cheryl lohrmann

Cheryl Lohrmann-Riggs is an at-home mother to Leo, now 18 months old; the mostly-voluntary director of Create Plenty, which has two programs, the International Plastic Quilt Project and the latest Inconvenience Store 1.0; and a founding member of the Critical Bath Soap Cooperative start-up within the Leaven Community. She has taken a solemn vow to start nothing else for a while, but fervently still takes part in things others have in hopes that some new microcosm will form that ties them all together. She has lived in Portland since 2003, following her roots in the Pacific Northwest, and now resides in Northeast Portland with her industrious husband Dustin, four chickens and kitten named Omen. She has planted her first winter garden this year.

* This will be our last gathering till who-knows-when...February? March? Maybe ever? We shall discern around this question in the next couple of months & get back to you on that.
In the meantime, stay warm, eat seasonally as you can, be healthy, keep fighting the good fight if you're into that, be light when needed, be dark when needed too, I guess...
Just take care.
