A musician and maker

By profession I am a musician and music teacher, but I have a lot of hobbies and interests. Besides music, I sew, do leathercrafting, garden, and cook. My YouTube channel and this site will be a mosaic of how I spend my time.

I have a Bachelors and Masters in Flute Performance. I also teach and play guitar, ukulele, voice, and piano. I have been heavily involved in music since I was 9 years old and love all the aspects of teaching, playing, and performing. In an attempt to diversify my income and do something unique with music I started to sew products for musicians. After I had the equipment I thought, well why not make anything I want? I’m a new sewist and have been sewing since Summer 2019, though I had some sewing classes in middle school. This hasn’t stopped me and it’s not about being perfect, but having fun, making things, and being creative. As I was sewing I discovered leather working on some YouTube channels and thought it was so beautiful. So I started collecting all of the supplies and began making leather goods in 2020. I also have had an interest in cooking and gardening (specifically growing food) for a very long time and have done both since I was in middle school.

I enjoy seeing things that others make and do. It’s very inspirational and with enough effort you can do anything, even if you’re not an expert. I have a lot of fun and feel very fulfilled having lots of hobbies on top of my job. I’d like Craft of Note to be an expression of me, while inspiring and entertaining others.
