And so it begins

My first blog post seems to be a good place to explain myself/the "why" of this blog's existence. To be honest, I like talking about myself and the things I'm interested to anyone that will listen. Even if I'm just imagining an internet audience. Good enough for me! Oops. Too honest. It's one of my "things."

In addition to my narcissism, I am feeling very inspired by my very lovely, and equally talented, friend Katie at http://katiesredumbrella.blogspot.com/ and all the ladies on Ravelry.com and Etsy.com. I love all things crafty and home based but between a 50hr/week job, pursuing theatre, planning a wedding and talking about myself, it takes some creativity to find the time. Also of note: I lost about 40 pounds in the last few months by going mostly vegan (sorry, PETA cheese is just too good to give up forever). I hope to capture a few fun/easy craft ideas, some (mostly) animal friendly recipes, and a bunch of my failures in this space. So here's to us, my minions of imaginary internet friends. Let's raise a glass and have an adventure!
