Hi! I'm Marion.

she/her/hers

You can call me May, if you want. I make a lot of stuff.

Chances are, you already know me from somewhere else.
I'm glad you came here! This is where the magic happens.

In my feed, I'll be posting little snippets about my day. You'll be able to see pictures of whatever craft I'm working on (yes, it often changes daily), what my baby's doing, what things I'm liking, and all sorts of other randomness. I have an RSS feed for dailies here.

You'll also find long-form monthly updates about the big narratives of my life. You can sign up for email notifications about those!

Email me blog related questions, suggestions, comments etc at marionmakesblog@gmail.com. Same rule applies though, don't be pissed if I don't respond.

But who am I right now?

I'm Erica's mama. That's the most important thing.
Nate's proud, grateful wife.
Best friend and guardian to Lily (Yellow Lab), Merlin (DSH Cat), and Melange (DLH Cat).

Furious liberal, proud polyamorous demi/graysexual.
Pretty agnostic, I reckon.
Yes, Extended Family Member, really. No, I don't know where my parents went wrong. Yes, I'm very sorry I made you google "demi/graysexual."

I'm a yarn crafter, an artist, and an unpublished (for now) author. I do copperplate calligraphy. I occasionally paint miniature figures.

私は日本語で学生だ。 I am a student of Japanese language.

I also like to hand bind very flawed hardcover notebooks - a failed business venture - and give them away to people. If you want one, hit me up, I'll see if I have any for ya.
