“Make Do and Mend.” Eighteen years ago I moved to Australia, and since I couldn’t yet get a job, I hand sewed a quilt. It was made from old shirts and bedsheets, and I was really proud. Over time some of the fabric started to wear through, so tonight I added the first patches. And why not make it visible?

Important Note

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
