When I moved my craft studio outside of my home 5

When I moved my craft studio outside of my home 5 years ago, I felt like a true badass business woman who had somehow created a career designing crafts for kids. I could pay rent, I had my own WiFi, I even had insurance—dayum! And over these years, 2 of them being covid, I have crafted countless posts and laughed at many craft-astrophies.

Last week I moved my studio back into my home (a new home) and after journeying through all the feelings of sadness, nostalgia, and even a twinge of failure, I have landed at a place of joy and relief to have every last material at my fingertips at all times.

Five years ago my kids were 5 and 7 and it was hard for them to understand that while it looks like Mommy is having a good time crafting, it was work and I needed to crank. Now, at 10 and 11, I can’t wait for them to come up to the Perch (that’s the working title of the home-based studio) and play with me. And for the weekends to include random gadget-making and bracelet beading. Bring. It. On.

Here are some of my fave pics of my @industrycity studio, where I always had ample room to store each bottle cap, Pom-Pom, and fabric scrap that crossed my path. @ikea supplied me with the most versatile furniture and fixtures to make that space functional and inspiring, and once I have the Perch all set, I’ll share with you how I’ve made it work in a new space.

Check out my stories for a series I call “The Leftunders”…once the studio was empty these were the droppings that were found under the furniture. It’s sort of like looking at your apartment after an amazing party…a glorious mess that proves a good time was had by all!

It only took me 7 years to recreate this #fathersdaygift (swipe for original)! The kids had fun recreating poses and giggling at the tiny selves. I loved the new thoughts that made the board this time like “He cares about my beliefs” and “he believes in me.” Certainly a 7-year maturation from “He helps me put on my pajamas.” #happyfathersday to all who celebrate!

Another school year down. If it were up to us, we'd be gifting our teachers an all-expense paid trip to Paris or Greece or Bali, but that's a smidge out of our price range. So instead we are going for a little humor.

These DIY notebook covers are so easy and they will prove to your teachers that you pay as much attention to them as they pay to your students! One of Sommer's 4th grade math teachers loves chocolate chip cookies so we went with a cookie cookbook as one book title. I think it's really fun to brainstorm book titles with the kids...it will challenge them to really think about these valiant people that have stood in front of their classroom all year!

Happy summer to all the teachers reading this! Relax and rejuvenate!

🎓 Graduation season is here! Whether you are leaving high school in the dust or moving up from kindergarten, everyone deserves a little #DIY accessory. This graduation hat is made from a cut-off party hat and cardboard. We created patterns on the top using letter stamps.

Hats off to you, graduates! 👩‍🎓 👨🏾‍🎓

A newly-minted 10-year-old’s dream—9 of her besties for a visit to the NYC @colorfactoryco ! Before the day, each kid picked her color, and they paraded through Soho as a walking rainbow. We topped each ensemble off with a matching accessory like headbands and mesh gloves. With surprises in each room, all culminating in a magical ball-pit, so much fun was had! 🌈🌈🌈

It's been a really nutty time, these last few months, and I've probably posted less on this platform than I have in my entire tenure on Instagram. Our world feels so brutally tender in so many ways, and I guess I'm feeling that tenderness in all of my nerve endings, too. By the 7 o'clock hour when I usually hit the SHARE button, I am now cleaning the kitchen, hugging my dog, contemplating a drink (or finishing one), and counting down the minutes until I can get under my covers to watch #SomebodySomewhere.

But...I have actually been working on something that feels SUPER exciting and, not to oversell it, but I think it's basically the THING that I am meant to do...THE project that all of these crafts, ideas, musings on creativity and motherhood have been in service of for all these years. Big declaration I know, and so sad that I just can't yet tell you what it is. But, I am so excited about it and will share when it's on more solid ground.

In the meantime, I am still crafting and searching for materials in the strangest of places, as evidenced by these Planter People that I made for @highlightsforchildren.

It's kind of like the equivalent of one of those soups that use all the ingredients you have on hand, but in craft form—everything but the kitchen sink! Just start with soup cans and some duct tape and see where these friendly faces take you!

Of all the projects I've made in my career, I thin

A stop at a yard sale or a thrift store will always yield at least one new craft project. This time, I saved these mismatched plates to make cute 🐇 🦊 🦉 animal silhouette 🦌 🧸 plates (that appeared in the most recent issue of @revealmag). You can easily create a stencil by downloading silhouette shapes online. Click this pic in my bio link to get the how-to! (photo by @peterardito, styling by @carlaghart)

I felt a huge hole in my 💘February last year when I didn't get to make #valentines with my kids to pass out at school! Virtual valentines 💌 for remote school just didn't feel as festive. ⁠
