I grew up crafting. The basement had a giant cupboard of supplies and boxes of "rescued" odds-and-ends. I could put them together however I wanted. My mom was (and is) an avid fibre crafter and she encouraged me to be creative. I dreamed of creating and selling things that people loved as much as they loved my mom's sweaters and hats.

In early 2012, I was laid off from a company job. I'd worked hard while there to learn to draw. They wanted me to be a graphic artist, and drawing was not a craft I'd grown up around!

Suddenly, I had a lot of time on my hands to make things. And these are the things I'm making!
