About

my name is darla. i've decided to put a career in accessories design on hold to fulfill some new year's resolutions:

to make every single day creatively productive for a year
to work on projects of my own choosing and to chart my progress on this blog.
to inspire others to make something they can be proud of
to sell things i'm proud of to people who don't want to make them

please visit me here often. i'll be glad to show you how to make and do a variety of things, and grateful for the motivation that comes from knowing people are watching.

a note on my "portrait". this amazing clothespin doll was created by the talented sarah nueburger at the small object. she sold a DIY kit a few years ago that i customized and took photos of all over the world.
