I am a work at home mom and aspiring Martha Stewart impersonator.

I tend to work in a combination of large-project-bursts - Craftstravaganzas, if you will - and small-project-marathons, which usually involve an almost symbiotic relationship between myself and my sewing machine.

I particularly enjoy creating everyday items that are useful, whimsical, and beautiful. Totes, and wallets, and brooches are just some of my muses. I also really love to make soft toys and small ornaments.

I work with a mix of new and vintage/thrifted fabrics and am happy to take custom orders - your fabric or mine.
