The plan was to be a decorative arts curator, but as we all know, plans change. I am a stay at home mother of two, living in the Midwest, who bakes when I should be ironing, and stitches when I should be mopping the floor.

I grew up in a family where everyone made “stuff”.  Sometimes it was out of necessity, sometimes to prove it could be done, mostly I think it was just a better way to get exactly what we were looking for.

A handmade piece is exceptional not only for the time involved, but also the process.  Every time I make something, I learn something and my process changes and grows.  Growing along with the process is one of the great things about handmade work.

If you have any questions or would like to place an order, my email is mybricole@hotmail.com.  My etsy store is bricole, you should pop over and check it out. You can find more of my photos here on flickr. I keep track of what’s inspiring on the internet over at lately i love on tumblr.

Thanks for visiting mybricole at home.
