Theres a significant overhaul necessary if I move forward as Ive spent several years away. I think previously, my last log ins were at least before 2014. I'm entirely a new person from who I was when I began. I have a home, a family, and probably a multitude more of crafting things I need to use!

My dearest friend who invited me to Swap-Bot, Maggie, passed away over 10 years ago. She was a dream of a sweet and salty friend that we all needed. I'm also seeing now how many users I'd swapped with, or gotten guidance from, who also have passed. I'm sorry I missed a moment to show my gratitude with others I'd rarely spoken to.

Alas, ONWARD!

I think a smattering of descriptive words will best relay the jumble that rolls around my thoughts of who I am;

Artist, knitter, wife, team mate, mother, do-er, volunteer, maker. I love halloween, fall, gemstone colors, cooking, canning, preserving, gardening. My indoor plants, painting, two dogs, running, upcycler.

I like a menagerie of different music types, however usually keep to folk musics (worldwide). I like instrumentalists like Ludovico Einaudi and Jonae'. I enjoy Florence and the Machine, Bon Iver, The Highwomen.
