Hello! We are sisters-in-law, friends, co-adventurers, and passionate makers of… everything! We love to explore arts, crafts, carpentry, home decorating, gardening, you name it! Although we both love creating, we have different interests and styles – which hopefully will keep things interesting here. Read more below.
More about Larisa
I’m a writer, an introvert, a craft enthusiast, and a lifelong learner. I live in a cozy cottage in Midcoast Maine with my husband Jon, our elderly cat Gerry, and our three house bunnies, Albus, Jazzy, and James.
Vibe: Cozy and creative
Maker philosophy: There are times you want things to be perfect, and there are times you want to be creative and explore. Know the difference, and don’t neglect the creative time. In that time, embrace the imperfections because that’s where the learning (and often the magic) happens.
Topics I like to write about: The good life, food and drinks, fiber arts, crafts, products I love, the creative process, cozy decorating, natural beauty, aromatherapy.
Favorite place: My couch. But also Hawaii.
My maker style: Spontaneous and improvisational
More about Jill
Hi, I’m Jill. I have a career in health care, but my heart belongs to diying, making things for my home, and homemaking. I live across the street from Larisa (the other half of Timeonourhands) with the man of my dreams, Kevin, and our fury baby girl, Kitty Kitty.
Vibe: hyperactive and bubbly
Maker philosophy: I’m a curious creature. I like to ask questions and learn about what and how things are made. Food, furniture and feverything else … I want to learn how to make it all from scratch.
Topics I write about: decorating, cleaning, organizing, indoor gardening, entertaining, diying.
Favorite place: anywhere near the ocean.
My maker style: research it, plan it, make it.
