Home decor is the main reason I started making a lot of the things I make. It took me years to grow into my own decorating style but once I did, I wasn't satisfied with having a home that could have come from an Ikea showroom. I wanted to surround myself with things that were not only beautiful, but also had a story and a character of their own and reflected what I liked, not what an art director of a major corporation decided I should like. I make wall decor like one-of-a-kind prints and handwoven wall hangings but I am also focusing a lot on making items that serve a function in addition to being decorative, such as handwoven pillows and storage baskets. It's my way of paying tribute to the movement towards minimalism while retaining personal expression.

Once I started making my own home decor, it was only a matter of time before I expanded to sprucing up my personal style. As always, it started as a matter of need when I found commercially available reusable totes wanting - the handles weren't right, the size was too small, or the material didn't feel nice. And how do you wash those things, anyway? I now have a small herd of simple and practical market totes made from recycled fabric and am adding handwoven elements to the next batch I'm working on. Lost of other projects are in the queue and I can't wait to share these with you. Stay tuned!
