Becca came on as an intern in the summer of 2016 right after graduating from BYU. She had lived in Sweden for some time so we shared a common interest in all things Scandinavian. She studied fashion so she had a firm grasp of sewing and turns out, our styles meshed beautifully. By the end, I trusted her to make choices that I would have made and enhance Lars. I felt like the luckiest person in the world, especially at a time when I became a mother and just wasn’t doing my job as well. I traveled way more in the last year, even with a baby, than I ever had before, and she handled it so beautifully. She was exactly what I needed and thanked my lucky stars for.
She’s going out on a new adventure with another (lucky!) company. I’m forever grateful for what she contributed to Lars. In a lot of ways she was like me–only much more organized, more disciplined, and with beautiful model hands. HA! But really, if she ever wanted to stop creating, she could make a killer living as a hand model. If you look inside Craft the Rainbow, her graceful appendages are all over the place! Besides her hands, her work is skilled and her taste is top-notch.
Before she left, I asked her if she would compile a list of her favorite projects that she worked on. These are the best of the best! Without further ado.

Becca’s Top 15 Projects
Becca here. After nearly 3 years at The House That Lars Built, I’ve decided it’s time for a new adventure. I’ll be hanging up my craft apron and saying my farewells to the Lars team in a few days and it’s certainly a bittersweet feeling and has me all nostalgic! I took a look back at some of my favorite projects I created over the years and wanted to share them with you! Trust me when I say it was VERY difficult to narrow it down. The selection ranges from the very first project I made–the fabric watches, to one of the very last–the applique tree skirt. I have learned SO much from Brittany and the gang and still consider myself one of the original fangirls of Lars! Here are my top 15 projects:
