About

Crafting bio: I have a lot of memories of helping my mom with sewing and quilting projects growing up (along with cooking and travelling), and taught myself to knit after I graduated college to keep my brain from rotting in the less intellectually stimulating atmosphere of the pizza restaurant where I was then employed. Now I have a nine-to-fiver in our nation's capital and have less time for crafting, but am quickly learning that a priority reassessment is in order, because if I make it to my fourth decade without finishing a real crochet or embroidery project, I will die of shame. Also, I took on a job at a yarn shop to finance my crafting habit.

Other bio-bits:
* Born and raised in Oklahoma, and still feel like a midwesterner at heart
* Studied in Russia (and worked there for a bit)
* Work for a high school student exchange program
