Knitsicle

I am an elementary Art Teacher and I love my job, even when it's overwhelming.

I love to knit and spin.

I have a small collection of Back to the Future toys and a small collection of James Jarvis figures.

I am married to an art student (not one of mine, one at the University of North Texas) and we have a very funny five year old daughter named Annabelle.
