About

So here's the page where I'm supposed to tell you a little bit about myself. I decided to go old-school and use one of those "survey" email forwards to give you some random highlights of me. If you really want to know something more, send me a message or leave a comment and I'll answer if I can.

Before we get to the randomness, I guess I should tell you a bit about the blog and its' cast of characters. If you read my first post, you'll know that I have no plans to make this blog about any particular subject. My other half (Greg) and I (Amy) are both outdoorsy, creative people and we like to do a lot of random things, individually and together with our kids. This blog will be a journal of sorts for sharing stories about some of the adventures and projects that we work on. I'll also talk about some of my other crafty hobbies here too. You can also check out some of my crafty things on ravelry (rav name: atbly6) or on the atbly6 facebook page.

We live in "the city" but try to get out of it as much as possible! Our house is ruled by three midgets that I will call: Mr. B, Miss N and Mr. L. As of December 2014, Mr. B and Miss N are 4.5 years old and Mr. L is 23 months - where has the time gone?? Things can get a little chaotic from time to time but that's why we take turns hiding in the bathroom  it's worth it :) As much as possible, we try to include the kids in all of our journeys and experiments. They usually get at least as much joy from our walks and crafts as we do! And if not, we bribe them with fruit snacks until we get back to the car lol
