joy in motherhood, homemaking, faith & simple living
Hello, Los Angeles creatives, inspiration-seekers, and/or mamas! I hope you’ll join me for another LA meet-up the morning of Saturday, August 8th. (I’ve found a super delicious coffee shop/cafe/restaurant to meet at!) The conversation we had last month spurred on so many great conversations about books, home projects, and small business, and I can’t wait… [Read More]
The products I make are usually a solution to a “problem” I have: a bigger tote bag with multiple pockets or a zipped pouch to catch all of my favorites. But my most-recent need has been a hip pouch to hold my iPhone, earbuds, and house key while I run. I use two apps to… [Read More]

Today is the day! I feel so excited and grateful to be jumping back into the handmade scene. I have missed being a part of it (on this level) dearly.

Monday at 3am PST is the big day! I’ll have a small batch of Caroline-made pouches listed by morning, all handmade by me, and all sewn with seriously the biggest smile on my face. I truly enjoyed making this first batch, and I can hardly anticipate how great I will feel to release forthcoming batches…. [Read More]
So, there’s some exciting news to be shared: I’m re-opening my handmade shop! I’ve been playing around with fabric and metal zippers and suede Caroline-made tags, and it’s been so affirming to have made this big decision. Earlier this week I spent some serious time sewing a new batch of zipped pouches. The entire time… [Read More]
