Welcome!

I started this newsletter as a way to share more than just new embroidery patterns. It's become a space where I can tell you about the creative process, the stories behind the designs, and how I use making as a way to ground myself in the midst of a busy life. You'll hear about new kits and workshops, but also about the small moments - finding calm with a needle and thread, working through stress by carving a linoprint, or discovering inspiration in the garden.

The longer version

In the past Instagram was the place where I shared more spontaneous quick glimpses of what I'm working on and what inspires me. However, if you're anything like me you might resonate with the icky feeling instagram gives. I want to move that content into my newsletter, where I am more intentional about sharing behind the scenes and creating a connection, and where you can read about and find inspiration in a more intentional way.

If you're looking for permission to carve out time for creativity, or you want to experience how making something by hand can be transformational, I'd love to have you here. I don't send emails on a strict schedule, just when there's something worth sharing - a new pattern, a tutorial, or reflections on how creativity nurtures and heals.
