About Us

I'm Mary! Owner, blogger, and artist behind My Crafting Attic.

I've been crafting in one form or another since childhood. I would spend the hot Jersey summers in the basement with my Mom working on crafts to sell at our annual holiday craft show. It was there that I grew a passion for crafting and the joy something handmade could bring to others.   

I went on to spend my college years balancing psychology and art to complete a BA in Art Therapy. I spent my days learning the techniques of different mediums and the evenings practicing them in the art building until the wee hours of the morning. It was there that I learned to appreciate the healing power of art.

When I became a SAHM in 2011 I wanted something that was my own outside of motherhood. I first created My Crafting Attic as a DIY blog to inspire and encourage others to find their crafty side. A few years ago I decided to go back to my roots and opened up an online shop taking custom orders for gifts and home décor. I love the journey that it has taken me on and am excited to see what happens next!
