My Side of the Trail

October wrapped up with my last fall market of the season at the Vail Village Handmade Expo. Huge thank-you to everyone who came by, browsed, chatted, or took home art—your support means everything as I head into the holiday rush.

I've been able to spend the last few weeks taking more personal time as I transition between market seasons. A few friends and I went canyoneering in North Wash outside of Hanksville, Utah. We did two canyons…and spent the rest of the time hanging out in the rain. Not exactly the trip we planned, but still a fun, muddy, cozy-in-the-car kind of weekend.

At home, I’ve been leaning into the cozy kitchen season:

  • I made a spiced carrot cake with hand-grated carrots from my garden—my first cake ever!

  • And a creamy bean-based butternut squash soup that will definitely be sticking around all winter.

The chickens are doing great and enjoyed every veggie scrap the garden had to offer as I prepped it for winter. They’re currently molting and looking extra scruffy (not their most glamorous season), but spirits—and appetites—are still high.


For Halloween, I got to do some face painting for the kiddos at the Breckenridge Library, which was a blast. And Otis of course was was a Halloweenie, being the festive man he is to round out the month.

My Side of the Trail

This month was full of color, connection, and a little bit of chaos. I wrapped up the summer market season at the Dillon Farmers Market and set up at the Copper Union Peak Festival earlier in the month. The fall colors showed off in the mountains, making every drive and booth setup feel extra special.


We had friends visit from Virginia, and Stephen dove deep into perfecting his espresso game—which meant I happily indulged in homemade pumpkin spice lattes. Otis has been working through an injury but is back to his playful, running self (with a little extra TLC).


We also traveled to Minnesota for a family trip—the first time my whole family was together since our wedding last June! It was so good to see my sisters, their partners, my parents (and put my mom to work on a drawing of mine), and my nephews and see everyones sport skills put to the test on the golf course. I also got to finally gift a project to the boys that Ive been slowly working on for a year! - a felt vegetable garden (pattern by Lia Griffith). Back in Colorado, we had a beautiful autumn photo shoot with a friend, capturing some memories with Stephen and Otis. Props to my friend Roger Abdella and his beautiful photography skills. He primarily does astrophotography and his work is BEAUTIFUL . Check it out here!


I rounded out the month with a lovely weekend in Carbondale visiting my friend Ro while in town for the Glenwood Springs market—a perfect way to end a busy and beautiful month.




New Products in My Shop

  • DIY Felt Kits – I designed some cozy, hands-on kits perfect for fall crafting. They feature French hens and a sweet little a-frame cabin—great for a quiet afternoon project or a gift for your fellow crafters. This was a fun project because it involved drawing out the shapes, transforming them into svg files, coming up with embroidery stitches, and turning it into a full-blown kit with photo tutorials and all of the supplies.

  • 11x14 Art Prints – I also added a handful of prints to the shop, make sure to check them out!

I’m excited to keep expanding my offerings and can’t wait to see how you make these new pieces your own! Stay tuned for some new holiday items!



What’s on the Workbench

My creative plate has been pretty full lately, and I’ve been loving the variety of projects:

  • Logo Design – I’m working on a new logo for my friend’s sound healing and meditation business.

  • Coloring Pages – I put together some fun coloring pages for a fundraiser tied to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and Amigo Airsho

  • Community Art – I submitted a design to the Dillon reusable bag program (my hometown!)—fingers crossed it gets selected!

  • Holiday Collection – On the festive side, I’m developing a “Merry Chickmas” card set (silly chickens in holiday cheer 🐓🎄) along with a 2026 calendar.

I will also be vending at the last Dillon Farmer’s Market of the season as well as participating in my fist event at Glenwood Springs, come say hi if you are in the area!


Enjoy the beginning of leaf peeping season in the mountains and get all those last moments of sunshine on your face that you can! Remember you can also purchase from me year round via my website (free pickup in Summit County), on Etsy, or in any of these retail locations:


Breckenridge, CO

Silverthorne, CO

Dillon, CO

Frisco, CO

Georgetown, CO

  • Columbine Corner: Georgetown, CO (new retail location, and my first wholesale deal!)



My Side of the Trail

I started the month vending at First Friday in Silverthorne, which is always such a lively way to share my work and catch up with the community. That same weekend, Stephen, Otis, and I spent the weekend rafting—once we’re on the water, it’s hard not to crave more.


The following weekend we drove up to Bozeman for a friend’s wedding, which turned into a beautiful reunion with some of my closest friends. The celebration was full of joy, and I came home feeling so refreshed. Back in Summit, I spent a few Fridays at the Dillon Farmers Market, soaking in the bustle of summer.


Later in the month, we took an impromptu trip down to Durango and Grand Junction for Stephen’s work. Between rainstorms, we managed to squeeze in a hike, and those few hours on the trail were amazing. Then, over Labor Day, we were back on the river—this time for a three-day rafting trip with my aunt Eileen. Otis is quickly becoming a seasoned river dog, which makes those adventures even sweeter.


In between travels, Stephen’s friends came to stay with us for a bit, along with their two little ones. Our house was suddenly full of energy, laughter, and much welcomed chaos. Closer to home, Thursday nights have been dedicated to my sand volleyball team, the Servezas. We’re far from champions, but it’s been a fun way to mark the end of each week.


And through it all, the garden has been quietly thriving—plenty of lettuce, peas, and carrots—and the chickens are doing just as well. This season has been such a good balance of adventures, reunions, and grounding moments at home.




New Products in My Shop

The biggest update to my shop this month has been the large, framed posters of my most popular designs these days; Colorful Colorado and The National Parks of the USA maps! It’s been so fun showing these off at markets this month and even enjoying them in my own home as well!



What’s on the Workbench

iI’s been an exciting mix of projects lately. I was honored to have my poster selected as the winner of the Blue River Watershed Group’s design contest, which opened the door to another fun collaboration—creating coloring sheets for the Albuquerque Hot Air Balloon Fiesta and the Amigo Airsho.


Closer to home, I designed a new logo for the Summit County Write the Rockies writing contest, a project organized by the library and other local partners. I also wrapped up a custom map that highlighted a friend's four years of travel (we are still working on the title)—pulling together so many special places into a single design was both challenging and rewarding.


And with the holidays slowly coming into view, I’ve been sketching out a new DIY ornament kit: a little A-frame cabin, complete with details to stitch and decorate. I’m excited to debut it at Christmas markets later this year.
