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.
