Welcome to our blog

This is our little corner of the internet where we slow down, reflect, explore studios, share ideas, and celebrate the joy of making things with our hands.

We're Mansi & Roxy. We're builders, makers, workshop addicts, and your guides through the creative playgrounds that are Toronto & Vancouver.

Grab a snack, scroll around, and get inspired. We're glad you're here. 💛
