Aruia

working mom of three, here are some of my interests:

penpalling, fountain pens, ink, black and white, architecture, national geographic, rome, coffee, oscar wilde, literature, history, genealogy, photography, green, turquoise, blue, autumn, the number 11, star wars, owls, paper crafts, travelling, chocolate, poetry, good food, cooking, boardgames, reading, books, selfmade envelopes, whales, turtles, lighthouses, sea, sailing, facebook, bookcrossing, long letters,...

At the moment I'm thinking a lot about the right way to live, like ecologically right, avoiding food with animals that were raised in mass production, getting more and more vegetarian.

what I DON'T like: Diddl and friends, girly stuff like Hello Kitty and so on, the colours pink, purple and yellow, halloween, getting up early (though I have to), empty mailboxes, make up, highheels, fast food!, cappucino, milk froth, envy, superficial people...

james blunt, pink, shakira, billy joel, sunrise avenue, claudio baglioni, antonello venditti, herbert grönemeyer,... classic music (brahms, bach, beethoven)

Pride and prejudice (Jane Austen), The name of the rose (Umberto Eco), Love in the time of Cholera (Gabriel Garcia Marquez), Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien), Harry Potter (J.K. Rowling), Die Buddenbrooks (Thomas Mann), Shopaholic series (Sophie Kinsella), Oscar Wilde

Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, James Bond, The Untouchables, The Godfather, Jackie Brown, Bourne Triology, The Sword In The Stone (Disney), You've Got Mail, French Kiss and my all-time favourite: High Society

Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan, George Clooney, Leonardo di Caprio, Rene Russo, Quentin Tarantino

I DON'T like horror films.

I watch way too much TV, mainly because I have a TV-junkie-hubby ;-) I must admit though, that I like Big Bang Theory and The Simpsons and watching films in the evening, also some documentations, but I detest talk shows, game shows, documentary soaps, soaps,... just too much rubbish on TV!

I have not much idea of textile crafts like sewing or knitting, but I've started crocheting. I've started with amigurumi and then did caps for the whole family and scarfs, too. I love paper art, sometimes I make collages, I draw a little bit and I design our own announcements for moving, birth of children, birthday invitations, also love mail art, selfmade envelopes and so on. Lately I've tried on inchies and ATC too.
