It’s Thursday!!! I was so in the zone this week that I didn’t even think about setting up my camera to record. Ain’t nothing like being in the zone but you know what that means….no time lapses or videos. Here’s a lil peek at the pieces I worked on. Some are completely new creations and others were stained to prep for the next phase. Now it’s time to stain!

It’s Thursday!!!

It’s Thursday!!! Here’s a lil update on my largest fabric bowl today and the experimental topcoat. What do y’all think it will be in the end???
Mask mug #2!!! I love them both but this one is my favorite 💗. Both mugs dropped last week and are available now.
Here’s a closer look at one of the mask mugs that dropped last week.
Yaaaalll!!! Get into these mask mugs!!!! It’s cooling off so that means oodles of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and cider. You might just need a tribal mask mug. 👀☕️
I always get asked if I make the mugs I sell in the studio. One day I’ll try my hand at stoneware, but for now these amaaaaaaazing mugs are the only items in the studio that I don’t have a hand in creating.
They are available online now.
It’s Thursday!!! I showed y’all the beginning and middle of the process off creating this piece. Here it is all finished! 🎶“Whatcha think?” 🎶
In the process of making my biggest bowl ever and trying out a new technique. Wish me luck!
What do we do when we don’t like how things are going? We pivot! Here’s some process pictures of my most recent pivot project.
Here’s the last wood patterned piece in the collection from earlier this week. This was originally supposed to be 4 smaller pieces. After I laid the foundation for those I wasn’t feeling them at all so I pivoted. Once I pivoted I no longer had a plan so I just played with the angles and layers. It turned out to be one of my favorite wood patterned pieces that I’ve made to date. It reminds me of a kaleidoscope!!!
It’s Thursday!!! This week I worked on adding this new line of fabric bowls to the website. They made there debut at the Studioversary first. Now they are available to all. 🎉
Also y’all this gray has me in a bit of a choke hold right now😆💗
Here is the 3rd piece in the collection. When I am creating wood art each individual piece connects to another to form an angle or geometrical shape within the piece. No one piece sits alone. In keeping with this woodworking is a time of prayer, meditation, and reflection on meaningful connections. Very few/ if anything in life stands alone. Things are connected. Some times they are mental or emotional connections. Other times the are physical. Connections between the tangible and intangible. The connections we make as humans and the connections between us and God.
I grew up a church kid. There are some things about that experience that I LOVED. However it wasn’t a safe space to ask certain types of questions and look meaningful connections between things in a very curious and wonder filled way. Woodworking has been come one safe space for me to do that. And God truly meets me in that space. Grateful this part of me has been preserved💗💗💗
Good morning! Here are 2 of the five pieces I created that are currently on display in the board room of Ilene Shapiro’s office at the summit county building. Thanks for the opportunity! More on the meaning behind my woodwork later this week😉💗
It’s Thursday!!!! I finally have the time to make larger pieces 🎉🎉🎉THE JOY!!!! Prepare to be sickuh me! Here’s the one I’ve been working on this week.
I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who celebrated with us via text, DM, and to those who came out to Summit Artspace! It meant so much to see all of the love and support 💗💗💗. It was a great time (at the actual event and during our own pregame decorating)!!! Love you we 5 years in but we just gettin started 💪🏾💗.

I am not a sketch artist my any means. As I’m sure y’all can tell from this sketch to final. But I go through seasons where I have pattern ideas pop in my head at random. Early on, I would tell myself I would remember what they were without sketching them. *insert 100s of forgotten ideas here*🙃. Now I keep sketch books everywhere! Anywho here’s a sketch I did a while ago and the final wood patterned wallhangings created from it.
Yaaaaaaallll I am currently at my first ever tent show!!! @eastavemarket did a First Friday takeover in Kenmore and I am one of their local vendors *insert joy*. If you’re free stop on by. We are here until 9pm.
It’s Thursday!!!! I’m still on the mend this week but here’s what I was working on prior to my little injury. I’ll be back on full swing next week and hopefully able to finish this piece with all my fingers in tact 😆.
It’s Thursday!!!! Let me start off by saying I’m fine. I couldn’t make my typical video because I was sitting in the ER🥴 so here’s this lil video instead. Also shout out to my nail tech @_ybnails_studio_ the saw nipped my nail and it stayed on and looks cute😆💗
I got the opportunity to put this piece in the Community Art Show at the GAR Foundation. Super grateful to meet and and to have my work included among other amazing local artists! Wanna check out the show? It will be open to view during normal business hours at the Andrew Jackson house in downtown Akron.
It’s Thursday!!! Remember the unfinished pieces from years ago that I pulled back out. Here’s the finished product! They will be up on the website next week. Interested in seeing them before then? Summit ArtSpace is having an opening for its summer exhibitors tomorrow evening. I’ll be in studio from 5-7pm. Feel free to stop by.
It’s Thursday!!! I don’t have the full play by play of me creating these new pieces because I started them a LOOOOONG time ago. When I was creating them I could not figure out how to finish the design. I try my best to avoid being frustrated in my creative space because it is my place of peace and joy, so I put them aside to finish later. Welcome to later! I’ll reveal them finished next week! Enjoy the sunshine ☀️ 💗
It’s Thursday!!! Y’all know I had to use the left over fabric from the chair. Here’s what I made.
It’s Thursday!!! Y’all my kids made me a theme song and I mean there just ain’t enough hearts💗💗💗. I’m finally finished with the chair watch to see the final touch! It will be posted to the website next Thursday along with some other new piece made from the left over fabric. See y’all next week.
