Second sleeve! Woot!

Okay. The purple hair.

Backstory

My photo
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.
