About us

I’m Anne, a stay-at-home mama with a split personality – a little bit logical and a little bit arty. Since being a mom takes up most (ha! all!) of my time these days, my bipolar thoughts are often about things to do with The Babe, my fun-loving daughter.  And she is all about crafting.  Whether it’s painting or building or exploring a sensory side, this crafty mama has been dreaming up ways to inspire The Babe’s creativity.  Not to mention my own along the way!

The Babe doesn’t fall far from her mama’s tree or her grandma’s tree or her great-grandma’s tree. All the ladies in this branch of my family have (or had) an artistic streak. Mine just got slightly diluted by a career as a chemical engineer.  Career counselors were always perplexed by my unusual choices.  Should I go into engineering or should I become a makeup artist?  I did both because I couldn’t quite decide.

So Left Brain Craft Brain is born… a way to explore both sides of this mama’s brain. I hope you can join me on my journey introducing kids to Engineered Craftiness because exploring the scientific method through art can make for the most fun.
