Hey friends đź’›
It’s been a little quiet around here lately—and honestly, that’s been weighing on me more than I realized. Life has been life-ing, and my creative energy just… paused. For a while, I felt like I had completely lost my rhythm with my art and dreams. I kept thinking, "How do I even start again?"
But here’s what I’m slowly learning: I might be starting over, but I’m not starting from scratch.
I’ve built something already. Something bright and colorful. Something full of heart and handmade love. Something that I was so scared to start to begin with, but actually made happen, last year. And while it’s true that I’ve stepped away for a bit, that foundation is still here—waiting patiently, like an old friend, ready to grow with me again.
This little business has always been more than just products or sales. It’s a reflection of joy, connection, creativity, and dreams. And those parts of me are still here too. Maybe a little rusty, maybe a little hesitant—but still here.
So if you’ve ever felt like you’re restarting something that once felt second nature, I see you. It’s okay to take your time. It’s okay to reintroduce yourself to your own work. It’s okay to start small... just keep going!
Because what you’ve built before still counts—and you never really have to go all the way back to the beginning. You’ve grown, you’ve learned, and you’re picking things back up with more heart than ever.
Thank you for being here. For sticking around. For cheering me on. I can’t wait to see where this dream takes us. ✨
With love and fresh beginnings,
