I’ve thought a lot about “home” in the past few years. About four years ago I started collecting tiny houses and placing them around my own home as decoration. I lived in an apartment at the time. I never even wanted to own my own home and despite not understanding where my little “collection” was […]
I’ve been doing a lot of quiet contemplation lately. 2020 taught me-not only is it okay to slow down-but it’s mandatory for the sake of my mental health. Over the past year I have spent time collecting photos, pressing plants, and learning how to give myself a break. Part of giving myself a break means […]
Ferns that hang from trees can now hang from our ears! Here’s the story of this awesome collaboration of two bad ass women! Amber (@gingermadeartisan) and I met in Jacksonville, FL when we both lived there in 2013. Neither of us live in Jax anymore but we’ve followed each other on Instagram for years and […]
Hope is something we could all use right now and one way I think I might be able to bring some hope is teach people how to connect with their inner self through SoulCollage. SoulCollage has been a powerful way for me to explore and heal many parts of myself and I became a Facilitator […]

I recently read an article recently that suggested winter is a time to slow down. It rubbed me the wrong way immediately. Who was this […]
A few things inspired me to make journals. One-I’ve been thinking about the journal I’m supposed to be working on through The Sketchpad Project…it’s due February and I’ve had it for almost a year. That sounds very artist-y doesn’t it? (Not doing something until the last minute) Also, click HERE to see new items listed […]
I’ve always found eco-dying fascinating and I told myself I’d learn more about it some day. When I stumbled upon (literally) some giant black walnuts on the ground, I immediately knew what I was going to do with them. My first experience with black walnut dye was when I was at Penland last Summer (2018). […]
I had the pleasure of attending the Maker’s Faire this past weekend in Jonesborough, TN. You may be wondering how I learned about it and why I traveled 3 1/2 to get there, but that’s easy. Before we moved to TN we did a lot of research and Johnson City is one of the places […]
