🍅✨ Sneak peeks of the pretty things I’ve been creating behind the scenes…

I’ve been working on several new scissor fob and bag charm designs and I’m so excited to finally share a little glimpse of what’s coming soon.

The first design is this vintage inspired tomato pincushion charm. I hand dyed the seam binding myself to give it that soft aged look like something tucked away in an old sewing basket. We are still working out a few little kinks on this design, but I already love the direction it’s taking. ❤️🧵

I also redesigned my Chicken on a Nest charm and added customizable bead names! These can be personalized with:✨ your name✨ WIP✨ TIME OUT✨ SAMPLER✨ guild names✨ stitch group names✨ retreat gifts✨ a stitching friend’s name & more

I’ll also be releasing some larger customized designs soon featuring stitching themed words + customization fobs & bag charms.

I have a huge supply order coming in soon and my brain is already overflowing with ideas for upcoming releases. Thank y’all for following along and supporting these little handmade creations while they come to life. 🍅✨
If you have followed me very long you know that I like making pretty things and it brings my heart so much joy when you love the things that I design 🫶🏻💞🪡

I am getting set up for an upcoming project that I cannot wait to share with y’all. 🪡✨

Here in the fiber arts community, so many of us are in our “Grandma Hobbies Era,” and with that comes all the little crossover hobbies too. From cross stitch to embroidery, embroidery to needlepoint, needlepoint to knitting, knitting to crochet… somehow one creative hobby always leads to another.

I think after years of endless scrolling on our phones, many of us have realized how empty it can leave us feeling. We were designed to create beautiful things with our hands. Some may be better at cross stitch, while others may shine in quilting, knitting, or embroidery — but one thing I’ve noticed is this: when we are creating, our hearts are happy 🥹💞🪡

There’s something so comforting about slowing down. Sitting quietly with our thoughts. Not feeling the pressure to constantly perform or rush. Some of y’all stitch while watching FlossTube, some listen to audiobooks, and some enjoy the peaceful silence while they create. No matter what kind of stitcher you are, I hope you’re finding joy and contentment in the creativity of these hobbies.

This year I’ve really wanted to branch out creatively. I’ve tried knitting, punch needle, and now I’m diving deeper into embroidery — and I’m so excited to be collaborating with Clever Poppy on this beautiful apron project. 🌿

One thing I absolutely love about Clever Poppy is that they include tutorials for every stitch, making it approachable and not so intimidating even if you’re brand new to embroidery. Step-by-step, we’re going to learn and stitch this project together this week.

If you’ve never heard of Clever Poppy, go check them out here on Instagram and on their website:

I can’t wait to share more of this project with y’all soon. 🪩💃🏼

Tomorrow wraps up the final day of Market Mania hosted by 🪡💞

I honestly thought I would have had more stitching time this month than I have, but I’m still so happy I participated. I’ve had one finish, and I’ve finally gotten Reynard’s overalls outlined and started filling them in with the soft light blue. Progress is progress, and I’ll gladly take it. 😉🦊

REYNARD is the sweetest little fox animal cracker in the British series designed by Stacy Nash, and I absolutely adore him. I cannot wait to stitch his satchel because mine is definitely getting tiny tools tucked inside. 🦊🪚🔨

This has been such a fun event, and I want to say a heartfelt Thank You” to the lovely host for bringing all of us stitchers together for Market Mania. It’s been such a joy seeing everyone’s projects, progress, and excitement this month 👏🏻💞

Today I’m giving myself permission to sit and cross stitch for a little while. 🪡

I’ve had Reynard kitted up for quite some time and I really need to see progress on something I’m working on… so away we go!

I made a very simple little key fob with a hammer, crescent wrench, and a couple different saws. I cannot wait to finish his tool bag and tuck all of his tiny tools inside. 🧰

I’m stitching completely from stash for this one and pulled floss I already had on hand. I’m still not totally sure about the colors yet, but we’ll see if they work out 😅

Tomato girl summer… but make it stitched. 🍅

There’s just something about tiny tomatoes, worn wood tones, antique treasures, and the glow of lamplight that feels like home to me lately. These little tomato pin cushions have completely stolen my heart. Each one brings me so much joy 😍🍅

Hand stitching has a way of slowing life down in the sweetest way. A cup of coffee nearby, soft music or an audiobook playing, thread through fabric, and a basket full of little finishes waiting to be admired… it’s the simple things.

I think every sewing room deserves a few tomatoes scattered around ( that’s just my opinion) ❤️🍅

Tomato Girl Summer 🍅

My garden is growing,
my stitches are too,
tiny red tomatoes
worked in every hue.

Tomato pin cushions
lined up on my shelf,
little stitched treasures
that feel just like myself.

Scissor fobs swinging
from every pair I own,
little tomato treasures
my favorite ones I’ve known.

Fresh picked from the garden,
still warm from the sun,
salt, pepper, and mayo…
simple things are the fun.

Give me gingham and baskets,
vines climbing high,
needle and thread
with July in the sky.

Some girls chase diamonds,
or beaches afar,
but this Tomato Girl Summer
is exactly who we are. 🍅😉😊

The phrase “root of bitterness” is such a powerful picture because roots grow underground long before anyone sees the fruit. 🌷

A few weeks ago at the ladies meeting I attended, Sister Wilson talked about how God’s mercies are new every single morning… and if we freely receive His mercy, we should learn to extend that same mercy to others daily too.

That message has stayed with me.

So many times bitterness doesn’t begin with the actual offense… it begins with the story we continue telling ourselves about the offense. We replay conversations, assign motives, relive hurts, and ruminate on wounds until they begin shaping the way we see everything.

Hebrews 12:15 warns us not to allow a “root of bitterness” to spring up and trouble us. Bitterness grows quietly. It starts with hurt, disappointment, betrayal, rejection, or pain that never gets properly healed.

Romans 12:2 tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Transformation happens at the belief level. What we repeatedly think becomes what we believe… and eventually what we live out.

One thing I’ve been learning is to stop and examine my interpretation of the actual event.

Using the ABCs from Cognitive Behavioral Theory:

👉🏻 A — Activating Event
What actually happened?

👉🏻 B — Belief
What story did I tell myself about what happened?

👉🏻 C — Consequence
How did that belief affect my emotions, reactions, and behavior?

Sometimes the greatest battle isn’t the event itself… it’s the narrative we allowed to take root afterward.

God does not continually reopen debts He has already forgiven. He releases them. And if we want freedom, healing, and peace, we have to stop watering bitterness with constant rumination.

Mercy must become daily. Forgiveness must become daily. Renewing our minds must become daily. If you are struggling with something that has happened and you are struggling I pray you find healing in Jesus. 🛑 Use the ABC’s I listed above reevaluate before you let a root of bitterness take hold of you and cause you to allow sin in your heart.

I have had so many of y’all asking about my sweet friend, so I wanted to give an update. 💛

She has been at a short-term rehab facility continuing to work on gaining strength and relearning how to use her left side. I was so excited yesterday because she was able to open her hand all the way. It was slow and very intentional, but she did it! She can also now twist her wrist and arm some.

She still cannot lift her arm up and down yet, but she is making progress every single day.

She still does not have enough core control to sit unassisted, but she is working so hard to stand and transfer from place to place (wheelchair to bed, potty, chair, etc.) so she can eventually go home.

Please continue to pray for her, and thank you so much for all of your love, support, and prayers. They truly mean so much.

Love y’all 💕
