About the Author

Hi, I'm Anita — the one person behind YYC Crafts and the voice behind Notes From the Basement.

I'll be upfront with you: I have a hard time explaining myself. My views on life have changed but don't ask me what they are exactly because I'll jump from topic to topic before I get there. That's just how my brain works. I've made peace with it.

What I can tell you is this — I put everyone else ahead of myself more than I should. I'm working on that. I really enjoy my business even though it's tough as hell doing it all alone sometimes. But that's also what makes it so rewarding.
This year I've listened to 60 books so far. A little bit of everything — I'm not fussy, I just love a well written story. I got my first tattoo last year and I'm already planning the next one.

I'm AuDHD, I run a handmade business from my basement in Calgary, and I'm figuring out who I am while also trying to make things that matter.
I do have one supervisor down here — Fuzz, my orange cat. He checks in throughout the day mostly to see if anything on the desk is worth knocking off it. He's not much help but he's excellent company.

Oh — and I can't concentrate without my noise cancelling headphones. It is seriously so fricken noisy in here sometimes.
Welcome to the basement. 🌱
