I am a writer, photographer, fiber artist, and crochet pattern designer. I also have an ebay store: JoyOfCrafting.   For more about my crochet work, visit my other web site: www.CrochetWithAttitude.com.  I was born and raised in Wrangell, Alaska, where I lived until I attended college at age 33. After that, I have worked as a technical writer off and on for about 15 years, mostly in the Bellevue, Washington area, in addition to my artistic pursuits. After 8 years of again living in Wrangell, Alaska, I am currently living in Mount Vernon, Washington.
