I was born and raised in the Midwest near Rochester, Minnesota, but I’ve always felt a pull towards the Rocky Mountains. In November 2023 I finally made the move to Estes Park and feel blessed every time I wake up and see the mountains out my window.

I started crocheting when I was in high school, but it wasn’t easy as I’m left handed and all crochet tutorials I could find at the time were shown right handed. Even so I kept trying and practicing stitches for hours until I made my very first scarf which I still have to this day! Since then I’ve been crocheting for nine years, and what I love most about my craft is that not only does it result in a cute or beautiful piece you can touch and hold, but when my relatives eyes light up each time I gift them a handmade item.

Currently I only sell physical items at the Homestead Fine Art Gallery, but you can find my digital patterns on my Etsy shop and reach out to me if you have questions or concerns about my products.
