Welcome to my world! I’m glad you’re here. With the etsy app on my phone, I'm usually close by to help.

Everything you see here I make, one at a time. I... Can't. Stop. Making things! I'm a little nuts about it, actually. This is a lifelong issue that started with my grandma teaching me how to crochet when I was 7 or 8. Which lead to knitting and then to sewing and so much more.

I’m going to create things no matter what. And I’m currently in the process of learning how to connect my things to the people who will really appreciate them (marketing).

I work in whatever medium is intriguing me at the moment. And I like to really dig into a project. For as long as the process fascinates me. For as long as I'm enjoying it and learning something. After that, I say no to boredom and stale ideas! That's how I end up with this wacky and fun assortment of treasures.

There'll be more. Always more. Including some surprises for you. And me, too!

Through my item descriptions, I get you some backstory on each piece. I try to explain the why of it, and sometimes also the how.

MY PROCESS. I have piles of fabric, stacks of patterns and paints, and tools stuffed into every corner. All in big heaps in small spaces. I have a friend who likes to picture me sitting at the sewing machine whipping up worlds of whimsy. Hold on to that image because that is the reality—it’s just hard to take a photo of it because of there are so many ideas laying around everywhere.

QUALITY. I do my very very best, always. I’m proud of my work which is good. The downside is that I nit pick and grab my seam ripper (and other tools of destruction and undoing) far more often than might be strictly necessary. What can I say? Tightly done construction is part of my look and style.

MINIMAL WASTE. That’s my mindset. I love working with beautiful new fabrics. I also love to upcycle and repurpose. To score great finds at garage sales and thrift stores. To use up every last scrap of fabric. Take apart old jewelry and repurpose beads. Cut up old books for collages, etc.

MINIMAL PACKAGING. Sometimes I sew studio labels into my pieces, other times I attach a tiny paper tag with my logo. Unless noted otherwise in the description, your order will come wrapped in tissue and shipped in a padded mailer.

PHOTOGRAPHY PRACTICE. My apologies, I still struggle in this area. Photography is an art all in itself and I am working on it. Please message me if you have any questions about any colors or textures or whatever it is that I’ve not made clear.

After you buy, I’D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU. Please consider coming back to post a positive review. I know your time is valuable which is why I appreciate it so much.

AND, if for any reason you wouldn't feel comfortable leaving a five star review, I hope you will message me and give me the opportunity to make things right (I’m the boss so I can do that). Plus, when you share how you feel, you help me grow as an artist.

Island inspired art and gifts hand made in Hawaii.

THANK YOU!
