I make silly food-themed scarves, and sometimes fanny packs, fancy brooches, and other goodies. My love for fake food is wide and deep. I used to spend all my allowance on those fake Fisher Price kitchen toys and meals, with the squishy "rising" muffins and the plastic hamburgers.

I have been crocheting random stuff like tiger-head Kleenex cozies, frog hats with dangly legs, and BBQ pork bun plushies for my friends and family since I was ten years old. When my Grandma Wendleton first taught me to crochet in the 80s, I made lots of misshapen brown squares for a long time and called them “mini blankets.” You have to start somewhere!

I've been been making my foodie scarves since 2005. I have been kind of bad about updating my website, but I am now on website overdrive!

If you are interested in commissioning work, please EMAIL ME at twinkiedink at gmail dot com. It is too hard to organize messages in MySpace. I do not always take commissions depending on how busy I am, but please do ask just in case. Also, I cannot sell patterns at this time.

I totally support all the artists, designers, crafters, etc here, but please don't try to post GIGANTIC banners or photos that take up half a page, 'kay? I will not accept them.

My Interests


My wrinkly pup, BIBI!!!

She is half Shar Pei, half Basset Hound, a Ba-Shar, Sharp Asset, hippo, mini walrus!!! (But also she is made out of pork)

I'd like to meet:

Creative dynamos, people who like vegetables and cookies, androids, flying giraffes, and lonely weinerdogs.

Music:

Back in the day I was very into cute and fuzzy music like The Gerbils, Apples in Stereo, Dressy Bessy, Mirah, Butter 08, The Doves, Quasi, etc etc so on and so forth, but now I don't make much time to find out new things. I'm always open to suggestions! Load up my iPod!

Movies:

I like John Hughes movies a whole lot, and Wes Anderson, and Charlie Kaufman, Big, So I Married an Axe Murderer, Reality Bites, Practical Magic (it's a good prompt for Midnight Margaritas), the Three Amigos, Dead Alive, Jesus Christ Vampire Killer, Doggie Poo (best poop claymation ever), Willow, Labyrinth, Krull, okay I'm bored of typing now, but I will add that my favorite movie of all time since girlhood is The Last Unicorn, because it's so sad, and she was the only unicorn to know love, AND REGRET, because she was a freakin magical being, and he was a mere human. I need a brownie now.

Television:

I have a deep love for canceled TV shows like Undeclared, Wasteland (come on, doesn't anyone remember this! I adored it!!!), and Life As We Know It (that's some primo, teen-angsty entertainment!). I newly cannot live without: The Hills, ANTM, Top Chef, LOST, and the abundant 90210 re-runs on the SOAP network.

Books:

I never have time to read anymore, which is sad, cuz...yeah, you'd know why if you knew me.Books I've liked in the past: White Oleander, The Minotaur takes a Cigarette Break, Syrup, The Girl in the Flammable Skirt, My Date with Satan, the zany works of Erika Lopez, Observatory Mansions, right now I'm trying to read The Girls by Lori Lansens cuz it's about conjoined twins.
