Welcome to my corner of the web. I started this blog in January 2006 as a way to reinvigorate my knitting, chronicle the “handicraft” side of Amy Artisan and share other things that are a part of my world. Artisan (a skilled worker who practices some trade or handicraft) is a word that seems to encompass who I am.

• On the “work” side of the equation, the labels include…Consultant – Trainer – Manager – Mentor – Leader. By day, I am a business and systems consultant – my focus is organizational change management. In doing this work for 15 years, I have had many stretches of time that have been on the road which can definitely impact the “life” part of work + life = balance.

• On the “life” side of the equation, the labels are many…Cook – Photographer – Traveler – Gardener – Memory Maker – Knitter – Reader – M’Amy – Sister – Daughter – Friend!

• I use this blog to share insights into my adventures in crafting, cooking, gardening, photography, reading and more. I also write about my travels and memories made with dear family and friends.

 

I currently call Chicago home; however, I came to this locale by way of many moves while growing up and early in my career. I’m a Kansas girl at heart with heavy influences of California and Georgia in me.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
