Hello, dear crafters and gardeners!

✨ Life + Creative Updates
The start of 2025 has been about recommitting to what matters—clearing space, completing overdue gifts, and carving out time for focused work. I’ve also been prepping for our next chapter as we move closer to my husband’s retirement in 2026.
- 📦 Continued organizing craft supplies
- 🗃 Reassessing what tools and materials truly serve my goals
- 📝 Adjusting content plans to reflect a more flexible, fulfilling pace
🧵 New Projects and Plans
- 🎁 Finishing two long-overdue handmade gifts
- 🪑 Designing a painted rocking chair for Zeke’s 2nd birthday
- 🪡 Starting prep for holiday-themed crafts
- 📜 Researching vintage patterns for future PDF downloads
🎙️ Studio Goals + Storytelling
This season, I’ve leaned into the idea that less can truly be more. By letting go of what no longer fits (creatively or physically), I’ve made room for new inspiration and better flow. I’m focused on storytelling and sharing not just finished projects, but also the why and how behind them.
🌱 Looking Ahead to Spring
- 🌼 Garden prep + inspiration board
- 🎄 Drafting early Christmas crafts and content
- 💌 Getting caught up with blog and video posts
- 🧵 Launching vintage patterns on Etsy
As always, thank you for being part of this journey. Your support and presence mean the world.
Cheers and Best Wishes!
— Wendy
