I'm an astigmatic expat writer, editor, author of crochet books, blogger and irrepressible brainstormer who loves thunderstorms, good books, sushi and wants to learn how to skateboard. I write here about creative business, crafts, books and ideas that force their way out of my brain. I write elsewhere about creativity, crochet and how awesome Vancouver is.
