Just listed my new box. I love this one. Actually I’ve loved all of these recent boxes and the process of making them. I feel a little tug at my heart each time I package one up and ship it off.

I find a sunny spot on the floor and an old wooden box. I start pulling out my favorite old bottles, rusty and paint peeling old metal things, keys, book pages, photos, knobs, strings, thread, paint, and tiny treasures of all sorts, broken pieces. Then I put them in, move them around, and take them [...]

I love the look of little terrariums in old jars and bottles but I’ve not owned or made one before. Since I have lots of vintage bottles and the art box I’ve been working on seemed to be going nowhere and the kids went to lunch with grandma, I thought I would give it a [...]

In the past several years I’ve been part of a really fun tradition.

I am always honored when someone includes something I’ve made in their etsy treasury. So I wanted to share a few that feature some of my new things.

With the thrill of potential chill in the air I have started crocheting things. And making robot party stuff. And art assemblage boxes. I could spend hours with an old empty box… putting tiny treasures in and taking them out. Lining things up, taking them apart, painting, stacking, building with keys, photos, bottles, and old [...]

Yes. I am awake at 4 am. I have been awake for over an hour. I can’t believe Noah is 5 years old today. 5 is officially a big boy…no more baby or toddler or preschooler. At 5 years old he plays flag football, masters video games and operates a computer like a pro, adores [...]

The park was super hot today but Noah was bouncing off the walls so we walked there anyway. I stay home with the kids and I oversee most every interaction Noah and Chloe have with other kids. These days they can play independently and so when we go to the park I try to keep [...]
