HI! I’M EMILY.

I love making things with my hands and always have a project (or ten) in the works.

I love to draw, paint, cook, sew, crochet, cross stitch, and make soap. This year, I’m focusing on using what we already have and finally getting around to those projects that have been on my to-do or to-try list forever.

You can read more about me here.

X+O, Emily
