Welcome to our corner of creativity. We are Cindy and Ricky—proud U.S. Air Force Reserve retirees who have transitioned from years of service to a life shaped by craftsmanship, curiosity, and imagination.

Ricky retired from the Air Force in 2011 after more than three decades of service and continued his civilian career as a software technical seller for a Fortune 500 company. Cindy retired in 2013 and soon embraced her lifelong passion for embroidery, transforming fabric and thread into beautifully detailed works, created one careful stitch at a time. In 2025, Ricky fully retired, finally devoting his time to the woodworking projects he had long envisioned.

Our arts and crafts studio is a celebration of creativity beyond service—a reflection of the belief that retirement marks the beginning of a new chapter, not the end of the journey. Each piece we create is inspired by dedication, a commitment to learning, and the quiet satisfaction of making something by hand. Cindy brings elegance, texture, and intricate detail through embroidery, while Ricky adds warmth and character through handcrafted woodwork.

We’re delighted to have you here. Explore our work, find inspiration, and share in the enduring art of making.
