Things you Geek About (interests, hobbies, fandoms):
I love many things Japanese—kimono, cherry trees, Japanese gardens, tea, sushi, koi, temples, go, geisha, etc.
I’m a huge plant nerd and gardener. I especially love roses, formal gardens, Japanese gardens and orchids. I built an 800-gallon goldfish and koi pond. My house is full of houseplants and plant pictures. I collect gardening books and read them cover-to-cover.
I love Sailor Moon and anything by CLAMP. I like cute themed notebooks, notepads, stickers, keychains, magnets and such (useful things).
My favorite colors are purple and blue.
I have three cats—two black and one black-and-white. One of them is crazy and possibly a future world dictator.
I wear a lot of fuzzy socks, slippers, wrist warmers, and lace shawls/scarfs.
I don’t own any teapot cozies. Why is that? I drink so much tea.
I like fantasy (dragons! magic!) and renaissance fairs. I also like steampunk and historical costuming—particularly Victorian/Edwardian era; I sew my own costumes.

I don’t wear jewelry but have long curly hair and could totally use some fancy hair accessories.

Any allergies/postal restrictions/simple DNWs:
I am lactose intolerant, so nothing with butter or milk; I also don’t eat lard. I’m a loose vegetarian (leather and gelatin OK).
Fiber-wise I’m fairly picky about the “scratchy-ness” of a fabric or yarn. When I knit or buy clothes for myself I prefer very soft natural fibers.

What country do you live in?
USA

Are you willing to ship internationally?
Sure

What kind of crafter are you?/What are you willing to gift?
I sew clothes, accessories, and quilts.
I bake (but can ship baked goods only to the Eastern USA).
I do fancy cut-out silhouettes (can be a person, plant, or whatever).

Are you willing to pinch hit if necessary?
Yes—but if I have to order a fandom-specific fabric it’ll take a week to arrive.

What about if shipping is paid for?
I can pay shipping.

If you participated in last round, who did you create for/who created for you?:
It’s my first year! I’m so excited.
