by the sea

Hello! I am still here, but I have been limiting my time on the computer and doing more work in the studio. I am working on a whole series of summer items for the shop, inspired by our travels to Useppa Island last month. You see, there is not much sun and warmth to speak of in the Pacific Northwest just yet this season (hopefully coming soon). But it is most definitely summer in my creative thoughts.

I have also rediscovered by bicycle, which I haven’t ridden in 11 years! For Mother’s Day, old brown got a complete tune up and a brand new basket (perfectly detachable, with handles). It couldn’t have been a more perfect gift. I find myself planning in some time to ride it each day. I forgot how fun it is!

I will let you know here when I update the shop in a few weeks. There will be some brand new things I’ve been playing around with, plus some stuffed toys I’ve had inquiries about (whales, possibly some birds), charm bracelets, and pillows. All inspired by lovely summer days.

Thank you all so much for your kind words over on wise craft. Believe me, I have read every single comment and private email, every one. I love this community so much! It has been weird to be away from it, but you all have made me feel very supported and I think my life is finding a new balance every day right now.

not quite ready to update the shop just yet

Just a very quick note to let you know I’m postponing my shop update for another week or so, just so I’ll have some supplies I’m waiting on, plus have more time to finish what I’m working on. I have been very inspired in the studio, working with all the shells we brought back from our time in Florida (one of my favorites are the jingle shells in the photo above).

hello hello!

Welcome! I’m so glad you stopped by. This little spot is where you will want to stop by to find out shop updates, and other news.

00am p.s.t.

I will be adding a few charm bracelets to the shop on Wednesday, April 30 at 10am PST. Please check back if you are interested. If you don’t get one, please don’t dispair. I will always take a special order if there is time. Just send an email to blairstocker@gmail.com.

Look for a much larger shop update with all kinds of handmade goods for summer coming soon (totally different!).
