About me

Writer. Expert at using power tools moderately well. Bleeding liberal. Medicated because I left my straightjacket at the cleaners.

I do not actually believe that there will be any kind of apocalypse (besides the slow depressing trashing of earth and human rights) but IF there was one I will survive it (in spite of being a vegetarian) and as my son Max says: we’re people you want to know during an apocalypse.  We know a lot of useful things.

***

All sewing tutorials and advice I share on this site come from years of professional experience.

I am not (and never have been) a professional chef.  I am, however, an excellent vegetarian cook and the recipes on this site are the things I’ve made that my family and friends have loved.  I put them on Stitch for my own reference and to share with others.  Expect my instructions to be those of a home cook, not a professional food writer.  Most of the recipes I share on Stitch have been tested several times before being posted but every now and then I put recipes up that I’ve only made once because it turned out so well and I don’t want to forget it later.

Whether you’re here to learn something from me or share something with me – I’m glad to have you here!

Other places you can find my work:

A is for Apron: published by Lark Books. An apron design of mine is published in this charming book full of apron projects. Working with the Lark Books editors was a joy and the project was exciting.  My mother thought I should have fought the editors harder on all points but that’s because she doesn’t understand team projects the way I do.

Guest Post at Whip Up: Come read my cool tutorial for making Surprise Bath Bombs for kids.

Better Than Bullets is my personal online journal where I write about the things inspiring both ridicule and admiration (sometimes simultaneously) in my daily life.  Come to hear stories from the writer’s desk and receive unsolicited advice on absolutely everything.
