  • 3-tier plant hanger.

    3-tier plant hanger.

    Sharing my largest plant hanger creation so far – it’s as tall as me. 🙂 This was a fun project because I just…made! At first, I intended for this project to end up a macra-weave piece, but then it morphed into a macrame plant hanger. No regrets! I used classic…

    On a recent Benicia excursion I stumbled upon Daughter of Luna Floral Design. I was in the market for a few mini floral bouquets so I popped in. The space is light-filled with beautiful plants, colorful gifts, and a flower bar. One of everything please! The staff was so wonderfully…

    a craftera-tour!

    2024 was the year of the Crafterateur relaunch with a branding glow up. I started recognizing myself more as an artist, taking time to experiment with my own macrame designs and giving myself permission to explore my other creative interests, like regular clay and jewelry making! And, because I missed…

    slangin’ crowns.

    I tripled my craft show participation this year from one show last year to three shows this year. Ha! I will admit, as soon as I sign up for a show now I totally regret it because of all the prep I envision, but I’ve drastically reduced my SKUs and…

    baskets and bees.

    The last in-person crafty workshop I attended was held at Royal Bee Yarn in Pacifica. The shop is filled with yarn (of course), craft kits, and gifts. They also had bee-utiful spice wall. And as if a yarn store and a creative workshop weren’t enough, there was also a neighborhood…

    sample sale.

    Jenny Lemons had a sample, seconds, and vintage super sale earlier this month. I snagged tickets to the VIP shopping hour for a less crowded shopping experience and first pick at all the goodies! There were lots of Jenny Lemons clothing for sale, plus other local designer goods like Nettle…

    folsom is hot.

    Hubby’s Tennis Team went to District Championships this year (again, yay!). Their schedule was a lot better than last year’s schedule which meant there was time for a farmers market trip in Historic Folsom. The market is held every Saturday 8-1PM, and there’s a parking structure for easy and ample…
