Biography – I’m a 30-something crafty enthusiast, living on the East coast of Canada with my sweetie Fiance Rob, and our 2 cats, Luna & Artemis (brownie points to anyone who gets the reference there). I work at CasinoNB. I am a trained Interior Decorator, as well as a Multimedia Designer, although I’m not currently working in either field – it’s just not what I want to do. I do love that my job allows me to work from home, as this gives me lots of time to work on my crafty endeavors. I used to do craft shows, but I haven’t for a few years because I just didn’t like having to mass-produce items, and I don’t like sticking to just one craft, I literally do it ALL.
I do have 2 Etsy shops, Bubblecup.Etsy.com for my handmades and Retroheart.Etsy.com for all my awesome vintage finds. I love Etsy because it really supports my style of crafting, in that I’m not obligated to stick to one style of craft (like soap making, or sewing), but instead I can craft as my muse so desires, and have an eclectic shop. 
Besides crafting, I also like to read, cook, bake, travel (especially to my fave place in the whole world, NYC); shopping (especially for vintage things & crafty things); video games (WOW, RockBand; anything Mario); board games; roller derby – I’m in it, but still learning to skate.
Favorite Crafts – collage; mixed media; assemblage; sewing; traditional rug hooking; Ukrainian Easter eggs; jewelry making; anything involving felt; needle felting; spinning; crochet
I love – Roller derby; Godiva Chocolate; my Honda Fit; Top sirloin steak grilled rare with grilled onions; NYC; collecting stuff (see below); Japanese culture, especially kawaii things; Indian food; Montana’s Ribs; houndstooth; argyle; Bettie Page; great danes; strawberries and blueberries;
I Collect – chopsticks; LuRay Dinnerware; vintage things I think are cute; maneki neko; My Little Pony (well, I don’t actively collect these anymore, and my once 600+ collection is now well under 100); craft supplies; fabric; buttons; Herself the Elf dolls; Pullip Dolls; Blythe Dolls; cookie cutters; and I feel I should mention Rob’s hot sauce collection (which I believe at last count was over 120, but has had more added since) because even though it’s his collection, I like to buy new hot sauces to add to it too, and I really love it!; paper ephemera; vintage glass Christmas balls
Guilty Pleasures or Things I am Embarrassed to Like (or at least should be) – leftover french fries reheated in the microwave; 90′s music; Korn; Reno 911; WOW; eating a whole big tub of cottage cheese in one sitting.
