Hi my name is Cindy and if you are here, you probably already know that I am a little bit of a trashoholic.

I live with my best friend and partner, an amazing man who patiently inquires about whether or not an empty milk carton, cereal box, or tin can should go in the recycle bin, or if I am considering adding it to my craft supplies. He calmly lives among my projects as they often blossom far beyond my craft room and invade every corner of our house. We have four oops make that six furry friends in our modest and comfy home in Colorado. It is the state where I grew up, which is more rare than common. And if you have ever been here then you know why folks want to live in this state.

I have hiked a few of the 14er’s in this beautiful state but my new routine tends to be on more level ground with one or two of our four dogs.

I am a terrible gardener but I still dream of having a big garden someday. I am not a very good housekeeper either which means that there is always pet hair somewhere. It is the price we pay for having six pets and a dreadfully abused vacuum cleaner.

I enjoy reading but I still watch too much TV. I try to keep my hands busy while in front of the television it helps relieve some of the guilt. And many of my projects have been constructed at least in part from the comfort of our couch.

I also have an EBay store where I sell second hand clothing and some of my upcycled creations.

I hope you enjoy your visit to my little creative space. If you find some inspiration I would love to here about it in the comments. They really do make my day.

I truly believe that making things is in all of our DNA and that the creative process is both therapeutic and confidence building.

So I hope you will give yourself the gift of time to dabble in your own creative process what ever that is and if you are inspired to incorporate some recycled materials well that’s all the better.

Happy Crafting, Creating, Upcycling,

Cindy
