CX Passport

My crochet designs are rooted in the slow, simple rhythm of my off-grid life in the woods. Each pattern is inspired by the beauty of nature, the warmth of handmade, and the quiet joys of cabin living. But this space is more than just stitches — it’s a peek into my everyday world: the projects I’m working on, the lessons I’ve learned (sometimes the hard way!), and the little victories that come with balancing a creative business and an off-grid lifestyle. When you join me here, you’re not just getting patterns — you’re stepping into a community that values cozy, mindful making and the serenity that comes from reconnecting with nature. So grab your yarn and a cup of something warm. Let’s crochet together, slow down, and find beauty in the simple things.

From capsule wardrobes to luggage that actually fits in the overhead bin, I share smart packing tips, honest gear reviews, and carry-on-only strategies that actually work—because you don’t need 17 outfits for a 5-day trip. Plus: hotel deals, unique travel guides, news & updates, the occasional contest!

I'm a Minnesota based podcaster, New York Times best selling author, digital marketer, speaker, educator, dreamer, mom of two, and the world's most curious human.
