"In 2005 I started Entertaining Forkless catering (http://entertainingforkless.com), an appetizer only cocktail party based culinary service. It became a huge hit but I also found myself taking on side jobs for additional income and fun. From making a wedding veil, decoupaging historic photo memories into a huge wall painting, organizing a garage sale, bartending on a yacht, gutting a basement, sewing curtains and teaching a private cooking class... I realized I needed to put all of my weird skills into one site.

Why the name the Busy Butternut? When you think of a butternut squash, I hope it brings thoughts of warm buttery pasta or marshmellowy sweet potato pie. Warmth, happiness, family, whimsy and home. Toss in there an extremely hectic schedule and you have me! I put all of my heart and energy into each and every project I take on. A day spent at Michael's Craft Store is perfection. Throw in a trip to the grocery store and it's heaven. I'm not happy unless I'm creating, so please let me make something for you!"
