This blog is a creative mess — just like life 💖

I'm what's known as a chaos crafter. This means I draw, paint, letter, crochet, journal, sew, embroider, cook, garden, knit and love nerding out about keeping pets. Here, life and creativity is less about perfection or getting to the end of it, and more about the soul and joy you find in getting stuck in and doing things by hand.

xoxo Eva
