Ice Tie-Dye

What started as a Christmas gift for my dad, Jimmy Planet, soon became a neighborhood favorite. Watching him garden in his custom-dyed shirt sparked interest, leading to more creations for friends and neighbors. This project blends color theory, layering, fabric sourcing, and design—plus plenty of patience. Beautiful things take time, and I practice that skill daily. Explore my tie-dye work below!

Costume Design

Where my love for holidays, handmade art, and wearable creativity come together. A tradition since childhood, I’ve honed skills in sketching, sewing, material sourcing, and refining designs through testing and feedback. Each piece comes to life just in time for a Halloween debut—whether a candelabra or a princess! Explore my designs over the years below.

Ask me about these costumes—each one has a story! They make for a great icebreaker.

Crochet Work

A step away from knitting, crocheting is my go-to for creativity and relaxation. It hones my skills in design, pattern-making, organization, problem-solving, and even client relations (especially when working with a picky recipient!). Plus, it’s a great way to give my brain a break—just as long as I remember to rest my hands!

Client
Friends and family. My aunty Teri is my inspiration. See the pumpkin beanie she crocheted for me below.
