In honor of SIX years of The Shop — we’re rebranding!
NOW The Lazy Lope Shop ✨
Same offerings plus some new ones, just all under a new name. The Lazy Lope Shop — bringing Artsy Oddities & Ends to the Midwest (& soon to be Southwest) since 2019. 🤍

Jackalopes have been my favorite “make believe” animal for a while and I thought it was cute play on words with the added “Lazy” (plus more unique lol).
It’s hard to run your own business when you’re wearing the hat of every role for years and years. And between this and Watkin Barn Quilts plus a few part time jobs, I haven’t been consistent all the time. I used to think it was a horrible fault, and that it made me “lazy”, but turns out I just wasn’t built for capitalism culture. 💀
Running this business by teaching workshops and selling at events has been life shaping and I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity to do this. Over the years I’ve had time to figure out what works and what doesn’t, but most of all—what I want to bring to the table! Literally and figuratively.
I am an artist through and through. I have A LOT of life to live and A LOT of artistic interests— this rebrand incapsulates the best of both! Plus the whole reason why I started my own businesses was to make them work for me.
This business gives me creative freedom away from the pressure to be something specific and it creates opportunity for other young artists and makers to do the same. No need to overthink the “success”, just focus on how it feels to me and I’ll continue to find my people. 🤍
So here we are! My business that reflects my *many* artistic interests, my love for creating art centric experiences and brings artsy oddity to others! Plus it let’s me live my damn life when I need. ✨
Thanks for being here and for getting artsy and odd with me! ✨
