About Us
I’m Janet and I love to craft and teach others what I have learned over the years. Like many of you, I started crafting as a child. When my children came along, I helped them craft. During a busy career I had less time to craft, which was kind of sad since I loved it.
Eventually, I realized that I had to make some “me time” to maintain my sanity.I dove back into crafting and learned so much and, along the way, I realized I found my passion.I have been teaching folks to craft for years, both in-person and online.
Our craft kits are laser-cut in central Missouri, right here in the USA. All of our kits are cut from MDF and plywood to order. There may be minor variations in color due to variations in the natural wood products. Edges of the products may be charred due to the laser cutting process.
If you are looking for some fun and relaxing crafting projects, I would be honored to help you succeed and have fun!
I’ve been married to my wonderful husband, Bill, for over 41 years, and am genuinely excited about our future. Bill is a technical trainer and my DIY “assistant”. He helps with just about everything from cutting orders to assisting with crafternoon with the Crafted by You! group.
We have two adult children as well as an “adopted” German daughter.
We live with our son, Bill, and his pups making our life full of enjoyment.
We currently live in central Missouri, where the back desk overlooking our wooded ravine is our favorite spot (this photo was taken there)..
About my Family
Our son, Bill, has three pups – Molly, Rocco and Baxter.
Molly is a 7year old rescue that is mostly Beagle and Dachshund.
Rocco is a 4 year old Hungarian Vizsla.
Baxter is a 1 year old rescue that has a lot of shepherd in him.
Our daughter, Katie, lives in Florida with her husband, Casen.
They have 2 German Shepherd pups named Aion and Artemus.
They are also expecting our first grand child in January, 2027.
Our “adopted” daughter was a foreign exchange student that stayed with us in 2000.
Maggie and her husband, Marco, live in Berlin, Germany so we only get to see them every 2-3 years but we have video calls regularly.
They have a 5 year old son named Emilian.
We look forward to getting to know each and every one of you.
From me and my happy family to you and yours, I hope you enjoy crafting with us for many years to come.
