About me

Gender Female
Location Chicago/Cicero, IL, United States
Introduction I want to be happy. Really happy. A lot of the time I am. . . enough of the time, probably. But that's what I'm always working on--finding joy and the happiness in the world and art and the people around me and even in the mundane. . . and my job is to spread that, too. To smile at people on the train and to hold doors for strangers and to pick up litter and turn tail-side up pennies to head-side up for the next passerby. I want to make the world a better place, one penny at a time.
Interests Fiber Arts, Knitting, Crocheting, Writing, Cooking, Gardening (goal? lots of veg in a tiny space year round), Paring down the amount of things that clutter my life, making things that are so cute you will want to chew your own arm off.
