Hi! My name is Dee Ann and I’m a lifelong crafter.  Growing up on a farm in Colorado was a major influence in my life that provided grounding for my crafting and creative endeavors. Everything on a farm is homegrown and handmade. You learn to make do with what you have – to repair or re-purpose. Most people would be surprised to know farm families were the original DIYers.  And I guess I can say that’s why I learned to “make” everything.

When I’m not crafting I enjoy mountain road trips, hiking, theater, genealogy research, and creating memory books.  I collect books, plants, and primitives.   I live at the foot of Pikes Peak along with my husband and manager, a black cat named Sawyer Dickens Thoreau.
