-Sure! I'm partially to breads (zuccinni, pumpkin, lemon, banana, etc) and brownie-type things.

 

Presents for others:

-My doggie has a fairly sensitive stomach, but he does love bully sticks and can eat them with no problems. My husband is not a 'stuff' kind of a guy. But any food or baked items I get, he'll be sure to partake of.

 

Testers vs. full-size?:

-Either is muchly appreciated

 

Social networking?:

-I'm on Twitter - misti_k and Facebook.

Ebooks

-Luv my Kindle!!!

 

Nail Polish:

-Love it. I custom mix/franken nail polish but I also love just about everything OPI, Orly, Nubar and China Glaze put out. In fact, if you want to buy me nail polish, you might want to ask me if I have it first!

 

Soft/plushy things:

-I'm a fan of squishy pillows. But not stuffed animals or the like.

 

Are you into Austen's books?

-I very much enjoyed Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. That said, Pride and Prejudice, with Keira Knightly is one of my favorite movies. It is *so* *well* *done*.

 

Do you read Tarot cards? If not, would you be interested?

-I do not. I've never really understood how people learn to read cards. So sure!

 

What, if anything, is your guilty TV watching pleasure?

-Probably True Blood. It's not incredibly well written and some of the lead actors are so. lacking. But I just enjoy it so much!

 

If you cosplay or need a costume for your bellydance/burlesque hobby (or any other hobby which needs dressup/different from your normal wear), is there anything you need/want for it?

What about [mixed or otherwise] DVDs?

DVDs: Do you prefer widescreen or formatted?

-Widescreen

 

Music: Any preference towards MP3 or CD?

-Either. Both. Whatevs.

 

Do you like scented tarts?

-Not especially. I do like oils though.

 

Lip balms?

-YES. Especially tinted ones; red or darker pinks.

 

Do you have any body mods? If so, do you need any new jewelry, o-rings, plugs, etc (and if so, what size, length, etc)? Do you like pro-body mod stickers?

What is your favorite artist or art style? (including if you have links to favorite pictures/paintings/photographs)

-I enjoy a lot of different art. Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Atomic, Futurism, Dadaism, Surealism are all nice, but I'm not huge into them. Conceptual and Performance Art, pop-art, anything Avant-garde or interactive or relational I *adore*. Also, everything Louise Bourgeois and Anne Brigman have ever done.

 

How picky are you about Etsy wishlists/favorites being the *exact* item you receive? Would something similar be okay?

Is there a ‘squick’ or phobic item you’d prefer not to receive? Certain animals, foods, décor, etc.

-Spiders, Clowns, anything gory.

 

Halloween Plans

-Not sure yet.

 

Girly Index

-I wear a dress or skirt at least once a week, I do at least mascara and lipstick on a nearly daily basis, I keep my nails looking presentable 95% of the time, I love to wear (and buy) jewelry, I enjoy shopping and going to the spa. But I don't 'do' my hair or shave my legs with predictable regularity. My laugh is much too loud (for some people) and I tell crude jokes often. I frequently chose rap when out for karaoke and my favorite drink is Scotch. Sooooo, I'm not sure where that puts me.

 

For those who decorate for Halloween, do you prefer cute decorations or creepy ones?

-Spooky. Not cheesy or gory or silly or cute. Spooky.

 

Do you wear make up?

-Yes. Lipsticks for me are a 'thing'. I've got a wishlist going at Makeup Alley. It's more of a 'In my Dreams' list, but it might prove useful to you. http://www.makeupalley.com/p_mistiwebster

 

And, as a secondary question, I adore icons for LJ/dreamwidth/forums/etc use, but suck at making them myself. Anyone else in the same boat, who would like custom icons as a gift?

-Sure! I have an LJ and would love a few icons.

 

Disney:

Groupons:

-Sure! I live in Austin and I subscribe to all my local ones; localitier, Groupon, Adealio, Living Social. The restaurant and spa ones stand out the most for me.

 

How do you feel about mortars and pestles:

-Neutral leaning towards 'that's cool'.

 

Favorite horror movie:

-I don't know that I have one. I have movies that freaked me the hell out, but I don't think there is a horror movie out there that I'd enjoy enough to own.

 

Favorite scary book or story:

-Me and Stephen King are BFFs 4 EVAH! Probably my favorite of his books, aren't his books, but his multiple collections of short stories.

-Cuddle with a blanket and my doggie on the couch, hot tea or hot chocolate, a book, internet time, a movie, knitting

 

Would you want hand made, molded, glazed (by yours truly!) ceramic decorations (napkin rings, potporri/tart warmers, etc) to add to your stock?

-Gosh, that would be excellent!

 

COMIC BOOKS. Do you read them? Are there any series you like, or some you would like to try?

-I don't, no. I would really like to read the The Sandman series.

 

Do you have a special symbol or totem that is meaningful to you?

-About to get TL;DR up in here...

Before and during my husbands second deployment to Iraq, we were going through a very rough time. We are high school sweethearts that did a year long separation our senior year of HS and then went to the same college. We'd been together for almost 10 years at that point, but I didn't know how long we would continue to be married when he came home. I was so sick; depressed beyond belief. But I managed to crawl out enough to find a therapist, get back on meds, find a job coach, start making friends. For my birthday, he sent me a Tiffany's bracelet with the initials L.O.V. on the back. It stood for Labor Omnia Vincit, Latin that roughly translates to "Hard work conquers all". I wear that bracelet every day and flip it over often to see and rub the initials. We are still together and stronger than ever.

 

Warm Drinks:

-Pumpkin spice lattes!!, jasmine tea, hot chocolate, chai lattes, honest to goodness apple cider, gluhwein!!

 

Do you need a box for your bpal bottles? Your imps? Your something else to put in a box stuff?

-Things are getting a bit tight in bottle-storage department. That said, I recently made this. flickr stream

 

If you could be any person, being, or animal from Fantasy what or who would you be?

-Someone graceful. Gosh, I've always wanted to be graceful.

 

If you could go back to any point in time, where, when, why?

-I don't think I'd like to go back....I think I'd rather go forwards! But the 1920s would be, I imagine, pretty amazing.

 

Favorite Halloween Candy/Treat?

-Pumpkin anything, chocolate, candy corn! But sugar free, of course...

 

 

Would you be interested in an astrology birth chart?

-Absolutely!

 

What movie scared the bejeezus out of you as a child?

-IT, namely.

 

Name a couple of sites you frequent other than this one.

-Etsy, Facebook, xojane.com, Luxirare.com, flickr, livejournal, All Lacquered Up, Temptalia, Scrangie,

 

Do you like the Muppets? Which is your favorite?

-Yes! Probably Ms. Piggie or Kermit. It's more of a nostalgia-like than a real passion.

 

If you could have any creature (real or imaginary) as a pet, what would it be?

-A unicorn! Hooray!

 

Comfort Rereads?:

-Belinda by Anne Rampling, Neptune Rising, Real Simple or Bust magazine

 

 

If you are in school now, what classes are you taking? Does anything you are currently studying really interest you? (if you are not in school, is there anything you are trying to learn?)

-Art History...specfically before 1700

 

 

What's YOUR favorite word?

-Fuck, probably.

 

Steampunk, yay or nay? If yay, what part appeals most?

-YAY! I've love the idea of this alternate history; the 'what if' nature of it. What if we had steam-powered computers? Airplanes? Hair dryers? That's just fascinating to me. But in the practical application, I'm ga-ga for the jewelry. Watchy bits, cogs and wheels, brass or silver, with gems or without, love it all!

 

 

If you were to receive a knitted item (such as a scarf, hat, etc), what colors would you like? And do you have any sensitivies/allergies to any materials?

-Straight up wool is too scratchy for me. It needs to be sooooooft. As for colors, I love bright, multi-colored, rainbow things. But I'm partial to mint green, tiffany blue, blood red. I also love unlikely combos. Blue and orange, Purple and mint green. Also, 'seasonal' colors. Like an 'autumn' mix. Basically, any color combos this lady makes I love - http://www.etsy.com/shop/SpunRightRound especially her 'Buffy', Summer Breeze, Carousel, Hipster, Pumpkin and Cowgirl. I mean, not that exact yarn/fiber, but the color combos themselves are amazing.

 

Gift Certificate: physical or email?

-Either is much appreciated

 

Favorite Yankee Candles? Or other brands scents? (I make my own candles too, but sometimes have money to spend on others)

-I don't really burn yankee candles. My husbands is pretty sensitive to smells and something about yankee candles just sets his sinuses off.

 

 

What places to do you visit that you'd like a gift card to? Starbucks, Target, Wal-Mart, B&N, a favorite restaurant or clothing shop?

-Starbucks, for sure. Target is great, as well. Or Sephora, MAC (cosmetics), or for one of the Etsy shops I have favorited.

 

Cake or Frosting?:

-Both please?

 

 

Vampire shows, literature, etc? Yay or nay?:

-I very much enjoy True Blood, the original 'Southern Vampire' series it sprang from and I read all the Anne Rice vamp books. I've also read Twilight; and will readily acknowledge that it is sparkly crack. It's not good for you, you probably don't really enjoy it, but it's crack...so you keep going back. So yeah, I've admitted my secret shame.

 

How do you all feel about flowers and plants? Flower and plant seeds? Drawings of flowers or plants? Pressed flowers?

-I kill them all and I love them all. Pressed flowers hooray! Botanical prints hooray!! Succulents are A++ in my book. Also, moss (terrariums) and bonzai and plumeria.

 

 

If you play console video games, what game systems do you have and what games would you love to have?

-I have a Wii! I've wanted the EA Active for the Wii for a while now as a compliment to my Wii Fit. Also, anything my husband and I can drunkenly play together. Racing games, sports, whatever. I very much enjoy board games though. I think I've got several favorited on amazon...

 

Are there any international treats that you love and have a hard time finding?

-Real German Chocolate. Gosh, it's hard to find that.

 

If you are a crafter, would you like to receive supplies from your witch (beads, fabric, yarn/roving etc?)

-Absolutely! I've got some more detail I'm going to add.

I'm a big necklace and earring makin' gal. For the longest time, I made stuff like this, this, this, this and this.

 

I still enjoy making necklaces with larger beads and a single focal bead, but I'm branching out now to work with chain more and more, and work with vintage found objects...similar to this, this, this, this, this, and this. Sort of 'mixed media' necklaces, with all sorts of bits and bobs hanging from them, chain of all sorts.

 

I also am starting to do wire wrapping. So wire, wrapping tools, tutorials; all appreciated!

 

Soundtracks you'd like?

-None, thank you

 

If you could see one concert right now, who would it be?

-Of course!

 

Are you a foodie?

Any sports fans in the house? What's your favorite sport/team/player?

-Mmmm, I'm fond of the Saints and the Cowboys but not fanatical at all. Oh, and though I'm not an alum, I root for UT *always*.

 

For holidays, do you decorate? Would you like decorative stuff, weenie or otherwise? If so, do you lean towards the elegant, the crafty/folksy, or the more, erm, campy?

-Yes I do! For the Christmas season, I do retro kitchy stuff. The more 50s/60s it is, the better.

-If you can make it, MAKE IT! Save your monies!

 

Would you like something you have to make yourself? For example, a kit to knit your own soft toy, or a card making kit, or baking kit, etc. And is there anything in particular you'd like to learn?

-Not especially. Unless it's for crochet.

 

How do you feel about stationery, like nice pens or notepaper? And if you're in favor, do you prefer classic/contemporary or cutesy stuff?

What about vintage decoration items, teacups, etc etc?

-Yes and there's lots of stuff on my Etsy wishlist for ideas as to my style and likes/dislikes. Also, I collect those vintage souvenir plates from the 50s and 60s.

 

With regards to your gifts, would you prefer your presents' awesomeness evenly spread out (several packages of pretty terrific things) over the round or a slow build-up of awesomeness (going up from pretty cool things to something super-duper cool at the end) to go out with a bang? Do you have a preference?

-I like the slow build up to large bang, but I am open to whatever my witch chooses to do!

-Absolutely!

 

 

If you have something on a wishlist that we could craft INSTEAD of buying, though it might not end up identical to the wishlist thing, would it be okay to craft it instead?

What kind of a cook/baker are you?

If I send you something home made would you like the reciepe for it?

-Sure!

 

 

How about home made mixes or kits? Kind of like the cookie in a jar thing, where you would need to add the perishable ingredients?

-That would be fine.

-Nope, not at all.

 

 

In the knitted/crocheted things area, would you want wrist warmers, 1/2 gloves, a neck warmer(the kind that pretty much just goes around your neck and maybe fastens instead of being long and loose like a scarf), slippers, or hats?

-1/2 gloves. I think that means fingerless gloves, yes?

-I feel lovely about them.

 

 

What is your favourite habitat and climate to live in? How about to visit? (ie. forest, canyons, mountains, by the beach; temperate, tropical...)

-I love tropical locations and high desert (Marfa, TX). When the sun comes out and there is a cool breeze and big puffy clouds in the sky, I am at my happiest.

 

 

What do you wish you could make/craft if you had the know-how and supplies? Specifically, which particular items?

-Gosh, I'd love to do precious metal clay pendants and rings. But that requires a kiln or at least a blow torch and metal mesh and ring molds.

-I do need a set of stitch markers, yes! I'm pretty set on needles and I much prefer cotton or natural materials over synthetic.

 

 

Does anyone do altered books? Would you be interested in old books to alter? Any type or title in particular?

-I do, yes. Art books are always fun, and old medical or nature texts.

 

 

Did someone ask about incense yet? Would you like some? Something to store or burn it in? What scents? What form?

-I've been searching for years for a poster or affordable print of Anne Brigman's. It's just impossible to find. I got to see one of her photographs at the Library of Congress and they told me I could pay to have a print made, but I've just never followed through with it.

Do you have a deviantart print wishlist or favourites list?

http://misti-k.deviantart.com/favourites/

 

 

What kind of shoes do you need/want? What size shoes do you wear? Would you mind gently used shoes?

-I wear a size 11, I don't mind gentle used shoes. I love Fluevogs and really any brightly colored or unique shoe. I try to stick with 2 inch heels, anything more than that gets a bit iffy.

 

A few of my favorite brands are Poetic License, Re-Mix and just about all Aris Allen dance shoes! Esp. those red velvet oxfords!!

 

 

 

 

What song is on heavy rotation for you right now?

Lady Gaga's You and I

Would you (assumin' you're a yarnie) be interested in a naturally-dyed yarn that's designed to very gradually fade with washing?

-No, thank you

 

 

Do you collect stones/rocks? I'm talking like "semi" precious stones, ie moonstone, bloodstone, quartz ect. Are there any that you're looking for at the moment? Are you in need of a stone but don't know which kind?

-Yes. I love labradorite, rainbow aura quartz, lithium quartz, dragon jasper...

 

 

What's your favorite Halloween Music?

-I don't think I have any...but I do love all those old monster songs from the 60s? Monster Mash, Purple People Eater, etc. ..

 

 

 

Just curious, but if your witch was to make an amigurumi critter (or other plushie) just for you, what would it be?

-The Hyperbole and a Half gal...I love that comic so much!! Or a peacock. Or an orca.

 

 

Would you want a local/tourist item from your witch? Like a t-shirt, mug or shot glass?

-Sure! I'd love a locally made food-stuff. I typically only get a shot glass from places *I've* been to but other things would be lovely.

 

 

 

Last Unicorn?

-I've...never read it *hides*. I know, I know!! But I bet the scents will be lovely.

 

 

Who is your fav Disney Villian/villianess? How about hero/herione? (doesn't have to be specifically Disney though)

-Oh, Maleficent by far. I don't know why, I've just always loved her. Maybe it's her awesome hat. Favorite heroine...I love Aurora. But Mulan is up there, for sure. As is Ariel. Love Ariel!

 

 

If you could make a scent that represents where you live (or have lived), what would be the ingredients?

-Austin - the cool aquatic of the Colorado River and Barton Springs, night blooming jasmine and perhaps just a touch of cedar, hot asphalt, a swig of cheap Lone Star beer and the after-burn of a fresh joint on a hot August night...

 

 

Are you in need of Roller bottles or anything of the like?

-Imps, pipettes or roller bottles would be much appreciated.

 

 

Is there one scent that is your goto for comfort on a bad stressful day? Like the perfume equivilent of a security blankie?

-Probably Red Rider...or my precious little imp of The Rose.

 

Is there something just super random you like/enjoy/want/are ogling that has not been and will not be covered by any other questions, because it's just that WEIRD?

-Yes! I just added a few odd cameos to my Etsy
