I figured it was about time that i wrote some info about myself haha xD 

My name is Sebrina. I am 39 years old and i live in Denmark. :)

 I have been diagnosed with schizophrenia many years ago and i also suffer from anxiety attacks. I take medication for both things and as of current day, i am doing super well.

I officially won my battle for the handicap pension september 2021.
A 10 year battle.
As i had to be realistic and accept that my mental state always get worse when i have to do things outside of my home.
I am now a pension person! :D

My favorite color is pastel mint green.
I am not sure why, but the color just makes me super happy ^3^


Sewing, crocheting and other hobbies
I love to throw myself into new hobbies head on, but they always end up being really expensive, once i move onto better quality materials. The market in Denmark is not very big for homemade stuff, so my best bet is Etsy and other places online. But it takes a lot of time and effort to get noticed. And trying to build up a client base is even more work.
I am still hooked on sewing doll clothes, and i am slowly building up patterns and fabrics to use.

Crocheting has been my favorite burning passion for a while now. I have started to make some crochet clothes. Still learning, but it is so much fun! :D I have a pretty good understanding of english patterns now, so making amigurumi and clothes is a fair bit easier now!

I draw here and there, trying to get better little by little. Sometimes i can draw for hours, other times its just a fast doodle and then i give up haha.
I try to draw more on my Ipad, since it is easy to take with me to places. But i keep forgetting how to use the damn procreate app so i need to watch tuts to re-learn all the time hahaha xD

I started on Deviantart with the intention of sharing my drawings.
But i have somewhere along the way taken a sharp turn towards more craft related hobbies.

 I can be a very mean person, at least if you ask me....

I don't think any of my crafts are worth the watchers, comments and faves i get, because i still think i got a long way to go before i feel i got enough skill to accept when people say it looks good. But i am very picky myself on what i like and don't like. I can look at all the pictures on Deviantart, both drawings and crafts and i still to this day sometimes want to hit myself over the head, for thinking something is "ugly" or "not good enough" to deserve my watch, comment or fave.

I hate myself for that! :(

I don't wanna judge anyone, but i always end up doing exactly that! Urgh it can be so frustrating, i want to like everything! People put so much love and effort into making something and they got every right to be proud. So i feel like a mean person for not seeing what they see....

On that note...
What type of art/crafts do i tend to watch?
I mostly Watch artists that makes crafts. The more original and cute the better.
I find artists who draw in their own unique style from time to time and i think it is awesome when you have your own unique style. So i usually give a watch for that and look forward to seeing more. I'm a sucker for fan art, specially Legend of zelda! ;)
It is rare that i find an artist in the photo section of DA i want to watch.
I think i have found a few, but mainly photos are not my passion. I mean, it is super cute, the photo of that cute kitten and all that. But there is soooooo many of them out there. I just don't feel it is "special" Does that make sense? xD
But browsing DA is a lot of fun. There are so many talented crafters and artists, it never runs out!!! :D

I also have a confession...
I'm the annoying "look and run" type.
Which means i see what the people i watch submit, i just always forget to take a minute to leave a comment -_-
I really need to get better at leaving comments, because i like when i get comments myself, but i can't be down when i get none, since i am not very good at leaving them myself hahahaha xD
 

There are many things i like and dislike.

I like anime, cosplay, horror/gore (the more blood, brains and guts, the more i like it) <---- weirdo xD

I like nature, pets, family and friends. All that stuff that i think many, many people around the world like! ^_^

I got my cute little kitten Link july 23th 2017 He is soooo cute!!!
His birthday is may 1st.

But the one thing i love above anything else, is creating something and seeing the love in the person's eyes when they get the creation. I don't really care about getting stuff myself, but i loooove to give gifts, or sell stuff, that people will have for many years and cherish! :D

 

Hmmm what do i dislike??

I don't like when i run i get so out of breath i feel like i'm dying.

So i have decided to stop smoking and get in shape. (Currently i am vaping, hoping to put that down one day and be 100% nicotine addicted free!)

Or that my pants fall down while running so i trip haha

Oh ya and every girl with big boobs knows how painful it is to run at full speed because it hurts sooo bad xD

I am not a big fan of loud music, i get headaches and i get angry when i have to shout at people for them to hear what i say.

My old sewing machine likes to snap the thread A LOT. That is something that can really make me boil -_-

Hmm. What else is there to know about me?

I can't think of anything else.

Ask away if there is anything you want to know! :D

 

Stay safe people! ^_^
