Tea towels, napkins, pillows, and more
I love to find and design fabric to make you smile. My business evolved from making face masks for donations at the beginning of the pandemic and has evolved to making reversible cloth napkins, fabric coasters, pillows, tea towels, and more than 1,000 face masks. I’m a single mom and have been grateful to be able to work from home while my daughter attends virtual school this year.

FOLK
Woven and textile art and oil paintings
While traveling in Morocco I was inspired by its ancient textile traditions. I learned to sew while there and have since taught myself to weave on a variety of looms, some custom made. My works are sold as wall hangings, blankets, rugs, or made-to-order commissions. All are composed of natural fibers. On my site I also sell handmade Moroccan goods including textile, leather, and ceramics sourced from responsible organizations.
