From Panic to Panes: My Stained Glass Happy Place

Hey there — I’m glad you’re here.

My name is Randi, I’m a stained glass hobbyist who fell into this craft thanks to a starter kit, a curious heart, and the need for a bit of calm in a noisy world. What started as a small project has turned into something that has helped me slow down and breathe more deeply. I share my cozy little life with my supportive and ever-helpful partner, Dylan, and a small herd of animals. Three cats (Appa, MoMo, and Juno) and two dogs (Bro and Parker) who keep things chaotic in the best way and are usually supervising from a sunny spot while I work.

I’ve dealt with panic disorder/GAD for a while now, and somewhere along the way, stained glass became a normal part of my daily fixations. There’s something incredibly calming about the process — picking out colors, scoring glass, and fitting the pieces together. It pulls me out of the chaos in my head and into the present moment.

There’s no big business plan here. I’m not trying to scale or sell out. I just wanted a space to share what I’ve been making! These pieces bring me joy, and maybe will bring you some, too. Each one is made with care, some oopsies, and a whole lot of heart.

When I’m not in the shop, I’m usually diving into cozy games, out thrifting, crocheting, getting lost in movies, or nerding out over fantasy worlds that feel like home. I’m also an avid reader of all things fantasy, and all of that magic and imagination spills into my work.

Thanks for reading! Feel free to reach out :)
