Blog Feature: Amber!

1. Tell us about yourself! (your name, your age, what you do etc)

My name is Amber and I am turning 33 next Monday! I can't believe I will be 33 because I sure don't act or feel like it! I am married to Scott and we have three kitties: Boomer, Betty Jo, and Babakeenya. We live in a tiny farmhouse in the middle of the city! It is better known as Poot Manor, since Scott and I have nicknamed each other Poot and Poot. It has caught on and most of our friends and family members call us Poot. It is not uncommon to hear me yelling a couple aisle over in the grocery store, "Poot did you grab the eggs?" It makes us smile! I currently work in a medical office as an office assistant during the day and at night I craft away.


2. What kind of crafts (or other hobbies) are you into right now?

Right now I can't stop crocheting. I love it! I am addicted. I also enjoy knitting, sewing, scrapbooking, and embroidery.

3. What are some of your current obsessions?

Yarn! I would buy it all if I could. I am also loving scarves, headbands, and my slouchy black boots. I also can't stop watching Big Love, Project Runway, and Biggest Loser. I am sort of a reality tv junkie!

4. What is one of your crafty goals (or other goals) for 2010?

My number one goal is to open up an etsy store this year. Several years back I sold vintage clothes on Ebay. I went through some llife changes and put it on the back burner. When I moved into Poot Manor I couldn't believe how many amazing vintage pieces I had still! So in the next couple of months I really want to open it up! Also I would love to finish a granny square afghan and a ripple afghan....and a quilt!

5. What makes your blog special and why should we read it?

I think it is special because it honestly reflects who I am! Poot and I have an amazing group of friends and we are always going on some crazy little road trip! We try to cram as much fun into a day as we can! It also is a place for me to show off my crafty creations and those of others that I find inspiring! I keep it positive and fun!
