Let’s welcome autumn with a day of seasonal hand Let’s welcome autumn with a day of seasonal handcraft! In October I’m heading to Port Townsend, WA - a charming Victorian seaport town about two hours north of Seattle. Destination? The charming Bazaar Girls Yarn Shop & Fibre Emporium! Our afternoon project focuses on recreating fall and winter foliage from fabric. Learn to draft patterns from pressed leaves and then recreate wired and posable versions from linen cotton textiles. 🍂 Tie oak leaves to napkins on your Thanksgiving table, tuck fruiting holly under the ribbon of a wrapped gift, or hang a cluster of everlasting mistletoe in your doorway. This workshop will give you a running start at finishing these in time for holiday celebrations! ➡️ Follow the link in my bio to learn about both workshops at @bazaar_girls and plan a day of creative adventure on the Olympic Peninsula!

Three years ago my family traded in our metropolis Three years ago my family traded in our metropolis of millions for a little town of ten thousand in the heart of California Wine Country. Its laid back charm, welcoming community and gorgeous scenery have completely won us over. 😊 And now that we've settled in - I’d like to invite you to visit! NEXT September 2025 I’ll be hosting Well Crafted Sonoma, a creative retreat in my new home town. Workshops led by myself and amazing guest instructors, local outings, picturesque lodging and chef prepared meals - surrounded by rolling hills and sprawling vineyards. Want to learn more? Join the interest list and you'll receive event details and registration info as soon as they're available. Type “Sonoma” in the comments and I’ll DM you the link! #WellCraftedSonoma
What do a strawberry, a beachball and a reindeer h What do a strawberry, a beachball and a reindeer have in common? 🤔 Not much, unless they're all surprise balls! 🎊 Truthfully, this vintage party favor can be styled to look like anything! At it core, small treats and trinkets, jokes and candies are artfully concealed in hundreds of feet of crepe paper streamers and then decorated as elaborately or as simply as you like. Lucky recipients are showered with fun as they unroll their surprise balls, revealing the goodies you’ve selected, and creating a happy mess! It’s a gift and an activity all rolled into one. 📣 We're gathering in the classroom of Alameda's much loved @daisys_mercantile on Thursday evening, Sept. 26 for a Surprise Ball Workshop! Space is limited and we'd love to have you join us. Follow the link in my bio for all the details!
Ready for a brilliant Bay Area adventure? THIS IS Ready for a brilliant Bay Area adventure? THIS IS IT! You’re invited to join me on Saturday, September 21 for a special session of my Japanese Paper & Fabric Marbling Workshop. That alone would be a good time, but it gets better! We’ll gather at @bacchusland in beautiful Healdsburg to create while enjoying local wines and delicious bites from the talented chefs of team @chefcharliepalmer. (I mean…pinch me!) It’s the perfect anchor activity for a weekend in wine country. ✨🍷✨ This little bit of wonderful is brought to you by the fine folks of Crafted at @appellationhotels and we can’t wait to see you there. Complete info and registration can be found by following the link in my bio.
It’s alive! I’ve Frankensteined my original qu It’s alive! I’ve Frankensteined my original quintet of Anatomical Embroidery Samplers into a sextet - printed on a single panel of fabric. The latest addition is a beautifully macabre medical illustration of a foot collaged with blooming belladonna (a.k.a. deadly nightshade.) I’m thinking the new set could be made into a garland just unsettling enough for Halloween season, but refined enough to perhaps be displayed year round. Can’t wait to get started on mine! 💀👂🏽🩻✋🫀🦶 The new format boasts a redesigned background with all six individual 12" x 12" samplers printed on a 36" x 24" piece of linen cotton canvas fabric. Two sets of printed guidelines are provided: heavier dashed cut lines to neatly separate the individual samplers and lighter dashed guidelines to hem the edges, should you so choose.
