Meet Brenda, the Maker Behind Frontier Treasure

Hi, I’m Brenda! From my workshop in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, I create original DIY wood crafts, printable games, and heirloom crochet keepsakes. Frontier Treasure is where my lifelong love of making things comes together—and where there’s always another idea waiting to become a project.

A Lifetime of Making

One of my earliest memories is sitting with my grandmother as she taught me to quilt a potholder. I was only four or five years old, and I used that little potholder until it fell apart. I wish I still had it today.

My grandmother passed away not long afterward, but the love of creating stayed with me. Both of my parents were creative, hands-on people, and I grew up surrounded by tools, fabric, and projects in progress. My mother especially encouraged my creativity and supported my love of making things by hand.

Creativity Goes Wherever I Go

Over the years, crochet has become a constant companion. It goes just about everywhere with me—on trips, during quiet moments, and even into the forest! There’s usually a project close at hand and something new taking shape.

That same love of creating has led me to explore new materials and ideas, growing Frontier Treasure into the mix of crafts, keepsakes, and activities you’ll find here today.

Something to Create, Give, and Treasure

My DIY wood crafts are designed to give you the fun of making something your own. From Little Friends painting sets to seasonal interchangeables and classroom projects, each design is a starting point for your colors and imagination.

My printable games bring another kind of creativity to the table, with easy activities for holidays, birthdays, and family celebrations.

I also create finished wood décor and heirloom crochet keepsakes. Crocheted name doilies remain a special part of my work, celebrating family names, weddings, anniversaries, and the people who matter most.

Creating for the Community

Through my school fundraising collections, I make school-themed keychains, bag tags, earrings, and other keepsakes. A portion of each sale supports the participating school or organization, giving me another way to share my work and give back.

Thank You for Being Here

Whether you’re planning a craft day, choosing a game for a celebration, or searching for a meaningful gift, I hope you find something here that makes you smile.

Thank you for supporting my small business and the creativity behind every piece. I’m so glad you stopped by!
