Website Moving to Substack! & The Maker Room

 


About “The Maker Room”

Yes! It’s here! A savable place with alllll the details for what you see on my social media channels! Here we’ll be able to connect directly and go in more detail on projects by having a place to save and share full tutorials on what you see over on my social media channels. Including question and answers on projects, making tips, supply list, and alternative supplies for DIYs and crafts. 


Why this, why now?

With the fall and holiday season here - now more than ever it’s a great place to find a home where we can really MAKE together. Thus, “The Maker Room!” As I can connect one-on-one with each of you by breaking things down into more detail for each project, DIY and or craft by giving full video demos. Including answering and posting your questions and my answers. This includes adjusting a project to other ideas or themes if asked. I can deliver more on here while also having a permanent place to save it, as a reference for you. 


Mama Jots | The MAKER Room Community

By joining The Maker Room others will be able to see your questions come up while making something - including my answers on how I (or they!) can help you create it. In addition, our community will get to vote on things you’d like to see me MAKE come to life for up coming seasons.

I can’t wait to MAKE with you this season! 

We have so many fun projects to create together, especially with the holidays approaching. Handmade gifts, party inspiration and of course projects to make with and for our kids and tweens.

So Your Kids & Preteens Want To Craft More?

 Start Here.



This is the BEST time of year to craft and MAKE!

At least here in the PNW for us we get lots of rain, clouds and cool weekends so opening up a fresh pack of craft supplies with the fireplace on and asking Alexa to play some music in the background is pure joy. 

If you’re just starting out or nervous to craft with your kids & preteens - I gathered u some tips and tricks over the years that make it enjoyable for all 3 of us which include my youngest (7 years) and my preteen (10 years) and last of course.... me and my anxiety. 








Enjoy these little moments! 

As they can really MAKE crafts, handmade gifts, decor and accessories with you.


Happy MAKING - Steph
