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.

I’m doing pretty well at getting two blog posts done each month (even if I just squeak them in by writing the draft on the last day of the month and publishing it in on first day of the next month). I’m close to finishing the second of three fiber arts related challenges I’ve set for myself. But my other goal – completing six living history projects in 2021 – is going much less well. How much less well? As of April 28th, I’ve completed one of the six projects. And I completed that *on* the 28th.…
