The Gals

Dottie is a freelance graphic designer, DIYer, sewer, paper crafter and mom who’s lived a little bit of everywhere from Washington to Maine, Tennessee to Illinois. “I think there are just so many meaningful things you can do at home to make people feel special — every little thing, even getting up early and having coffee made or setting a beautiful table — that make day-to-day living enjoyable.” Dottie’s posts will mostly focus on craft, food and home+garden.

Kate is a PR consultant, writer, knitter, gardener and shopper who grew up in Illinois before calling Michigan home. “Fashion is a way for me to put my personality out there, and crafting is a way for me to show people I care. I think bright colors can brighten any one’s day, whether it’s flowers, a sweater or a homemade gift.” Kate’s posts will mostly focus on craft, home+garden and style.

Katie works in marketing at an epicenter of higher education art and culture and loves her home state of Montana, writing, cooking and southern culture. “I think there’s something unique and very special about being able to create something at home for the people you want to share it with, finding ways to bring people together, and feeling that sense of accomplishment to say, ‘Hey I made that.’” Katie’s posts will mostly focus on craft, food and home+garden.
