why i do what i do.

hello friends.

it's been a long stretch of time since i last posted..

i'm here to change that! ;)

let me catch you up:

the holidays were super rad; for us as a family & for my business. (yay!)

december was busy + at times quite crazy, but it was all way worth it.

so here we are beginning a new year.

(which, i can't believe jan. is almost through)

as many of you probably don't know, after thanksgiving I left one of my jobs, as a nanny.

my goal was in that in this new found free time I had I would:

pursue my passions, try + build my business, and to really see if I could make this dream i had- a reality.

& thankfully, i'm married to a husband who completely supported the goals i had. (adam, i love you.)

i've been hustling at work: dreaming + creating new products and ways for

it's certainly been a learning experience, but that's part of the fun, right?

God knew the desires I had, the potential I had, and allowed that to shine through.

He's provided a constant flow of business + interest,

and for that I am so grateful. It was so worth taking that leap.

I never imagined I'd be here; running a small business

and getting the chance to connect with folks all around the country.

I wanted to just share with you a little bit about why I do what I do:

I have a passion for creating things by hand; handmade, homemade, from scratch.

I thrive when I'm creating something by hand.

Ever since I picked up sewing, something just came alive in me.

I love to be behind my machine.

Having endless possibilities & the desire to learn and grow with my craft.

I enjoy making goods that are practical & thoughtful to give + receive.

I want you to know, that I pour my heart in the things I make.

No two things will ever be the exact same.

I'm not a mass producer, and I'm content with that.

I believe in creating things that you can't just easily replicate.

Vintage + Recycled materials are my favorite to work with.

Everything you see + touch has been thought through.

e n d l e s s l y.

each stitch, each hand cut label, each typewritten tag,

it all has a purpose.

to bring each factor together;

creating something that is truly, one of a kind, not made in china,

made by my hands and with my heart.

so if you were wondering why, i hope i answered your question.

this whole process has been such a blessing in my life.

to truly see my potential and to be striving to make things happen.

it's rewarding to see ideas blossom + come to life.

thank you for supporting me and this journey i'm on.

it means the world to me.

i'm excited for this year to come & for what new adventures it has in store!
