What is the biggest problem or sad thing in your life? Of course, I mean the saddest or worst thing you can confess here.

Long standing mental health issues - mostly depression/anxiety... and paradoxically, therapy. I mean, therapy is the best thing I've ever done but it's also very intense and at times unbearably difficult so there are days when I get back from a therapy session and just want to crawl into bed and hide from the world...

What fashion item or style do you like, but never wear?

Corset/waspie style waist belts. I always admire them but wouldn't know when to wear them...

Do you like to cook? if so, what? Would you like things like spices, cookbooks, recipes, tips?

I do like cooking and spices and vegetarian cookbooks are very welcome.

Do any of you like puzzle books?

No, not really.

I love Christmas music even though I'm pagany -- how about you?

Only if it's a bit more "indie"... maybe general winter music instead of Christmas music. Although I've been listening to a gothic Christmas album I downloaded (Black Noel) and it's really quite good.

Anyone else have a sudden and unexpected favorite BPAL lately?

No but a sudden and unexpected favourite Villainess - Retrograde perfume! I'm currently contemplating just how many bottles I can allow myself to order... at least 2 for sure. As for BPAL, I've been trying to spend more time discovering new GC loves out of my huge pile of yet untested imps. Black Rose is one of my new loves.

It's cold outside - what are your favorite drinks to keep yourself warm and cozy?

Tea and hot chocolate. And hot Ribena, which might be a UK thing? Ribena is a blackcurrant juice.

Would my potential Witchee be up for some music stuff they'd never heard before if they couldn't understand the words?

As someone who has a native language (Finnish) most people don't understand, that's no problem at all!

What kind of candy/sweet treat would you like to receive?

Chocolate is always good! I'm vegetarian so can't eat many of my old favourite sweets because they have gelatine in them.

Would you personally rather get handmade jewelry or the beads to make something yourself?

Beads. Unless you make jewellery that is very different from my style in which case handmade jewellery is great, too. But I'm not really the best person to buy jewellery for because I make it.

Speaking of which, how many Browncoat witches do we have?? And if you are, would you be interested in getting a Kaylee parasol? If not, would you be interested in getting a paper parasol hand painted with your favorite colors?

Not a Browncoat at all, sorry.

Is there any time during the holidays (or the rest of the round) when you'll be away from home for a significant period and it'd be best not to send anything by mail?

No, I will be here all the time.

To make up for the fact that I probably won't be able to send my witchee homebaked goodies, will Tim Tams in any number of varieties be an acceptable replacement?

Absolutely! Well, if they're vegetarian?

Which witches would like hair accessories: clips, scrunchies, hairsticks, headscarves, etc?

Clips and grips are best. My hair is very silky and nothing tends to stay in it so hairsticks are pretty much out...

On a similar note, who likes yarn? What kinds/colors/weights/fibers? Handspun? Glitter? Funky art yarn made from shredded jeans, fake flowers, lace, sequins, and the tattered souls of your enemies? Other craft supplies you desperately want more of and can't live without?

Yarn is very good although I have to admit I hardly get time to knit anything these days. But maybe if I had yarn sent to me, then I might feel inspired! As for other craft supplies, I have a weakness for rubber stamps.

Anyone else a total nerd like me and would like DnD/Roleplay stuff (Dice, minis, books, corny tees, etc.)?

No, not for me.

Question: who would like a pair of handknit socks? Size? Color preference? Cabled, ribbed (for your pleasure), stranded colorwork, etc.?

I would love handknit socks! For the past four years I've been wearing these socks my grandmother knit me as bed socks or just at home when it's cold. Colour preference - something black, grey or purple, or deep red. I would mostly likely wear them indoors and to bed so whatever seems suitable for that. Size is UK 4/EU 37.

How does everyone feel about steampunk?

Quite neutral, really. I'm not crazy about it, but I don't have anything against it either. The jewellery is not really me.

Since we're talking about warm winter wearables, who likes hats? Mittens? Arm warmers?

Yes, all of them. Arm warmers especially are much loved and needed.

If your witch were to send you cookies, what kind of cookies would you like?

Anything really - maybe chocolate chip?

Who likes tshirts? What about homemade tshirts? Like with transfers I made myself....

I do! I usually wear a tshirt under a cardigan when it's colder. Homemade is good!

What witch would like a cloak?

That would be amazing! Something black with maybe purple lining, or just pure black.
