Loving this shirt my sister gave me for Christmas. So thoughtful and fun. Feeling productive just wearing it.😄 How are YOU feeling today?

SpunkyHouse plans for the colder season…starting out slower with 2026 events to allow more time for building up stock while we’re inside during the chilly time of year. Though, you’ll want to take note…this January event will be a Big one and new to SpunkyHouse, so plan on coming out! I’m so excited to get back to work today to start in prepping for the Wichita Area Builders Association 72nd Annual Home Show & Market Place at Century II the end of this month. I’m hoping for some pretty snowy backdrop days to work by this winter. How ‘bout you?

Mark your calendars:

WABA 72nd ANNUAL HOME SHOW & MARKET PLACE at Century II Expo Hall & Convention Hall - Wichita

Hope this New Year is finding you healthy and happy as you look towards your 2026 plans and goals. My words for 2026 are Slow Down and I wanted to start by taking a moment to acknowledge the places who welcomed me as a vendor in 2025. SpunkyHouse popped up 36 times this year and you all showed up! You supported not only this small biz, but so many others by choosing to shop intentionally and locally. It never ever goes unappreciated. Thank You for making a meaningful difference in our lives, and our livelihoods.🩵

I am thankful to have been invited by Linda with Plymouth Congregational Church Fine Arts Committee to display my sewn goods in their space this winter. Yesterday my daughter and I had the opportunity to meet Linda (not pictured) while we set up and she was so kind and welcoming. While there, we met another creative, watercolor batik painter and printmaker Becka Jahelka who was also setting up and hanging her beautiful artwork to be displayed down the hallway. Linda told us about their Fine Arts Committee and that alongside inviting various local artists to display there throughout the year, they also offer dinners, host various events/productions, and offer classes to try different art and creative mediums, like crocheting, among other things. I love that this church offers worship services to all, and also welcomes a creative spirit that is shared not only with their members, but with the Wichita area community as well. See their website for their schedule and info. You may view and purchase our displayed pieces in person through 2/23/26 at:

Plymouth Congregational Church
202 N Clifton Ave
Wichita KS 67208
(316)684-0221

Enter from the north through the doors under their covered drive during normal office hours,
Mon-Thurs 8:00a-5:00p.

This was the last custom order I finished for 2025 and I think they turned out beautifully. She asked for three coordinating Placemat Sets in “browns and blues” with three Oven Kitchen Hang Towels that matched the placemats. What do you think of these?

Please help me create what YOU want to have in 2026:
•What have you had a hard time finding?
•What would make your kitchen life easier?
•What new item would you like to see?
•What item would you miss if I took it away?
•What new reusable items would you use?
Thank You!
