MarthaHaskins's Profile

Bio

A t-shirt I designed for the Gap "Vote for ____" Advertising Campaign was chosen! My shirt (and myself) were featured in every store window in the nation from October 24 thru November 5, 2008!

...and more personally:
I am an ENFP!
I laugh at everything (especially when I hurt myself).
I will tell you if you have food in your teeth.
I wish I could fly.
I am currently studying Fashion Design at Parsons, The New School for Design in New York City and I LOVE IT!
I can muck a stall like no other and I am just learning how to jump!
I love dark chocolate-covered strawberries & chili chocolate.
I love a good book, a glass of wine, and a bathtub...or sitting by a crackling fire. (With champagne and good friends.)
I have a tattoo that says "Sonhar" in script on my right wrist. It means "to dream." And I hope that I never stop. (It is also why I opened a second shop named Sonhar - http://www.Sonhar.etsy.com)
I want another tattoo - possibly a peacock feather (and I still don't know why!!!).
I love animals and I have two cats; Leo and Tank who love to play in the grass and drive my husband crazy.
I would rather be riding my scooter, bike, a wave, or a horse at any moment.
I will always have a place in my heart for capoeira. My name was Fogueta.
I use to be on a ski team in high school, but now I love to watch the five-year olds kick my butt on the mountain.
I would train monkeys just for fun.
I'm a Husky and a Ram.
I love Lake Sunapee and Lake Hayward.
I spent four fabulous months in Florence with the most amazing group of girls and it (and they) changed my life.
I studied Vervet Monkeys on the Great Fish River Reserve in South Africa and Capuchins in the basement lab of Yale.
My husband still gives me butterflies.
Martha Haskins was my grandmothers' name.
My real name is Alexandra Whatton.
I started Martha Haskins (http://www.MarthaHaskins.etsy.com) in February 2008 and opened Sonhar in October 2008 (http://www.Sonhar.etsy.com) I love watching it all evolve…and seeing myself evolve in the process.

I want to thank all of my friends and family for all their love, support, creativity, and ideas...without you, I would be nothing.

And thank you for both reading and shopping Etsy!

Sincerely,
Alexandra Whatton
