About Me


I'm the mother of 3 wonderful children who both amaze me and drive me crazy.  They at 11, 12 and 15 years old.  Not very young kids, but not yet grown.

My dear parents are in their mid-70s.  Old enough to have slowed down a bit, but not so old that they need my help on a regular basis.

I'm a lawyer by training, but I've retired my law license.  At 44 years old.  

I have several disabling conditions that have prevented me from working for five years now.  But I do plenty of work.  I'm a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. I'm an aspiring writer.

I'm Catholic by upbringing, but am (probably) in the process of leaving the Church.  Last month's announcement by the Pope that priests cannot bless same-sex marriages was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back.  I just don't think I can stay anymore.

I've been happily married for 18 years. There are no "buts" when it comes to my marriage.

The Grief of 2020

It's grief, they say, this anxious ache, You miss the things you used to take For granted. Kids at school, recess at play. You in the office, day after day. Barbecues, weddings, party tents. The world when it used to make sense. The new world has too many rules. Stay at home; don't go to school. Social distance, mask your face; Pray for mercy and a little grace. Miss the hugs, the getting and giving. Keep your old among the living.

My Projects

I have always been "crafty", as my college roommate would put it.  I started with latch hook rugs and tin punch pieces with my mother.  She is my inspiration for my crafting.  My mom never looks at a craft and says "I could never do that".  If she wants to make something, she does.  She may make a lot of mistakes along the way and have to start over a few times, but my mom makes what she wants to make.  I try to channel that spirit.  For instance, when my husband and I bought our house I decided that I would sew curtains even though I had barely used a sewing machine before.  I make rectangular, super simple curtains for the dining room and then decided that roman shades would look best in the living room.  I purchased a pattern for roman shades and many yards of fabric and just did it.  My mom was really impressed. Here's a selection of my projects:
