I've been a lifelong crafter, exploring a wide range of creative mediums for as long as I can remember. From basket weaving, ceramics, and porcelain doll making to jewelry design, embroidery, stained glass, home décor sewing, wedding gowns, formal wear, and watercolor painting—the list goes on. In every craft I've pursued, my commitment has always been the same: to produce the highest quality work possible. I’ve taken the time to acquire the proper tools, often designing custom patterns before even beginning production. I fully immerse myself in each new craft, dedicating hours to learning, refining, and—most importantly—practicing until I achieve a level of mastery I can be proud of.

I began leatherworking thanks to a long-standing request from my husband, Mark. For nearly 35 years, he patiently waited for me to make him a “possibles bag” for his forest adventures—whether hiking, hunting, or simply exploring the outdoors. After decades of asking, I finally made it happen. He received the exact bag he had envisioned, and to my surprise, I discovered a new craft that’s both incredibly fun and deeply rewarding. What started as a personal project quickly turned into a passion.

Over the years, it’s been a true joy to share my skills and the handcrafted items I create with others. With Mark’s support on this project, we’re excited to help you bring that special piece you’ve always dreamed of to life. Whether it's a custom design or a timeless classic, we’re here to make it happen for you.

You might be curious about the meaning behind "62 Handcrafted." It’s simple: I was born in 1962, and I pour my heart into handcrafting everything I can. It’s a reflection of both my personal journey and my dedication to quality craftsmanship.
