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.

    Going to try to keep this to a quick(ish) update, and get back into posting regularly again. I last posted way back in November, and surprising no one, there’s been a lot that’s happened since then. December was the normal holiday blur, and I took some much needed time off. Got to do a little bit of interpretation at Fort Dobbs (and try to figure out how to make the oven work when we burned the door by accident). January was slow in a mostly good way, and I tried to establish some new habits to give myself the kind of routine that makes me more comfortable day to day.…
