Meet Rachel




Hi, I am Rachel Edwards. I live in Costa Rica with my amazing, tico husband and our two dogs, Barry Weiss (schnauzer) and Apolo (bulldog).  I am all about the arts and crafts; I love finding new projects and making them up as I go adding some of my own touches. Painting, drawing, sewing, quilting, jewelry, wood making, and decorating are a few of my favorites. My hope is that this blog will inspire you by giving you some tips and tutorials to create your own arts and crafts! 








Yes, our dogs were in our wedding and yes, they walked down the isle :)
