About Me

Mary M.: South Beach, Oregon, United States; Designer/drafter for a small civil engineering firm in a small town, but willing to draw pretty much anything to keep the bank account in the black. Living more simply, growing more of my food, drafting the perfect pants pattern and getting organized are my current goals. Everything else is gravy.
