Happy 2026 ✨
I had every intention of putting together a 2025 “wrapped” post, but if I’m being honest, the last couple of weeks at home were a little heavy, and I let myself step back instead of pushing through.

What I did make time for this month was something just for me (a luxury I didn’t have much of last year). ❤️ Sometimes a creative reset is exactly what’s needed, and mine began with this small portrait of H**e, the goddess of youth.

As time keeps marching forward, I’m focusing on to leaning into the creative play of youth; experimenting with new techniques, patterned fabrics, wearable mediums, and pushing my designs in new directions. More than anything, I want to spend more time simply being creative.

Thank you to everyone who made 2025 so special. I truly loved everything I had the chance to create for you. ❤️

Well this is one of the best things I've ever gotten to do. 🥰 A friend reached out to me asking if I could turn her baby's blanket into some ornaments to commemorate his first Christmas. I was so giddy when I opened her package and saw these ADORABLE little ducks! I carefully framed one of each color and stitched them with his name and birthday (final ornaments not shown for privacy). I love this idea, it's such a sweet way to save a bit of his first year. ❤️

Merry Christmas to everyone, I hope your week is filled with love, peace, and happiness!
