I’m Eva, an artist and joyful chaos-crafter, piecing together a handmade life one offbeat project at a time. I rarely follow instructions to the letter and almost always go off-script — but that’s part of the magic. I draw, paint, letter, crochet, journal, sew, embroider, cook, garden, knit and love nerding out about keeping pets. For me, it’s less about perfection and more about the soul in a life built by hand. One day, I hope to move it all into a country house full of light, animals, and creative messes.
