Grunge! Some of my favorites lately: Djo, Balu Brigada, older Blue October, Highly Suspect, Wet Leg, Lord Huron, and This is Lorelai. I absolutely adore Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Candlebox.

I love horror books. The Troop by Nick Cutter. The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova. House of Leaves. My favorite trope is haunted houses! I also loved the Dungeon Crawler Carl series (I’ve read them all)! For nonfiction, I love history. I like reading presidential and monarchial biographies.

I sew and make quilts. I like fabric crafts - making bookmarks, wall hangings, etc. I enjoy collage and scrapbooking.

I love animals of all kinds. My favorites include: birds, owls, large cats, racoons, and octopus. I love to read and doodle. I keep a journal and write in it everyday. I am married with no children. I am an acupuncturist that has studied Traditional Chinese Medicine - I love Eastern art, botanicals, and mythology. I love tarot and mysticism. I especially love skeletons and old-fashioned anatomy prints. Also, the family/genus prints of flowers, plants, and trees. I am a vegan and have been for many years.

My favorite movies are horror, but I watch and like all genres. I love the first Conjuring, Midsomer, and The Lost Boys. I’ll watch anything that Mike Flanagan directs/writes/produces!

Right now, I am loving dark purple, burnt oranges, and dark greens. I enjoy nature and like botanical prints. I like the dark and macabre.

I LOVE patches - the kind you sew on to your jacket or iron-on to something. I collect a patch for destinations I have visited, destinations that friends and family have visited, and places I want to go! I adore the National Parks and state parks - they have the best patches! I also love stickers and flags. I love cotton fabric as I sew and do a lot of applique projects. I also collect postcards - history, people, places, animals, scenery, abstract, artwork, funky designs...it doesn't matter! I love them!
