About Me

My life is centered around yarn, knitting and being in a band with my husband. i like to cut my own hair sometimes, though it's not always a good idea. i am very sensitive to caffeine - decaf can make me unbearably hyper. i am extremely accident prone. i like chicken puppets.

Thanks to Diana at www.dianasudyka.com for making me some lovely banners for all my internet needs!
