lizzyblack

Hello there! I am Italian, call me Liz even if my name is Elisabetta ;) I am fond of Ireland, where I spent one year + more of my life. I love crafting, and swapping crafts around the world :) I also am a bookcrosser, and you can find me under the name of lizzyblack, the nick I use here as well. I am getting a degree in Organic chemistry, and I plan to move from my beloved country, maybe back to Ireland. I love travelling, and I love foreign languages, sometimes I think I'd like to learn more languages, but I should have the chance to let my days last longer ;) I play fiddle, I love singing. I love cats and I've got 3.. well, what else? I love swapping, I usually make it privately from my blogs, or on BC.com, or on BC.italy, so I am used to make and send stuffs on time, and please to know people received and liked the things. Please, do not forget to rate me when you receive my swaps!!

• cross-stiching stuffs (skeins, charts, needles..)

• polymer clay
• flavoured tea
• coloured pencils
• fabrics

Well, as long as I play fiddle, classical music is one of my fave. Beethoven, Mozart and Paganini are like friends of mine :P, but I love almost all the calssical music. I liste to other kinds, anyway. Rock, pop, some jazz, italian..

I am a bookcrosser, and I am used to read almos every kind of books. Anyway, my fave writer is Roddy Doyle. I love some history books, esp. those from 1600 to 1800. I love kids books as well. You can check my bookshelf on bookcrossing.com and anobii.com. My nick is lizzyblack there too.

I've been cross-stitching since I was 12 or so, so this is my very first kind of craft, and I still cross-stich now. I love cardmaking and scrapbooking, things that I just learned a while ago, but I just love them! I like crocheting, esp. amigurumi style :) Polymer clay buttons are my last obsession, I am trying to learn it well. I like felt works, esp. around Christmas time :)

I love cooking, as I wrote somewhere in my profile :P I am a cake and cookies/biscuits lover, esp. shortbread and anything with chocolate. I don't eat any kind of cream made with eggs, I can't eat eggs and recipes with no more than 3 eggs in the whole recipe ar highly appreciated :) Bread recipes are very much appreciated, but I don't have a bread machine, so just handmade breads are OK ;) I hate stewed meat, so please do not send recipes about stew or similar. I love pasta, whatever is made with pasta is good :P
