Finding creativity through chaos

When life throws exploding curveballs, sometimes the only thing to do is start over and create something beautiful from the rubble.

After a series of let’s just call them “medical setbacks” for now, a pretty sweet wedding, and a rather untimely global catastrophe, an artist uses the skills she’s picked up in her varied careers and educations to navigate this brave new world in her strange new body. (No, she’s not a cyborg. God, that would be awesome.)

This site serves as a one-stop-shop for everything Unwilling Housewife related, from the portfolio to the YouTube channel, to recipes and patterns and an Etsy Store. Welcome friends! It’s great to be here!

What do you do when you can’t create? When your tools are all packed away and your supplies all boxed up? Well, if you’re like me, you write. This is where I post life and project updates, recipes, and various other information. It’s also where I take a good hard look at this insane medical experience that I’m living and attempt to make some kind of sense out of all of it.
