Hi there I’m Lonie! Thanks for checking out my little corner of the internet! I decided to start this blog because I was craving a creative outlet, because working for the man, wasn’t filling that need. So it was with that need for a creative outlet, that I decided to share my ideas, thoughts and enjoyment of crafting, DIY, decorating, cooking, baking, photography, and tidbits about my life, with all of you. I’m a single lady living in Green Bay, trying to balance work, family and friends, crafting and blogging.I was born and raised in Green Bay, moved to Milwaukee for college, and came back home after I graduated. I’m a proud Wisconsinite and I love being from Green Bay. I think this little city is starting to come really into its own. There’s quite a lot that has changed since I moved back in 2004. It makes me excited to see what the future holds.
I would describe my design/decorating style as comfortable, mixing modern and vintage, with a hints of rustic and European farm. I love mixing large masculine pieces (sofas or chairs with nail head details) and soft, feminine accents, along with pieces that have a sentimental value (Wisconsin/Green Bay/Milwaukee centric pieces).
I also run the Etsy shop The Crafty Llama by Lonie.

Facts and Tid-Bits:
-
- I’m a HUGE Packer and Marquette fan.
- I like to support small local and other Wisconsin businesses.
- I’m learning how to garden through trial and error (I knew I should have listened more to my mom when I had the chance).
- I quote random TV shows, movies, and music. My favorites include The Office, Parks and Rec, The West Wing, Dazed and Confused.
- When I’m working I’m either listen to Podcasts, or music.
- In 2020 I just bought my first home, and became an auntie.
- I’m a cat and dog mom.
