It started with paper.
Things escalated.
Because ordinary is overrated — and apparently, I have absolutely no intention of sticking to just one craft.
Cards became notebooks. Notebooks needed charms. Charms led to beads. Beads are apparently a whole situation.
This led to key chains, bag charms and bracelets…
Handmade, coffee-powered and held together with creativity, questionable craft purchases and a little glitter.
The Latest Creative Chaos
A little paper, a few beads and plenty of creative detours — see what’s been happening in the craft room lately.
What Happens in the Studio?
Cards, notebooks, beads and a steady stream of “I wonder what would happen if…” — here’s a little peek at what I make, create and occasionally obsess over.
Welcome to Bead Dynasty
Money. Power. Pony Beads.
What started with a few innocent beads has somehow become a full-blown craft room soap opera involving questionable purchases, bracelet drama, mysterious supplies and at least one green bead nobody asked for.
Follow along with the latest episodes of Bead Dynasty — where we make pretty things, spend entirely too much time discussing beads, and prove that crafting really doesn’t need to be taken quite so seriously.
From My Studio to Your Cart
Some of the creative chaos actually makes it out of the craft room and into the shop.
Cards, notebooks, bracelets, keychain danglers and other handmade goodies — all waiting for their next home.
Apparently I Have Spare Time…
When I’m not chasing runaway beads, drinking coffee or leaving a light dusting of glitter everywhere, I also create card designs for the Polkadoodles Design Team.
Here’s a peek at some of the crafty chaos I’ve created for them.

Cute Critters Welcome. Rent Optional.
There seems to be a growing population of tiny creatures living in my craft room. Thankfully, they’re adorable, require very little feeding and look fabulous on handmade cards.
Apparently we have to eat…
Somewhere between paper, beads and coffee, someone always asks what’s for dinner? So we have made room for tried and true recipes, family favorites and whatever else wanders out of my kitchen. Good food, easy recipes and probably a little creative chaos along the way… Food, eh?
From the Craft Room to the Kitchen.
Meet Ursula, my first attempt at creating a beaded Halloween spider! Armed with aluminum wire, sparkling beads, and absolutely no spider-making experience, I decided to see what would happen. Somewhere between eight legs and a surprising discovery about spider knees, Ursula came to life. Grab a coffee and join the adventure!
