Somthin’ ‘bout a Truck! These blue truck minis were so much fun! Thank you to all the families that came out for them, and of course for my awesome neighbor, Mike for letting us borrow his beautiful vintage Ford Truck!

Big love to my mama 😍 my rock, biggest supporter, and best friend. She keeps the shop (and me) grounded, gives out hugs, wisdom, and possibly unsolicited advice. 😅 She may share way too many of my childhood stories, but it warms my heart to have my inbox flooded with messages on how much she’s touched your lives too. 🥹🙏✨

Before motherhood, I saw the world through a box of 24 crayons. Now? It’s an infinite box of colors 🎨 vibrant, unpredictable, like the ones pulled from the depths of Ky’s pockets. 😂

No one prepared me for how much growing a heart outside my body would crack me open. To love this big. To be challenged this deeply. To relentlessly find all the strength inside myself to keep going. To surrender fully into the unknown.

I couldn’t do single motherhood without the powerful mamas by my side. From my own mother to the sisterhood I’ve found over the years, I’ve been held, lifted, and inspired by women who mother in all kinds of beautiful ways. Now I get to run a business alongside my son, my mama, and a radiant circle of mama makers.

Empowering mamas to live a creative life, whether through making products at the shop or joining our craft camps 🎨🏕️ is my heart’s work. 💛

Happy Mother’s Day to the mamas, mama figures, caretakers, and the OG mama 🌍 Mama Earth.

To all the women who nurture, uplift, and color the world with love, You’re pure magic. 🌈✨

Supporting women isn’t about a single day or trending moment- it’s about the daily work, the intimate connections, and the safe spaces we create for each other.

At Crafted, 54 of our local makers are female and host classes filled with mostly women—not because I sought them out, but because our energies aligned. Don’t get it twisted, we love our male makers too! Being a maker can feel isolating and marketing online can feel like screaming into the void. As a creator, I started this to encourage makers we’re in this together, to give them creative opportunities and permission to shine. When we gather with aligned values, our message amplifies.

I couldn’t do this without trusted friends who help me behind the scenes. We challenge what keeps us small, celebrate the tiniest wins, and call each other into our highest good—with love, authenticity, and a hell of a lotta laughs!

For a long time, I carried a deep sisterhood wound. I still face challenges for being a “strong woman,” but I’ve learned I’m just a mirror for insecurities, because I’ve been there too. It still hurts, but that’s ok. We’re not meant for everyone. Now, I choose to collaborate with those I deeply trust, not because they’re women, but because our larger vision for the world is more aligned than the superficial one we’re told to accept.

Cheers to the real ones who lift each other up, today and every day. Big big love to you all 🩷

Got to play in dreamy pastel land for my dear friend @esme_design’s baby shower. 💐🥹 Esme designs gorgeous hats so naturally had to make this goddess a flower hat crown to celebrate baby Aspen’s arrival! Each guest left with a sweet little bud vase of blooms in remembrance of this special day. Thank you @esme_design for trusting me with your flowery vision. I can’t wait for your little seed to blossom! 🌱💘

Check out our Rites of Passage floral design offerings at CraftedOutpost.com. We’d love to craft a beautiful and unique experience for your next special event. 💕
