About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Arts
Location	Toronto
Introduction	This blog is mostly a record of the little moments in my family's life, sometimes document things I make and occasionally might have some random insight to share. I'm quiet, introverted, I like to make things, enjoy music with good lyrics and am into natural health and sustainable living. Oh, I also love to read and watch UK tv when I have time. And drink tea...and occasionally knit..and very occasionally paint..and very very occasionally travel. I also like languages, but the German and Latin I learned in university are quickly fading away, sadly. What else? Fashion school drop-out, finished my BA at U of T and a diploma in technical writing.
