Hey there, aspiring woodworker! Get your creativity flowing with these beginner projects that have helped me build my skills.

All my life I have always had a passion for art and design. I was always drawing, coloring, or creating something. After highschool I continued that passion into college and recieved a bachelors degree in art and design. As of now I have had art published in magazines, featured in stores for purchase, in art shows, created logos for businesses, and now designing art for print on demand products or digital downloads. I also design journal covers for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. Not to mention countless craft projects. This list has my favorite designed products, art I love that inspire me, and supplies to start designing on your own. It is never too late to follow your passion, just take that first step and go for it.

Every year, I look for Father's Day gifts and I see the same things: A wallet, useless golf stuff, alcoholic drink stuff, grilling stuff, and watches. It is always a struggle to find good suggestions for gifts for guys in general. I also have a brother who is happy with his cologne and doesn't need cups or tools. My love language is gift giving, so I take this very seriously and I look for gifts that won't get tossed to the side.

Buying art supplies can be overwhelming. My best advice: Start small and slowly build your collection over time! My mother has been an artist since before I was born, so I learned early on that high-quality supplies are really worth it in the long run. You use less paint and your brushes will last for years! That being said, never let a lack of the “right” supplies keep you from creating!

I am a creative person and I love to color and have fun while I'm at it, I also get bored easily so here is what keeps me entertained!

There's something about art and travel that just go together. My soul loves both and I always feel creatively inspired when I go to new places. And when I'm home and not traveling, it's things like painting, drawing, reading and writing that make me feel the same happiness I feel when I travel. So here is a list of my favorite art supplies, including my must-haves for when I want to do art while I travel plus two separate sections to help you easily find them on Michaels or Amazon.

I’ve been teaching myself to sew this summer, and along the way I’ve stumbled into some absolute gems on Etsy—those easy, breezy dress patterns that make you feel like maybe, just maybe, you’re getting the hang of this. This list is kind of a love letter to the ones that made me feel good. Patterns that didn’t overwhelm me. That felt fun. That came with a little “you’ve got this” energy when I needed it most. Some of them are trending like crazy (hello, TikTok rabbit holes), and others are just quiet favorites I keep coming back to. I’ll keep adding as I go. If you’re learning too, or just looking for that one pattern to spark your next project, I hope you find something here that makes you feel excited to sew again. 🌿

Sometimes the smallest gift can bring the biggest smile. Yet finding the right gift can be surprisingly challenging - especially if you want to choose something the recipient will genuinely use and enjoy. My approach to gifting is focused on practicality, offering items that will be appreciated rather than left to collect dust on a shelf. As someone who spends Christmas with elderly clients instead of my family, I have tried to bring together ideas that work well for both. These are meaningful little treasures chosen with comfort, usefulness and a touch of joy in mind.
