General info

Favourite colours: red, followed by purple and autumn colours

Least favourite colours: bright yellow and pale pastels

Favourite designs: Many and varied! I'm really into Little House Needleworks and Blackbird Designs. I also like country-style designers like Bent Creek, The Trilogy and Heart in Hand, and country but more primitive designs like Homespun Elegance, Carriage House Samplings and Prairie Schooler. I particularly like anything that's seasonal or has alphabets or houses. I really like Quaker designs too and samplers with speciality stitches (think Drawn Thread!)

Least favourite designs: sentimental, fantasy or cutesy things

Anything else? I love stationery (notebooks, pens, highlighters), coffee, chocolate, anything home-made, and local things that are particular to different areas or countries (I love learning about different cultures).
