I am in the flux of becoming an adult and pretending that I am one. Going to school at a lesser know state university has been depressing at its worst and interesting and full of opportunities at best. I guess it’s one f those attitude things. Some days my attitude is better than others. One thing is for sure, I am on the brink of leaving university with a BFA in Painting and a minor in art history. At the same time, for the last year I have been fostering my dearest of projects
as well as following my passion of dyeing yarns with natural dyes,
Can all this possibly add up to a living? I can only hope with more time allowed for following my creative cravings it will. I am on the brink of being a working artist. And it sure is exciting.
Here, on this blog, I want to share the day to day with you. Not just what makes it into a gallery or Craft Leftovers, but the crafting I do for myself. The baking and making and frustrations and the glue in my hair and having to chop off eight inches because of it experiences.

Hello Kristin, my name is Robyn Wells. I live in DeKalb and was listening to your interview on craft sanity when it originally aired. I was so shocked to hear that you are living in DeKalb (for the time being.)
I’m a spinner, fiber fan, and artist too. I really enjoy reading your site and appreciate all the local stuff like “oh, I took that class” and “I know that place” etc.
I read on your blog where you mentioned Trixie and while I don’t know her personally, she works with my friend Al and is friends with my friend Mary Kay. I think you know Mary Kay too, maybe? Anyway, my sister sent me a link to the article in the Chronicle about your piece at the Yarn Exchange and I kept thinking I would go down and check it out and introduce myself. Well, lets just say I’m pretty shy and chickened out, but now the semester is drawing to an end, so I thought I would at least send an internet “hello” before you leave town.
Good luck on wrapping up the semester!
