About Me

I’ve always enjoyed making things, and first picked up knitting over a decade ago. That was followed soon after by spinning.

I’ve been involved to varying degrees with the living history community for a little less than a decade, and got my start in the mid- to late-18th century. I’ve since branched out to the late 19th century. Who knows what’s next.

I first got involved in archaeology in 2011, soon found my way into a graduate program. I’ve worked in CRM (cultural resource management) since 2014.

    January 1, 2021 /

    I’m not usually a new year, new goals kind of person. But in the interest of imposing some order in my life while outside order isn’t being imposed on me, I’m going to give it a whirl. In no particular order… Create a fiber arts related challenge for myself for three months in 2021. Doing my 100 Days of Stashbusting challenge helped get me back into more regular spinning and knitting. I even got a couple of spinning projects done as a result. And since I got a subscription to the Paradise Fibers Fiber of the Month Club, the stash is going to keep growing quickly if I don’t stay…
