I am passionate about good design, engaging photography, helpful technology, and delicious coffee. When it’s time to relax and unwind, I can be found crocheting or coloring, sometimes with a pint of Guinness or a good single malt.

I am married to a creative leathercrafter with an engineer’s skill set and a love for motorcycles. We spend much of our time together riding and hanging out with our biker friends. (And before that freaks you out, they are on the good side of the law, not outlaws.) We are owned by two house panthers who are frequent stars in my social media posts.

This website provides the opportunity for me to share my knowledge and experience in the several arenas that have captured my interests. If you have a question or suggestion for a post, feel free to drop me a line.
