Day one at Rhinebeck Crafts Festival? Pure magic. ✨

My one-of-a-kind paintbrush piece? Sold within the first hour.

And my brothers’ melted crayon art — two matching frames, one for each boy’s room — went home with the sweetest family. Because brothers make the best friends. 🖤

Tomorrow is the last day of Rhinebeck Crafts Festival.

10am to 4pm.

And here’s the thing — this is it for me until fall.

No summer shows. (Crayons + summer heat = a melted disaster, and trust me, we learned that lesson the hard way this week. 😂) I’ll be in the studio all summer long, making new pieces, new colorways, new quotes. But you won’t see them in person until fall.

So if you want to see my work live — touch it, hold it, find the one that was made for you — tomorrow is your last chance for a while.

Come find me at Rhinebeck Crafts Festival.
Sunday, June 7th | 10am – 4pm

New pieces. New colorways. New quotes.

And a whole lot of crayon art that survived the heat. 🕯️🎨

Today’s the day. 🎨
I spent yesterday setting up my booth at Rhinebeck in 95 degree heat — and yes, I left every single piece of crayon art safely tucked in the bins.
Because here’s the thing about making art out of melted crayons…
You really don’t want to find out what happens when you leave it out in 95 degree heat. 😂
So I got there early this morning, the booth is set up, the art is OUT, and I am SO ready for you.
New pieces. New colorways. New quotes. Pieces I’ve never brought to a show before.
Come find me at Rhinebeck Crafts Fedtival at the Dutchess County Fairgrounds today and tomorrow — doors open at 10am.
Teacher gifts. Baby gifts. One-of-a-kind handmade pieces made entirely from crayons, colored pencils, and paintbrushes.
Everything is made out of recycled art supplies — and today, none of it is melting. 😂
See you there. 🎨

Yesterday, my studio looked a little different.
It was so busy I forgot to post!
There were corsages on the counter. Curling irons next to crayon art. Two girls who somehow grew up way too fast getting ready for prom.

Masha and Dasha — the whole reason Masha Dasha Designs exists — headed to their senior prom. And their mama? She was there trying not to cry while hot-gluing pencils and packing up 47 pieces of handmade art for Rhinebeck Crafts.
This business was named for them. Built around them. And watching them get ready to walk out that door last night… I have no words. Just a lot of feelings and a glue gun.
The chaos is real. The heart is full. And this morning, we load up the car and head to the Dutchess County Fairgrounds to set up.

Come find us at the Rhinebeck Crafts Festival, this weekend.�New pieces. Teacher gifts. Apple art. Crayon frames.�All handmade. All made with love. And yes, made while surviving prom day. 💛

Lights on before 7am. ☀️

The studio is in full production mode this morning — and I mean FULL. 🎨

Every melted crayon piece I finish today needs enough time to seal before Friday. Whatever doesn’t get made today has to wait. So I’m moving.

New colorways. New quotes. Pieces I’ve never brought to a show before.

It’s all coming to Rhinebeck this weekend — June 6 & 7 — and I cannot WAIT for you to see what’s been building in here.

Come find me. 🍎

Mother’s Day has always meant something different to me.
It took years of IVF, a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy, a ruptured uterus, and the stillbirth of our twins, Eli and Samantha, to get to the family I have today.

The grief of losing our biological twins is something Michael and I carry quietly. But what happened next – what came FROM that loss – is the reason I’m writing this today.
The same weekend we said goodbye to our babies, two little girls were placed in a small orphanage in Tver, Russia. We didn’t know them yet. We didn’t know anything yet. But nine months later, on Thanksgiving Day 2008, we opened an email with a photo of twins who needed a family.
Their names were Masha and Dasha.
In the Jewish tradition, children are often named after relatives we’ve lost. Michael’s grandmothers were Marcia and Doris. MA. DA. The initials were right there.
The signs were all there.
We traveled to Russia, walked into that orphanage, and our lives changed completely. One girl was tiny, fists clenched, fighting to survive. The other was running around the room like she owned it. Both of them were ours.
They came home. They thrived. They unclenched their fists.
And when they started preschool and I needed to find a teacher gift that meant something – I sat down with crayons, and Masha Dasha Designs was born.
Every piece of art I make carries their names. Every crayon, every colored pencil, every monogram – it’s all because of the road that brought us here. The losses, the paperwork, the 40 days in a snowy Russia, the moment I held two toddlers who were always meant to be mine.
Meri and Dani graduate Greeley High School this June. I can barely type that without losing it completely.
This Mother’s Day, Inside Chappaqua magazine told our story. I’m sharing it because someone out there is in the middle of their own loss right now – and I want them to know that love finds a way. It really, truly does.

She walked into my booth, stopped dead in her tracks, and said “oh my God. I love it. I have to have it.”
Then she wondered if she should call her husband first.
He picked up and before she could even finish her sentence he said “you don’t have to call me. If you want it, get it.”
So she did. 🥹
This is the Ahava piece. One of eight large one-of-a-kind pieces I debuted at Crafts at Lyndhurst this weekend —one of the most special pieces I’ve made.
Ahava means LOVE in Hebrew. And I wanted every single part of this piece to mean it.
The middle word is cut crayons arranged in perfect rainbow order. The top and bottom words are made entirely from crayon wrappers — one in rainbow order, one in mixed rainbow colors. And the shadow box frame surrounding it all? Wrapped in crayon wrappers too.

She said she had no room for it. She bought it anyway. And honestly? That’s the only right ending to this story.
Because when something is made with that much love… you make room. 🌈❤️
To the woman who took Ahava home — I hope it brings you as much joy hanging on your wall as it brought me making it. Thank you for seeing it the way I hoped someone would. 🎨

She gave me the idea two years ago and walked back in on the last hour of the last day.
I wish I was making this up.
A couple of years ago a woman stopped at my booth and looked at my hearts — I was only making them from single supplies back then. A heart made entirely from crayons. A heart made entirely from colored pencils. A heart made entirely from pencils.
She looked at them and said “you know what would be amazing? If you made one with ALL of them together. Crayons, colored pencils, pencils, rulers, paintbrushes — everything in one heart.”
I loved the idea. I wrote it down. And eventually… I made it.
A big, beautiful, 20x16 heart made from every single art supply I work with. Crayons and colored pencils and pencils and rulers and paintbrushes all arranged together into one giant heart. One of eight special one-of-a-kind pieces I debuted at Crafts at Lyndhurst this weekend.
I hadn’t seen her since.
Until Sunday. Last hour of the last day of the market. She walked into my booth and said “I don’t know if you remember me, but a couple of years ago I told you that you should make a heart with all of the supplies together.”
I looked at her.
I looked at the heart on my wall.
I said “I have been waiting for you.”
She saw it and her face said everything. It was a little large for her space. She went back and forth. And then she looked at it one more time and said “I just have to have it. I love it too much to leave without it.”
She took it home. 🥹
This is why I do what I do. Not just the art. Not just the sales. But these moments — where something comes full circle in a way you could never plan, never predict, and never forget.
To the woman who planted that seed two years ago and came back to find it in full bloom — thank you. Your idea became one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever made. I’m so glad it found its way home with you. 🎨❤️
