For Christmas, my friend Sarah wanted some custom-designed photo albums for the women in her family. I was exciting to take this project on, as I’d never re-covered existing photo albums before. Below are the final results.

I’m embarrassed to admit that the book sat on a shelf for nearly a year before I got the nerve to even leaf through it much. The recipes contain so many ingredients and techniques that I’m unfamiliar with [...]

Remember this post from last week? That book was a simple mock-up that I made to practice the buttonhole stitch. The following project was my second attempt at buttonhole binding and box-making.
I created a box from Davy board and covered it in some very swanky flocked (fuzzy) paper I found at the SCAD bookstore, Ex [...]

On August 7th, my amazing sister-in-law Anna Meadows married her warrior, Cody Light. I was honored when they asked me to design their wedding cake.
