the smell of vanilla, don't like the taste of peppermint or cinnamon, CATS .. scared to death of them, smokers, liars, and people who act like they are better than everyone else. I don't like vulgar language or racial comments. I don't do scrapbooking and I'm not very adventurous on the computer. I tend to do the basics .. I guess I'm just not a "techy" person. I'm not in to futeristic things, scifi, gory movies.
