Settlers Park Hand Sculpture
We created an 8-foot sculpture that captures the spirit of Hartland’s story—a hand, modeled after John Robert Crouse, the town’s founder, rising up to hold a woven heart transforming into a seedling. The woven heart pays tribute to Hartland’s rich history in weaving, while the seedling represents growth, resilience, and

Who Made the Detroit Axe Throne? WE DID!
Detroit Axe was the first wholly dedicated axe throwing venue in the state of Michigan. They offer 12 lanes where you can hurl hatchets after being instructed by your group’s very own axe master. What do you get if you win? A chance to sit in the awesome, oversized Axe Throne we made using

What We Do on Date Night!

Sometimes, You Can’t Listen To The Experts!
Just like Daren, my first experience with “Dumpster Diving” was in collage…I was taking a Three Dimensional required course and our final project was to make a Three Dimensional piece of our choice. At the time I was into creating things with glass…An old boyfriend worked at a glass shop

What Our Teenage Daughter Has Taught Us

How the Pirate Ship Camper Idea All Started

Tired Of That Tattling Elf On A Shelf?

I Want A Shed In The Shape Of A Giant Shoe
There once was a sweet woman who had so many children! Between work and the kids, she was always SO busy! Always bathing or feeding the children, cleaning the house, doing the dishes and the laundry….all she dreamt of was a space of her own. A place that was peaceful
