ABOUT JANE
Welcome to Jane’s Distractions — a joyful little corner of the internet where
glue guns, glitter, and good vibes reign supreme.
I’m Jane, a retired architect, art school dropout, vintage
collector, and proud thrift shop sorceress. After decades stuck in the
corporate machine — where my creativity was boxed up and shelved — I broke
free. I ditched the hustle, picked up my scissors, and started crafting the
life I always dreamed of.
Now, I teach people how to create beautiful, meaningful
things using thrifted and secondhand supplies — not to save money (though
that’s a bonus), but to spark joy, reduce waste, and reclaim our creativity
from the grip of perfectionism and consumerism.
Here, you’ll find DIY tutorials, upcycled treasures, vintage
style, and the occasional Barbie doll makeover. My goal? To show you that you
don’t have to be rich, trendy, or “talented” to live beautifully. You just need
curiosity, courage, and maybe a stash of old buttons.
This isn’t just crafting — it’s creative rebellion. It’s
storytelling through scraps. It’s a place where weird is wonderful and
“one-of-a-kind” is the highest compliment.
So grab your glue gun and let’s make something magical.
