Biography

My name is Natalea (pronounced "Natalie") and I love making things! That could mean anything from cupcakes to blankets and everything inbetween. Creativity is what keeps me going- whether it's my own or someone else's. I either like to be having fun or sleeping- nothing much inbetween. Seriously, having fun, or sleeping, that's it!
I am an ESL teacher to refugees by day; an avid reader and crafter by night. I blog here because it's self-indulgent and keeps me sane.
