I'm a clerk at a steel forge here in beautiful Seattle, where I also live with my wonderful little cat who is named Potato because she looks like one, and to honor my Idaho roots. Besides practicing new vegan recipes I help run a knitting group, I do sociable crafting and work on a zine about the indie lifestyle and personal creativity.
