Hi! I'm Opal.

I have a lot of hobbies and needed a spot to remind myself what I've already done already and what I want to do in the future.

Here are my ongoing projects:

Project Marie
I'm restoring a 1969 BMW 2002 with the help of my dad. Check out my project and follow me Instagram.com/seattlemotorgirl  for my latest car posts.

Let me cook!
I'm looking forward to going to Summer Culinary in July. I'm going to add my favorite recipes and stuff here if you want to check it out.

I know how to sail. What is a pirate's favorite letter? 

Adding more details to these pages is one of my Summer 2025 projects. Check back soon for updates!

I'm a friend to all animals. 

Let me cook! This is my culinary stuff.

I am an introvert.

I sail in San Diego (where it's warm.)

I am an audiophile. Playlist coming soon.

If you'd like, I can create a sample wireframe or HTML layout you could build on. Just let me know how involved you want the site to be (e.g., DIY feel or polished portfolio).
