About

Ah...natural light. (artificial light makes my head hurt)
Measure once cut twice? That doesn't sound right.....
And cut and sew and press and turn and press and cut.....

Travel light, draw often

I think with my hands. My life is full of notes, doodles, lists, sketches, and plans. Like my father-in-law who can't talk if you hold his hands still, my thought process grinds to a halt if I can't use my hands. All my best thinking begins and ends on paper. Paper is not much help though, if I can't find a pen. Much of the time, until I made the first journal bandolier, I could NOT find a pen.

    My mother, who was the only 60 year old woman in her small engine repair class, taught me to love to learn. She passed these clever hands down to me from my grandma who made more quilts than anyone could count and was as stubborn as she was short.

Shipping
I ship first class with USPS unless you request otherwise. I try to ship orders out within 2 to 4 business days (often orders go out even faster). Custom orders have a longer lead time, typically 7 to 10 days. I send a convo to the buyer when shipment has been made.

Please confirm that your shipping address is accurate to avoid delays.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT INTERNATIONAL ORDERS

Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility.

Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to purchase.

USPS international shipping is often prompt but can sometimes take a little longer due to customs delays in the destination country. According to the USPS International orders are not considered lost until 45 days has passed without delivery. If an order does not appear in that time frame I am happy to replace or refund the order. USPS tracking for international packages does not show information after the package has left the United States. This does not mean the package has been lost. To avoid delays and missed delivery please make sure your shipping address is as accurate as possible.
Refunds and Exchanges
If for any reason you aren't happy with your purchase please let me know. Making sure you have a positive experience is my number one priority.
