I’m Milanka, a plant and craft enthusiast from Philadelphia living and working in the Blue Ridge Mountains. After working in geotechnical engineering for two years, I left to become a windsurfing instructor and live the dream on the Outer Banks. From there, I moved to have a new adventure in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia. I have two adorable dachshunds, Miko and Juni. I enjoy all kinds of crafting: knitting, crocheting, painting, cooking, taking care of my plants, and playing with my dogs. I wanted to make this site to have a collection of things I’m asked about often and a way to share my creations with friends.
