About Chas

Hi, I’m Chas and I’m so excited to meet you!

What You’ll Find on This DIY Website

My DIY website is about what I repurpose, upcycle, craft, organize, clean, hack, cook, and oh so much more!

It’s about doing things we love – teaching, learning, sharing, crafting, organizing, inspiring, helping, collaborating, supporting, and building a community… a family!
Do you want seasonal decor? Maybe you want to repurpose & upcycle? On a budget or like thrifting and garage sales? This is the place for you!
I’m a breast cancer survivor and have gone through 2 hip surgeries. I share all my tips, tricks, and things I’ve learned on my journey with you. Chemical-free cleaning, tips on reducing stress, being mindful, and easy recipes are just a few things you’ll see.
How do you learn best? Written instructions, pictures, videos? I have taught for over 30 years and I have several learning styles here for you! If you have questions, comments, or ideas – my door is open, and I’d love to hear from you.

I love creating tutorial projects and videos for you!

About Chas

Originally from Minnesota, I’ve called Colorado home since my teens. I’m a proud Colorado State University alumna with a Bachelor of Arts in Dance. For 24 years, I was the artistic, program, and company director of Mountain Kids dance program.

I’m a mother of two amazing kids, a bit kooky, always a kid at heart, and admittedly the typo queen (sorry about that in advance!). I love family time, movies, outdoor activities, and embracing a simple life.
