My name is Rebecca, I live in North Carolina.  I teach elementary music (grades K-5) in a title one school and love it!  I'm good with any size hoop.  I love rich colors.  It doesn't matter if they're bright or dark, I just want them to be rich.  The only color I truely dispise/loath/can't stand/hate (I have no idea why really) is pink.  I really just don't like that color at all.  When I'm not doing embroidery I also sew, knit, crochet and fiddle with polymer clay.  

Themes
 - Steampunkery
 - Music (not pop music - think treble clefs, instruments, jazz, classical, world music)
 - Seasons/Elements
 - Mythical creatures - dragons, fairies, mermaids
 - Books - I LOVE to read.  And I like reading real books, not electronic books.
 - Halloween - its coming soon and its my favorite holiday!
 - Meditation/Om/Lotus - I would really like to have a lotus blossom!
 - Something wist/pinterest inspired!  Both are listed in my signature!  
 - Some combination of what I've listed here!
 - Ginkgo leaves
 - Life is Good (its on the tire cover on my jeep!)
 - Quotes (check out Pinterest for that!  They're all on my Words board)
 - Crocheting or Knitting or both!  Both would be awesome!

My Name is Julianna. Hi!  I live in Buffalo, NY with my husband and our daughter, Daphne (who is 2 1/2 and fabulous!).  When I'm not hooping it up, I'm crocheting, knitting and couponing like crazy.  I love a wide variety of colors, but I'm not too crazy about brown.  I like things to be bright and cooridinated. I prefer pretty things over gross things.  I'm very easygoing, and (I like to think) I have a witty sense of humor.

Themes:
Doctor Who - I love the 3 newest Doctors and their companions best.  The Tardis, Bad Wolf, the crack in the wall, the quote: "I wanted to see the Universe so I stole a Time Lord and ran away."
Star Wars - especially episodes 4, 5 & 6.  Quotes, parodies, humor, wookies, ewoks, vehicles, light sabers are all cool.
Flowers - yellow sunflowers would be great in my kitchen, but any floral would rock.
TV shows - Eureka, Haven, Warehouse 13, Firefly, Psych.
Books & reading - Harry Potter, Chronicles of Narnia, Twilight, romance novels.
Something for my daughter - Dora, princess, sparklie, her initials (DAM), animals.  Pink, purple and blue are her faves.
Something from (or inspired by) my wist: http://www.wists.com/Seereeoslee

5. Garden gnomes - my newest addiction

6. Constellations - I love all of them.

7. Mythological creatures - Pegasus, Dragon, Unicorn, Hydra

Hello! My name is Emily and I live in New York. I love drawing, writing, sewing, and in my free time I like to research American fashion and sociology in the 19th century. My favorite color is green. I also like blue, red, purple, and black. I apologize ahead of time for my kind of obscure themes.

My wist: http://www.wists.com/Interrobam

~Victorian Fashion- What can I say, I love bustles. It would be really cool if you could make a hoop based on an actual fashion plate. (I’ve already received an awesome hoop for this, but I can always use more!)
~The TV show Better Off Ted (you can watch it on Netflix)- I’d take pretty much anything, but everything Veronica says is pure gold, so quoting her would be a good idea. Phil and Lem are also adorable.
~The webcomic Lackadaisy (lackadaisycats.com)- I’d love if it involved Mordecai, Freckle, and/or awesome jazz age clothing.
~Alphonse Mucha’s Art- I love his art style, especially his use of circles and the way he drew hair.
~ A hoop based on one of my favorite cartoons (please PM me for more on my favorite quotes, characters etc):
Adventure Time (Finn, PB, Marceline)
Regular Show (Mordecai, Rigby, my favorite Rigby quote:"Stop talking!", Pops)
Phineas and Ferb (Perry, Doof, Ferb, Phineas)
