A little work in progress ✨
….and Luca at my feet keeping me company while I work 😂

Currently making pretty things and thinking about what I should paint next.

I’ve got some room for custom pieces this fall — signs, quotes, names, reverse gilded glass, etc. So if you’ve got an idea you’ve been sitting on, I’m all ears 🤍

Come along with me as I paint this stained glass–inspired wedding sign for the sweetest couple. 👰‍♀️🤵✨

This one definitely pushed me outside my comfort zone. I had a big vision in my head, but figuring out how to bring it to life was the real challenge. There were plenty of moments where I wasn’t sure it was going to work—but trusting the process paid off, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. 💛

Can anyone else relate?!?

23K Gold on Glass ✨

Every line is done by hand. Every decision is made in real time.
No machine can replicate the character, depth, and human touch of a hand-painted sign.
When you invest in traditional craftsmanship, you’re investing in artistry, years of experience, and someone who genuinely cares about the final result!
This craft is built through repetition, patience, troubleshooting, and years of mistakes becoming skill.
And you can see the difference. 👏🏻

turns out ‘balance’ isn’t really the goal…
it’s more like…doing both anyway…

Watching an idea go from screen to real life never gets old. ✨
This is Part 2 of turning a digital design into something tangible. Anyone else obsessed with seeing ideas come to life?

If this week has taught me anything, it’s that the “perfect time” doesn’t exist.
I’m the one in control of where my time goes and how I choose to use it.
Right now, I’m in the thick of three big transitions.
My oldest is growing up so FAST!�It feels like overnight he’s speaking in full sentences and asking to sit on the big boy potty.
My baby is no longer a sleepy little newborn—he’s rolling over, doing all the things…�hello four month sleep regression… while still breastfeeding and napping in short spurts.
And then there’s me…�somewhere in the middle, trying to figure out where I fit in all of this.
Routines are shifting.�Sleep is unpredictable.�And my time doesn’t fully feel like my own… yet.
But I can choose what I do with what I do have.
And I’m choosing to keep my creative soul alive and thriving!

Who can relate!?
