TWiP: Fewer Words

This Week in Pictures, Week 17, 2017

Then and Now

These days, instead of starting my day with crafty blogs, I wake up with the New York Times and have my morning coffee in front of three monitors and a screen full of PHP code.

TWiP: This and That

This Week in Pictures, Week 16, 2017

I knit a total of 8 rounds this week, and that was the extent of my creativity. I photographed some flowers, went to a school event, celebrated a holiday, had busy week at work…. Just a little bit of this and a little bit of that.

This Week in Pictures, Week 13, 2017

Happy First Day of April! I hope this means the warm weather is just around the corner. March has just been far too cold!

About me

Technical writer by day; yarn, polymer clay, and fabric aficionado by night. If it sits still long enough and looks pretty, I will photograph it. I’m married to a sci-fi editor, and am mother to two highly-entertaining teenage boys.

        Come and see what I made this weekend! Plus, I'm offering 10% off, if you want to buy some of these items and save me the trouble of listing them in the shop :-)
              • Shop talk (2011)
                When I first created this shop, it was designed around my work at the time, which was almost entirely in Millefiori Polymer Clay. It worked well at the time. In the last four years, my work has evolved to include other materials, and even other techniques in the polymer itself. I don't think the layout of the shop has worked for some time, and I am ready to do something about it.
