I hand make and design original, one of a kind bags, accessories, fabric art and so much more! Messenger bags, beach bags, sand toy bags, pencil cases, purses, make up bags, coin purses, and car seat tags are just a few of the things I make regularly, plus I love to try out new patterns, design, and fabrics. I no longer am able to take on custom orders. If you have a specific request, you can ask and if at all possible I will try to take it on.

Recently, I have been learning how to watercolor. I’ve never been good at sketching or drawing, but I have been enjoying the process of watercolor because it is more forgiving. The more into I get the more I practice, the more I realize that I am going to need to work on my sketching/drawing skills to make what I want to appear on the paper. My upcoming birthday trip to Costa Rica has me inspired to practice more, so I can bring my paints and attempt to nature journal my way through the rainforests, mountains and beaches. I found this toucan picture on the site of the main Airbnb destination we will be heading for and spent the last two evenings trying to bring it to life on paper. I recently discovered from a bird book I’m reading and immediately purchased his book. I think his ideas have helped me not be overwhelmed with starting my sketches and gives great ideas on how to break things down into simple sections. This is my first attempt at a bird. Im tempted to try it again in more abstract styles and less detail, but Im pleasantly surprised with how it came out. John Muir Laws has tons of free resources on line, but the book is a thing of beauty and I highly recommend it.

I celebrated Cinco de Mayo over the weekend starting at the Boardroom where they were having both a Cinco de Mayo and a Kentucky Derby celebration complete with a fasinator contest, so of course, I had to throw something completely insane together a day before. A trip to the Dollar Tree, a whole lot of glue, and some herbal infused creativity later and you have what might be the first Mexinucky fasinator ever! Of course, I won. It was very anticlimactic, but I love a good creative challenge. I had to continue the party on to ESBC because this hat needed to make more people smile, which it did! Not sure what in the world I’ll do with this thing now, but I may need to buy a plastic head to display it in my room just a little bit longer because it makes me happy! Viva la Mexinucky!!

I decided to pick one of the pictures I took at Disneyland of artistic/inspiring pieces I found throughout the park and tried to replicate it with watercolor. This Tiki, Hina Kuluua, Goddess of Rain from outside the Tiki Room, was the perfect choice for a rainy day painting project. I think im going to continue to hunt through the parks for inspiration and pick at least one image to paint from each visit. I’m really happy with how it came out. Watercolor is so fun! 🌈 🌧️ 🎨

Ladies and gentleman, I present to you the hardware mandala. I’ve had this idea in my head to make a mandala using resin and spare hardware laying around the shop for awhile and Christmas was my opportunity. I was so worried I wouldn’t know what to put where or be overwhelmed by all the choices I had available, but it ended up being very meditative and came together easily. It took a few pours and layers of hardware, but I’m pleased with how it came out. I even had a little extra resin left over for some coasters, but I only took a picture of one. I miss playing with resin. Looking forward to my next project ideas 😁

Just thought I’d share some of the things I made over the holidays. Decided to follow some tutorials@on watercoloring and went a tad bit crazy! A lot of trees, a snowman, Disneyland, a truck, a yellow bellied marmot named Franthis, and a house for a housewarming gift. I’m hooked!!
