2 months off work has been quite the experience. Ready to get back into the real world eventually.

This is one of the main driving forces for using discarded textiles in my blankets. It is devastating how many pounds of waste ends up in the desert.

60,000 tons of used clothes decorate the Atacama Desert in Chile, becoming the backyard scenery in the north part of the country. Mountains and mountains

Wrapped in thought... and yarn. Handcrafted blankets made with love, care, and a dash of sustainability. Because coziness and consciousness go hand in hand.

Single-use t-shirts are my arch nemesis. While they provide great raw material for my projects, the staggering impact of disposable fast fashion cannot be ignored. After just a few wears, these shirts often end up in donation bins, unsold at thrift stores, and eventually exported to countries like Ghana, where they become someone else’s problem. It’s time to rethink our relationship with clothes and stop the mindless consumption of fast fashion. The future of our planet depends on it.

I’ve just completed another weighted blanket, but I’ve decided to take a temporary break from creating new ones. My recent brain surgery and feelings of being stuck in a rut have slowed me down. While I’m passionate about rescuing and repurposing textiles, I’m also mindful of my limitations. To reignite my spark, I’m shifting focus to mending and repairing existing items. In the meantime, be sure to check out the remaining blankets in my Etsy shop!

Hello world! On the other side of my cavernoma brain surgery, and just wanted to go back to by happy place for a moment. Vending with the was a blast this summer and I hope to do so again this year. (After recovering of course)! Thank you all for the love and support. This year I hope to continue focusing on upcycling, being a mindful consumer and of course reducing more textile waste! 💚🍃♻️

Why on earth does every single small event have to be memorized on a tshirt? This is just a tiny fraction of the tshirts I’ve found over the last few weeks while thrifting. While all of these will get a new life as a weighted blanket, I know there are many others that will end up in a landfill, ocean, or worse. But I’m on a mission to give them new life! Who’s with me? Share your own creative reuse projects and let’s inspire a more sustainable future!

2024.. you were a heck of a year and ended with quite the surprise. The week before Christmas, my dear Landon called 911 after catching me having a seizure. After spending a few days in neurology ICU, an MRI confirmed I have a cavernous malformation or cavernoma. Basically a way of saying I have a brain bleed. Next week, I’m going in to have brain surgery. To say I’m terrified is putting it lightly. But working in medical for so many years has really helped me put in trust in my amazing team at . Always gonna take whatever life throws me, especially with my sweet sweet by my side. 💖 🧠
