About the Curious Crone – that’s me!
Hi, I’m Dani. I’m a storyteller, a mom, an explorer, a maker, and a dilettante, among other things. I spent 20 years parenting out loud and in the public eye through my blog, Postcards from the Mothership, and Curious Crone is my vehicle to explore and share what comes next.
As my kids got older and I was able to carve out more and more time for myself, I chased curious impulses through a series of hobbies, mostly fuelled by the question “I wonder what happens if…” As I consumed reference books and joined forums and watched YouTube tutorials, I realized that many people need encouragement and permission to explore and experiment with creativity. That’s what I’m offering – permission to play and have fun, plus a few supplies and some guidance on how to get started, so you can kindle your own spark of curiosity.
