I grew up in a house of makers. My parents built their own (dome) house, shop, studio, etc. When they wanted a camper van they cut a hole in the top of our VW and built their own pop-up tent on top. My mother had an extensive garden, goats, and chickens, plus still has art projects going at all times. I could go on. And so when I met my husband and he was a maker too, it seemed perfectly normal. But in talking to all my married girl friends, I realize how lucky I am that he's handy. Most days you will find us making: paintings, websites, furniture, curtains, etc. It's an obsession. I love it.
