What makes you happy?

For me, it’s creating something with my own two hands.
It’s turning a pile of lumber into a finished piece. It’s the smell of fresh-cut cedar, the sound of tools in the shop, and watching an idea come to life one step at a time.

Carpentry has taught me patience, confidence, and the joy of making something that didn’t exist before. Whether I’m building custom furniture, teaching classes, or helping someone discover they CAN use power tools for the first time, this is where I feel most at home.

In a world thats moving fast and furiously, making something real feels different.

What makes you happy? Let’s create it together 💕👇

Unions have always been near and dear to my heart. My dad was a teacher for 35 years. My partner is a proud member of IBEW (International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers), and I have worked with members of IASTE (Stagehand & Theatrical Workers Union) all over the country. I could not be more grateful and proud of the power in the collective.

Billionaires are common place any more. We’re sneaking into talk of “trillions” every single day- talk about a truly fake amount of money, and a horribly real amount of power. We - the workers - need to remember the power WE hold. Together.

They don’t us the bare minimum to live. They pay us the bare minimum to sit down and shut up. To not riot. To not burn it all down.

Well. Times sure are a changin’. They have must.

POV: You told the customer you’d be there at 8:00am to start demo… but you have cats. 😅🙃🫠

I love my little demons. They just make bad assistants! Can’t get a coffee order right, can’t hand me the wrench I need, they NEVER take their breaks at a convenient time…

I guess good help really is hard to find these days. 🤷‍♀️

Well friends- March was here then gone. The barn is getting some surprise but much needed TLC, bringing on a new challenge.

New challenges, new ideas, new opportunities - it’s all new, isn’t it? And I’m trying to let the newness guide me- there’s excitement, there’s fear, there’s uncertainty and theres so much more to come.

So! Here we GROW! Haha- let’s get into April and see what she holds.

I’m always grateful for this community and this support. It’s all new and exciting and scary and wonderful. And I’m so grateful to be here with you. 💕

Well… the plaster finally said enough. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I wasn’t trying to re-do my ceiling this month but the house wants what she wants! Built in the 1890s, she’s a beauty who has been through a lot over the years. I guess there’s no better time than the present!!!

Follow along for the journey! Full disclosure- I have no idea what I’m doing. 🤣🫠 It’s gonna be great!!

I will never get sick of pairing this song with this class 😍

What an AHMAZING 2nd Sunday Builders this past week!! Everyone was so patient and kind and kicked BUTT with the jigsaw!!! Their benches were a huge hit, big and small, they all turned out incredibly.

These classes aren’t just about building, but they are about creating - we are creating a second life for some beautiful material, we’re creating confidence and joy in working with tools and our hands, and we’re creating community. This incredibly talented, compassionate, artistic community coming together from all different backgrounds is something I am so grateful for. 💕

Join us next month for our next adventure!! We can’t wait to do it together!
