I love working with my hands and making things! I started crafting when I was a kid and realized that if I wanted something that either didn't exist or was too expensive, I could just make it myself, and it would be more special because it was handmade. The possibilities were endless.

I took a pottery class in high school and a jewelry making class in college. I spent a good chunk of my senior year of high school in the hospital with a rare condition, and I would weave friendship bracelets to pass the time. I recently got a kumihimo loom to braid bracelets on. A few years ago, I taught myself to sew by watching YouTube videos and almost immediately went out to by fabric to make a super ambitious Buizel plush with no plan or pattern. After that proejct, I just stuck to basic round plushies you can find on my Etsy shop. They're great stress buddies. I've also tried amigurumi crochet and making pipe cleaner animals.

I'll give any craft a fair shot, but my true passion is needle felting. Sometime after I graduated college, needle felting videos started popping up on my YouTube feed, and I started falling asleep to them (It's the only ASMR I've ever enjoyed). I decided to try it myself and bought a few kits online. Once I learned the technique and became comfortable needle felting on my own, the whole world of wool craft opened up for me. The possibilities were endless, just like when I was kid crafting things. I deep-dove into different types of wools and fibers, different tools, and different techniques, and I'm still growing my skills and trying new things.
