About Me



Bread & Butter: Wordsmith & Photo Gal at GelaSkins

Jam: Blogger | Top Dog/Designer at Dudley & Bea 

Beliefs: Manners, impractical underthings, make-believe, DIY 

Truths: I have bruises on my knees and lipstick on my teeth. Matchy-matchy is my nightmare. 

Me: I prefer animals to people most of the time, even the ones that make me sneeze. This may explain my (tenuous) dedication to Ovo-Lacto-Pesco Vegetarianism. Poutine, though, is my Kryptonite. When I'm not making love to my iPhone, I fill my time with designing dog coats, daydreaming about living over the rainbow, and documenting my vicarious rock-stardom through this blog. I admit to being prone to road rage, but luckily I choose to bike.

Your Yoko: Start here. OK, done? So that's how it was born, but this little monster has grown. She has her own identity now, much like the Yoko's very special post-John/Beatles self (and maybe mine is just as unstable). Sure, I married a music-man, but there's love beyond the green room and life behind the front row. I blog about the rest of it: crafts, DIY projects, style (on a budget), messing up life, things I love on Etsy, things that make me furious, things that make me squeal and dirty-laundry love. 

Carmen Sandiego? I currently split my time between La-La Land, and Toronto, Canada where I nest with my (very patient) husband and two raucous rescue terriers.
