A U G U S T A // Still thinking about this finished beauty. I remember gathering the driftwood in Crescent City, CA, and I knew it was going to be a special piece once I could visualize it in its entirety. And I am so pleased & proud with how it turned out! This morning I brought it into local shop where I sell some of my pieces, & I was so happy to see it in the window display! It’s going to make someone’s home very happy. ✨ Now, onto the next piece that will take up our whole living room! 😂👌🏼

LOVELY PEOPLE! I know I’ve been MIA the past few months. Between children getting sick, family members being born, more family visiting, getting pneumonia, & the Christmas season, I’ve been distracted and uninspired. I also have a knee-jerk reaction/rebellion against social media telling me I had to up my holiday production for people’s consumption. (Ex. “The holidays are here! Be sure you make enough stocking stuffers to sell & go to enough markets & spend every moment making things for other people & . . . !” My response: “Heck no! I’m going off the grid. Uh, see ya!” Lol. I’m a child.) I have a hard hike finding what to balance and how to balance it, so sometimes I just back up and give it all space to breathe. I spent time with my kids making Christmas crafts & baking, resting, working my job, making very few commitments & enjoyed not feeling too run down (besides the pneumonia for six weeks).

It was nice, and now I’m back & inspired!

Not only that, but I have my pieces in a local space!!! You guys, I am so excited to be a part of a new shop opening in Squamish called Junction137 . It has several artists from around town, talents ranging from paintings, woodworking, vintage clothing, handmade reusable containers, and more! It’s a fun, eclectic mix and I’m excited to be a part of it.

Don’t worry; I still have my Etsy shop open as well!

Thanks for sticking around. Looking forward to making more knots & sharing with you fine folk!

Custom order for a dear lady with whom we crossed paths with while camping in California. She had this piece made for her trailer so her & her family could have a bit of beauty on the road. Isn’t this piece fun? A variation of another design, just made custom to fit the dimensions of her space. , I hope you live it as much as I loved making it!

Sorry for a bit of silence over here! Life has changed dramatically from what we had planned. Instead of being on the road until the end of summer, we moved back into our house last week! (Renters bailed, long story . . . ) So we revised our plans, spentvyome camping on the Oregon coast a bit, then bolted home! Now we are up to our eyeballs in boxes as we try to unpack our life while taking care of littles and trying to still soak up summertime. Needless to say, I haven’t had hours of time to create in the car, or time to post anything! But I did make this sweet thing while we were driving, and she’s pretty dang fab. ❤️ #

The ones that already have been created are available for purchase, and I can make more of the same design if you would like more than one. I also can make custom pieces tailored to each customer; just send me a personal message and we can chat!
