I am a mom who works full-time as a project manager. Besides making stuff, I also love to run and play roller derby. I have been running for many years and finished my first marathon in 2007 (which is what prompted me to start this blog to begin with). I enjoy all kinds of arts and crafts including photography, paper crafts of many kinds, crochet, knitting, quilting, sewing, cross-stitch, embroidery, beading, and more.
