it’s about your taste, not mine.

I’ve never been very good at leaving things alone.

I’ve always loved making things. Now I want to help you make things your own.

For years, I shared more than 1,000 DIY projects through Trinkets in Bloom. Then I burned out, the site was hacked, and eventually everything went quiet.

Now TIB is back. I’m still making things, but this time I’m just as interested in helping you experiment, follow your curiosity, and trust your own taste.
