Summer ‘24 ☀️ Turned 40 and have never felt better or more loved. 4th Annual Aunt-Nan Camping Trip. Celebrated 10 years(!) with Nick. Family, family, family. Selfies & secret handshakes with my BFF.
Looking for a ceramics studio in Close-In NE Portland? The clay room at Holladay Studios has room for one more resident artist! The space is 400sq ft shared with another artist (You’d have your own dedicated space plus access to all shared shel
A love letter for Bert. Today would have been her 3 year adoption anniversary and I’m missing her so much it hurts. The sun really rose and set with her. (Which is why my camera roll is 90% selfies of us.) You couldn’t look at her and not
💔 Bertie was a perfect dog. I mean… she was such a little nut, but god, she really was perfect. We are devastated to share that last month her little heart finally reached its limit. She called the shots till the very end though-going out o
Some moments I loved from a very weird year. Wishing you all a peaceful and abundant 2024. ✌️
✨The holiday update is live in the wool bag shop.✨ I’ll ship all orders the same or next day. For ground shipping, orders placed by Friday the 15th should reach you by the 25th. (After that I’d make sure and upgrade to priority, and if y
Hello! 👋 Thank you so much to everyone who has inquired about an update in the wool bag shop. YES! A holiday batch is coming…. just not this week. ✨ Every year the Black Friday energy feels more and more unhinged (So many sales! So many &ldq
✨Life Update Alert✨ I was the photo stylist for a very cool (pun intended) book about cocktail ice that came out this week! Oh, did I mention I’ve been prop and beverage styling for the past year and a half? I’ve shared a few snippets of
Chasing the good light/ shooting photos this weekend for a spring update in the wool bag shop. The refresh goes live Monday at noon (pacific). I did a MAJOR clean out of my wool inventory last month and realized it was time to start using up all t
Two years with Bertie- who is now officially (probably?) a teenager. 🥹🎂 I love her so much it hurts. Thank you @silver.linings.rescue.ranch for saving her and for knowing we were meant to be together. She’s everything.💙 #adoptseniordogs

The Cyber Monday update is live! I just posted a big restock of salvaged wool bags in a full spectrum of sizes and prints. There are some incredible new-to-me patterns (hello 🏁!) and some old favorites that I hadn’t seen in a long while. You c
There is a BIG update of wool bags going live in the shop this Monday, BUT FIRST I just added some really special leather totes to the limited editions shop. ✨ These leather collage totes are my favorite to make because they allow me to use all the p
Summer 22. 🌼 It was 10x less camping than usual and 10x more visits to the emergency vet (You’re worth it Bertie! We love you too much!), but we still managed to check all the important boxes. Time outside, time with friends, time with family
With nan-made’s 10th birthday just around the corner (10?! 😳) I’ve been thinking a lot about what I’d like the next decade (🤞) of my business to look like. Even with a product line that is structured around salvaging and repurposi
I shared this piece over on @waterworks_drygoods and in stories a few weeks ago, but I love it too much to not put it on the nan-made grid. I’ve been quilting non-stop the past month and I can’t wait to show you some more finished pieces
I’ve fallen into a quilting rabbit hole this week, and honestly I hope I stay here all summer. ☀️🐰🕳
So excited to be sending out a restock to @tacomaartmuseum today! (And a little refresh just hit the nan-made online shop, too. 😉)
One year with Bertie. 🎂 I’ll shout from the rooftops for eternity that if you are looking for a very best friend, senior dog adoption is the way to go. (Well, she’s MY best friend. Her best friend is an old laundry basket and I just hav
I did my best to just slide right through winter. ❄️ Things were mostly quiet, but bright spots were visits with family, sunny day beach trips, sewing (for fun!), sewing (for work), and of course spending most of my time with Bertie. I updated the
