1. What is your craft, & how long have you been doing it? I guess I would say that my craft is taking pictures. I have been doing it since approximately October 10, 2004, which is the date I got my digital camera. Since then, I've just been taking more and more pictures.
2. Are you a vegan, vegetarian, veg-curious, veg-friendly or other? I guess I would say that I am veg-friendly. There are certainly a lot of veggies I like, but there's probably more that I either just don't like, or will only eat a certain way. (Like green/red/yellow/orange peppers... either cut up in small pieces and cooked or cooked thoroughly in a sauce- stirfry... And only like tomatoes in sauce. Not fresh. Ever.)
3. What is your favorite color(s)? Do you particularly dislike a color(s)? Oooh... good one... I LOVE a darkish sage color, kind of in between sage and a light forest green, and I adore Navy Blue. I also like every color that I see day to day in Nature... as I could easily prove by showing you some pictures... Earth tones are my newest favorites... yummy browns and tans...
4. Do you have any allergies (such as pets, foods or cigarette smoke?) Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! You either must be joking or really don't know me. I am allergic to just about everything under the sun now. It started out small: cats, rabbits, bigger dogs. Now I am allergic to almost all animals, and can't even be around cats for 10 minutes (and I am on a daily antihistamine) without my throat swelling up. My allergies also trigger my athsma, which has continually gotten worse since I was diagnosed in my teens.
My allergy list has grown to also contain some sort of seafood (they weren't overly specific when I went for the allergy test, so I just avoid all of it - I also don't like it) and trees. I am certain that mold is on the list, too, and most other things like strong perfumes - read ' teenage girls' - and smoke, etc. also aggravate me. I'm not sure that I can even stop taking my antihistamines over the winter months anymore. Last time I tried was 2 1/2 years ago...
5. Do you have any companion animals? If so, names and types? Well, Pookie was one of them, and since she passed, I am certain she is still here. She was a Poodle/Terrier/Cocker Spaniel Mix. One of the most polite and mild mannered dogs I have ever met. (Unless she's around a young child- she had always been uneasy around them, since she was a puppy and was bombarded with not-so-great attention from a toddler.) And she is always great company. Her son, Patches, who is now 6 1/2 years old, lives with my parents, but I still call him my dog, too. He is super cute, and puts up with my camera. A lot. I have hundreds of pictures of him, if not thousands.
6. Do you collect anything? Pictures. Old money, funny money. (Funny Money referring to strange and exotic coins or bills from other countries. Years ago, I even collected U.S. Quarters when I came across them because they were so foreign to me.
7. Do you have a favorite vegan food, snack or dish? If no fav that's vegan (for those who aren't vegan), what's your favorite food? Uhhh... Err... I can't think right now. There's too many to list. I love a great chicken caesar salad. Chicken Souvlaki, with warm pita bread and tzatziki sauce. Ribeye steak BBQ'd to rare or medium rare with Montreal steal spice on it. Potatoes. (You name it, potato wise, I probably like it. (Lately been eating a lot of the packaged scalloped type... Yum!) Sorbet... I have been making my own here at home, and Oh. My. God. Strawberry and Peach are so far in my 'fighting for #1' list. Want to try Banana Sorbet, so I can mix it with strawberry... or orange... or pineapple...
8. What tools/supplies/accessories for your craft(s) are you wishing you had but don't? Also, what do you have TOO many of? (basically a wish and anti-wish list) I am hoping to someday be able to buy a more professional camera... Probably with help from my sister... She took the 2 year course... I'd also need more memory cards if I was to buy a better camera... and probably batteries/battery pack. Oh, and photo paper and ink... or whatever else. Too many of? Does that happen?
9. What type of handmade item would tickle your fancy? What don't you like? (Keep in mind this swap is open to all types of crafters.)
The kind of handmade item that tickles my fancy is paintings... I like them much better when I know the artist. How do you get into painting when you know nothing of the materials? I think I would like anything homemade if it was made for me, because someone took the time to make it for me. One of my most treasured items is a handmade journal I got for Christmas from my Mom, who got my Auntie to make. It rocks.
10. Is there anything else you would like your pal to know about you? Uh... I swear I am not clumsy, I just hurt myself lots... I love animals, just can't really be with them. :( My idea of a great day is one where I spend a lot fo time with nature, either just driving and looking at it, or taking pictures... (of course).
And I'd also like my pal to know that I love them very much! (And miss them, too!)
