We’re so grateful to have you here. Here are our May 2020 highlights:

  • As of writing this, we have made 695 handmade masks. We are still making and donating masks to local frontline workers and hospitals. You can find our handmade masks on our Etsy store and on our website. 
  • May is Asian American Pacific Heritage Month. We did a month-long series of writers and artists that we love. You can find all the posts here
  • We finished up a project with Ed Watson where Jen made Jedi robes for a Yoda statue. Check out his page for amazing artwork (he just launched a great line of yoga mats!)
