Backstory
- Julie
- Pennsylvania, United States
- I'm currently a stay at home mother, freelance writing on my off time, wondering how I became part of the ten thousand year old tradition of raising the kids while creating textiles. I grew up in NE Ohio dairy country, married a sailor, lived in Hawaii ten years, lived in SC for five years, then moved back to culture shock and confusion. Nothing but good times ahead.

Thank you!
Martinis? Legos? Monty Python? Knitting? We so have to meet up. Give me a week or so to recover from my "vacation" and coffee is definitely a go.
can I come too?
then you can demonstrate steeking in person. It's only a 20+ hour flight. I don't mind. Honestly.
hilarious
