Just moved to the east coast and am now a stay at home mom! I am a fashion designer and my hobbies are photography, sewing, drawing, reading, and spending time with my awesome 19 month old daughter. So excited I found this site! This will be fun!

Loooove Jazz vocals the most...but listen to basically everything. Love stuff I can sing to...luckily my daughter will dance to whatever I'm dancing to.

I love to COOK (mostly Asian cuisine), sewing crafts, photography, new to quilting, and basically anything that requires me to use my hands and creativity.

I'm interested in receiving fun cooking and sewing items - fabrics (oriental and/or brightly colored natural fiber fabrics - no polyester please), things to apply to the fabrics, bento accessories, uncommon seasonings,

~People! (non judgemental ones, of course!) ~Fabrics...oriental prints, japanese children prints, please no polyester (I'm allergic) ~Trims for garment sewing ~Charcoal drawings ~Flowers (real) - orchids, plumeria, hibiscus ~Fresh herbs ~Recipes for Chinese, Japanese and Korean food ~I'm from Hawaii so anything that reminds me of home is SOOOO welcome ~Colors - anything but baby colors (baby pink, baby blue, baby green, etc...)

~Anything religious ~country motif ~anything too flowery ~soft pinks - bright and bold pinks are ok ~heart shaped things ~things with animals or bugs on them ~crystal beads ~cheap looking things ~fake leather

Not a big fan of sweet things, especially don't like pastries of any kind. I'm diabetic so I have some limitations. BUT, I like things that are naturally sweet - fig and fig spreads (anything that goes well with cheese and wine), dried mangoes, fresh apples, melons.

I like salty and savory things...homemade popcorn (not prepackaged with seasonings, I add my own), CHEESE, salami and sausage. Really anything you can snack on with a glass of red wine!!!
