There is no better spot on earth than right between these two. 🌅 God gave me the good ones. Spring Break '26, Cancun — thankful!

Sean's hair had opinions about the Cancun breeze. Mine, however, was flawless. We don't make the rules. 🌴

Faith is often built through small, repeated things.

A prayer whispered in the morning.
A cross on the wall.
A reminder that God walks with us through ordinary days.

The most meaningful objects are often the ones that quietly stay.

03/20/2026

Certain objects quietly follow us through life.

A cross on the wall.
A well-worn Bible.
An ornament unpacked each December.

They become part of the rhythm of a home.
Over time they stop being things.

They become witnesses to the life lived around them.

Most days in the studio are pretty ordinary.
But the stories these pieces will hold someday are not.

The work I make today didn’t start with my business.

It started much earlier — with my grandparents.

Herb and Dot lived simple, faithful lives, and they shaped the way I think about the objects we keep.

Not as decorations.

But as quiet witnesses to a life’s story.

You’ll start seeing a new name appear in my work.

Meet Herb + Dot.

Sometimes lent doesn't show us something new.

Sometimes it simply reminds us of what has been true all along.

03/14/2026

One thing I’m learning this Lent:

Not every season of faith needs to feel dramatic.

Sometimes faithfulness looks like:

• showing up
• saying a small prayer
• going for a walk
• starting again tomorrow

The quiet seasons count too.

Some gifts are opened and forgotten.
Others quietly become part of someone's life.

When choosing a sacrament gift, I always look for something that will be used, displayed or remembered for years.

Here are a few ideas that Mark the moment in a meaningful way

I beleive that objects matter.

Not because they’re decorative or expensive, but because certain objects stay with us long after the moment they first marked.

A cross on the wall.
An ornament unpacked every December.
Something small that quietly carries a story.

This little flame has been slowly taking shape in the studio over the past few months.

More to come soon.

Some of the most important work happens quietly.

In garages.
In workshops.
In ordinary evenings after long days.

March always makes me think of St. Joseph.

Steady.
Faithful.
Unseen.

Friday night my sister texted:
“Can you bring your ice cream scooper? I can’t find mine after the move.”

And immediately I thought…
I’m just going to buy her one.

And then of course my brain kept going — What if I made it a whole ice cream theme?

So I did.

Scoop. Thermal bowls. Everyone’s favorite toppings.

And because we were celebrating February and March birthdays, I made one for each of them.

This is exactly how my brain works when it comes to gifts.

I love taking something ordinary and turning it into a little moment.

Today my brother texted that he already used his. 😋

That might be the best part.
