CHICAGOLAND - As some of you know, this is sadly my last year here in Illinois 💔 Thanks to my Husband’s job in the Navy, we move every 3 or 4 years 🤮 and our next move should be happening May/June 2026. I will continue to do local markets and events up until the very end and make this last year here count!! We don’t know where we’re going next, but I’m hoping it’s somewhere closer to my family in Virginia Beach🤞🏻

Knot boring macrame for not boring people 👁️

The season is changing and I am so ready! 🍂
You can find me and so many other awesome small businesses this Saturday! They’re hosting a Germanfest, with live music and activities for kids. Bring your dogs, grab a 🍻 and enjoy the cooler weather while you shop at the makers market from 11-4pm. See you there!

🦋 I’m never going to stop making these cutesy butterfly wall hangings, so get used to seeing them 🦋

🦋 I’m blown away by all of the positive support after announcing that I will no longer be selling on Etsy.
While I wait for my website to be made, I will create a highlight with available pieces. Feel free to message me if you’re interested in any of them.
If you’re local, I have so many events coming up where you can shop my fiber art in person!

For now, here’s one of the butterfly macrame wall hangings. I made recently. Ya’ll know how much I love butterflies 🦋

I made the decision to leave Etsy. I can lie and say “ this wasn’t an easy decision to make” but it actually was easy.
Due to their constant increasing fees, ridiculous rules, lack of customer service for the shop owners and so much more .. I permanently deleted my shop.
I refuse to let Etsy steal one more penny from me.
I am currently in the process of setting up my own website or Shopify. Please bear with me because I am not good at this kind of stuff 😜
In the meantime, if there’s something you wanna purchase from me, just send me a message!
