Let’s do life together

Does anyone else have a home project that’s been “ Does anyone else have a home project that’s been “almost finished” for...oh, I don’t know...five years?

As I was thinking about goals for the second half of the year, I realized I don’t want to lose 20 pounds, read 100 books, or climb a mountain.

I just want to repaint my doors.

And my baseboards.

And finish the spare room.

And make peace with my mudroom.

Okay...maybe I do have big goals.

I wrote a new blog post about the mental weight of unfinished projects and why I’m finally determined to start checking things off The List, even if it’s one project at a time and on a shoestring budget.

Link in the bio.

Tell me I’m not alone...

👇 What’s the oldest project on YOUR to-do list?

For the past several months, my studio has been fi For the past several months, my studio has been filled with creativity, late nights, fabric scraps, vintage finds, and more caffeine than I’d like to admit.

Every piece in my first collection taught me something. Every order reminded me that this dream is real because of people like you.

Now my studio is overflowing, and that’s a beautiful problem to have.

I’ve been creating new pieces behind the scenes that I can’t wait to share with you. But first, I need to make room for the next chapter.

So instead of packing these pieces away, I’m clearing the studio for the next chapter.

That means it’s time for the Archive Sale.

These are the final remaining pieces from my first collection. Every item is handmade, one of a kind, and once it’s sold, it won’t be restocked.

If you’ve had your eye on something, now’s the time.

Thank you for supporting this dream from the very beginning. Every order creates a little more space for what’s ahead, and I truly can’t wait to share it with you.

🩷 Shop the Archive Sale now.
🩷 Limited quantities.
🩷 When they’re gone, they’re gone.

Every ending makes room for a new beginning.

We spend so much time focusing on how far we still We spend so much time focusing on how far we still have to go…

That we forget how far we’ve already come.

The woman I was five years ago…

Would be proud of who I am today.

I wrote about this on the blog today because I have a feeling I’m not the only one who needs the reminder.

Now tell me…

What’s one way you’ve grown over the last five years that you don’t give yourself enough credit for?

Have you ever looked around at your life and quiet Have you ever looked around at your life and quietly wondered…

“Is this really it?”

Not because you’re unhappy.

Just because you can’t shake the feeling there’s something more.

That’s exactly what I wrote about today.

Just an honest conversation about fear, fulfillment, and why “someday” isn’t actually a plan.

Because maybe the biggest risk isn’t changing your life.

Maybe it’s never changing it at all.

I’d love for you to read it.

But even more than that…

I’d love to know your answer.

If nothing changed over the next five years… would you be happy?

People thought I was stuck up. Others thought I w People thought I was stuck up.

Others thought I was boring.

The truth? I’m just introverted, and decades of migraines have shaped some of my choices.

Recently, friends admitted they avoided us when we first met because they misunderstood our quiet nature. Now they say we’re some of the nicest people they know.

A reminder that first impressions aren’t always the truth.

Be curious. Not judgmental.

Have you ever been misunderstood?
