My goal is to inspire people to try new things. I’ve been craft-failing forward for years, and I believe that failure isn’t the opposite of success. It is part of it.

Hi! I'm Jenn.
I’m a multi-disciplinary maker who loves to learn new ways of making things — taking classes, watching videos, and trying stuff out on my own. Knitting, spinning yarn, sewing clothing, and leather-working are some of the disciplines I work in. Many of my projects use all sorts of reclaimed and recycled items.

Going to have grease under my fingernails for weeks. I saw a cool vintage range hood on Craigslist— drove a ways to check it out. When the seller realized it wasn’t working well, she offered it to us for free just to get it off her hands. Challenge accepted.
If you’re crafty or know someone who is, you can go to my website (link in bio) to download the files to make your own “Ask me about vasectomy” t-shirt.
It’s like a whole new kitchen! Aaron and I spent the weekend covering the kitchen cabinets and drawers with @oracal651vinyl from @pacificcoastsignsupply and installing handles sourced from the @habitatportlandregion Restore.
It’s throwback craft time! Bottle cutting is more error prone than I expected it to be. @geekinthecity and I started out with two cases of empty bottles — and came out with 8 drinking glasses.
