Three upcycling tips when working with used dimensional lumber (like 2x4s originally bought at a box store).

Happy building!

Excited to announce that I got picked for the Greenway Artisan Market () for the 2026 season (May-Oct)! The market is every Saturday and Sunday 11am-5pm and I can sign up for the dates I want.

Here are my current dates and more will follow:
- Sat. 5/30 - 2 DAYS!
- Sun. 6/14
- Sun. 7/12

The Greenway Artisan Market is a vibrant open-air market featuring talented area artists, makers, stylists and independent designers on the Boston Waterfront. Come take a stroll down the beautiful Rose Kennedy Greenway (steps from Faneuil Hall-see map) and explore what over 50 vendors have in store for you.

One of many reasons to visit me is you will be able to customize the colors of cute metal flowers onsite!

Thank you to the Greenway Artisan Market for choosing me. It has been a lot of work to get ready for it (including getting a proper canopy tent) and I just can’t wait to talk to folks about my artistic, one-of-a-kind home decor and upcycling!

A woman emailed me asking if my pallet wood cellphone holder could be mounted on a wall. I said no but I could modify the design for you. This was the result!

And now this same mounted cellphone holder design is available on my website!

BIG COSTUME BIG PROBLEMS

In the midst of making a custom costume for a drag performer that needs to be put on quick mid-routine. To do this, I took inspiration from a catcher’s mask and used heavy duty elastics. The elastics also make the head sturdy heavy for the moving jaw so the performer can lip synch!

Since I’m making it for someone else, I made the head completely adjustable as everything is held together by screws and nuts. Thus I can ensure the head fits comfortably and works for the performer.

Stay tuned for the finished costume in mid May! No spoilers in the meantime :)
