While I had a veeeerry limited travel schedule thi While I had a veeeerry limited travel schedule this summer, I did spend a lot of time stitching on vintage souvenir postcards highlighting destinations across the country. ✈️📬🪡 Embroidering on paper is a surprisingly different adventure when compared to taking needle and floss to fabric - and I’m totally on board! I’ve collected a charming set of postcards, digitally restored them and printed them just for you. They’re packed alongside a swell set of materials and tools for my upcoming October 5th workshop at @monstermonstershop in Seattle. 🎉 And if you prefer stitching on fabric, I’ve got you covered! On October 4th I’ll be leading a new session of my Embroidering on the Photographic Image Workshop - complete with a brand new sampler of classic vintage photographs. This will be my final workshop weekend at Monster and we’d love to have you join in the fun! Follow the link in my bio for all the details and registration info. ❤️
If you’re a crafter, talking about winter holida If you’re a crafter, talking about winter holiday projects in July isn’t out the ordinary - because we know beautifully crafted goods take time. At least this is the logic I’m using to justify sharing this sweet reindeer surprise ball with you in September! 😆 If you’d like to get a head start on some seasonal cheer - consider joining me in the classroom at @daisys_mercantile in Alameda, CA on Thursday evening, September 26. This vintage party favor can be dressed for any occasion - imagine the egg shape of Rudolph’s head reimagined as a grinning witch or an even a roast turkey with drumsticks! Let’s brainstorm the possibilities and craft them into reality. There’s a link in my bio with all of the workshop info! ✨🎊✨
Join me at @bacchusland in beautiful Healdsburg, C Join me at @bacchusland in beautiful Healdsburg, CA on Saturday, September 21 for a special session of my Japanese Paper & Fabric Marbling Workshop! It’s an event brought to you by the fine folks of Crafted at @appellationhotels and includes local wines and delicious bites from the talented chefs of team @chefcharliepalmer. It’s a wonderful way to start your weekend in wine country! ✨🍷✨
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!
Well, hello September! Let’s get creative with a Well, hello September! Let’s get creative with a hands-on workshop. I’m launching fall programming this month with events in Kansas City and the San Francisco Bay Area (Alameda and Healdsburg).

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
