About Me

Nov 12th, 2008 by S. Anderson

So, after three years and 100 blog posts, I have decided I needed an About Me page.   So, here is what you need to know about me.

Where I live:

I live just outside Manhattan…..Kansas, that is.  My town is so tiny that they don’t even deliver our mail, so you probably have never heard of it.  I love our house, but I know that we will be moving in May of 2009.  Where is still a little up in the air.

What I do for work:

I teach technical writing at the university in town. This is the fourth school I have taught at in the last eight years.  My husband (aka “the boy”) is in the military, so we move around quite a bit.  I love what I do, even though the grading practically kills me every semester!

Right now, I am teaching written communication for engineers and a writing for the workplace class.  I love my students.  They write me these amazingly technical and hugely complex reports every semester.  They satisfy my analytical quest for information that I don’t really need.  If you ever have a conversation with me, no doubt I will say “I had a student write me a report on that….” at least once.  My friends call me a sponge, so I love to suck up everything they write about, except maybe car engines.  For some reason, I can’t absorb the way an engine works.

What I like to do for fun:

As you might be able to tell from all I have posted here, I love to sew.  I am completely self-taught, and that shows on some projects more than others.  I don’t really like patterns and use what other people have done as ideas for my own stuff.

I read a ton of blogs everyday, and I gain so much information from the others in the online crafting community.  I hope to someday open an etsy shop of my own, but that would require more time to craft than I have right now.  But, who knows what will happen in the future. I also have a dream to someday open the ultimate crafting store.  It would be an amazing place!

In addition to sewing, I am a closet scrapbooker and jewelry maker.  And, I would love to learn how to make lampwork beads.

I also love to spend time with my family, friends, and our many, many animals.

Everything Else:

You can contact me at sandy.anderson [at] mac.com if you ever have any questions!  I would love to hear from you!
