The girl behind the scenes..


Thats me on the left…and my favorite robot-man Brian
Last Update: April 19th, 2013

I am always curious about the people behind the blogs I read, so I figured you might be curious enough about me to want to know more. It’s almost as good as peeking into the cabinet under my bathroom sink, but not quite.

1. Where are you from?
I was born in Western Australia and lived all over the country until 2002 when I moved to the Washington DC area. I have been living here ever since.

2. What made you decide to start Strewth?
I originally started writing on Strewth to keep my family back home up to date on my life. Once I met Brian and we bought a house, it evolved into more of a DIY blog…but I still only believe that my family reads along ;)

3. What do you do?
I work for an Interior Design Firm located in the metro DC area. I actually have a degree in Environmental Science, so this isn’t necessarily the career I thought I would have…but it turns out, it’s definitely the career I love with all my heart.

4. How did you meet your robot-husband?
Online! We met for the first time (in person) at a local coffee shop and I decided then and there that I liked this soft spoken wee-man. Apparently he thought i was a little nuts (how right he probably was!) but was still happy to hang out. We watched a lot of movies, drank a lot of slurpies and spent a lot of time together. We bought a house in 2010 and got married September 10th 2011 in our backyard. He is my best friend and favourite goofy-goober.

5. Where do you get your craftiness from?
100% from my mum :) From the time I was really little I remember my mum being ridiculously crafty – in fact one of my favourite memories was receiving a shoe box full of clothes for my barbie doll, that she had sewn, for Christmas. My mum got me hooked on longstitch as a young girl, then cross stitch..and eventually she bought me my own sewing machine. I’m not a pro by any means (in fact, what’s the opposite of pro?) but I do enjoy any time I spend with my crafty side.
