Taryn As a child, Taryn could be found playing with Lite Brite, sorting M&M’s by color before eating them, or going through all the coloring books, making sure all the apples and tongues were red. At camp, she’d choose crafts over sports every time–hands down. That’s where she learned to make bookmarks from plastic canvas and cover her shoelaces in beaded friendship pins. In high school, Taryn opened up a small business specializing in custom friendship bracelets, which she conducted out of her locker. (That folded when some mean boys stole her box of embroidery floss–she heard later–only to unravel them all into the garbage cans in Shop class.) Undaunted, she moved on to find the crafts she still enjoys now: rubberstamping, cross-stitching, and making the holidays as festive and colorful as they can be. St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, and Easter are personal favorites–so expect some holiday-themed crafts coming soon! Her other interests include watching non-mainstream film, reading and writing creative nonfiction, and creating lists at listology.com. She also has an affinity for Canadian music, pop-culture, and all things Celtic. In the future, she hopes to learn to play the violin, speak French, interpret dreams, handpaint furniture, Irish step-dance, analyze handwriting, and harness her own creativity.
