The Tumbleweed Chronicles: Unfiltered Craft Series

Crafting. Cussing. Chaos.

This ain’t no soft-focus, perfectly curated DIY blog.


This is The Tumbleweed Chronicles—where hot glue burns, swear words fly, and sometimes the only thing that sticks is glitter... everywhere.

I picked up crafting in my 50s with zero training and a whole lot of attitude. No classes, no hand-holding—just me, some stubborn determination, and the occasional meltdown involving rhinestones and rage. I’ve taught myself everything I know, usually the hard way. And I’m still standing. Covered in thread. Probably bleeding. But standing.

This is my high-desert creative mess. The home of epic wins, tutorials that actually work, and disasters you’ll feel in your soul. Because crafting isn't just about making pretty things—it's about screwing up, figuring it out, and having the balls to try again.

So if you’re tired of the fake-polished DIY world and want the real, raw, sometimes ridiculous side of making cool sh*t—

Welcome to the wild side of the worktable.
