Meet the Maker
Hey! I’m Kara and I’m the face behind My Grey Haven. I live in the tundra of Southwest Michigan where we live for the summers. I started getting into wood working in 2016 with a hammer and some nails. My friend and I started making some wood boxes and decorating them for fall. We sold quite a few and I was hooked. It didn’t take me long to find myself needing all the power tools. My only training has been youtube and the amazing community on Instagram that has been more than helpful and generous in sharing tips and tricks. I love my time in the barn building and creating. It has filled a creative outlet I never knew existed. I never would have told you I would be doing this today, let alone loving every minute of it. I am a co-pastor with my husband of a church we planted in 2013, a teachers aid at my kids school, and mom of 2. I also work at a an amazing consignment store that houses 60 plus small business booths where I also sell my products. I’m busy so I don’t get all the hours Id like in my beloved barn but I make the most of the ones I get. I love making meaningful pieces for your home. If there is an idea you would like to see come to life I would love to help make that happen.
