The Color Horoscope Series I’m not much of a horoscope or what’s your sign girly but that isn’t because I don’t want to be. I just never knew where to start or where to go to learn. I was on a work call, and someone asked another person on the call what their sign was…

One Of My New Love Languages—Feedback
When most people think of love languages they think of acts of service or physical touch. Before this blog I would have said quality time. Giving me undivided attention with conversation and some board games or a movie after cooking dinner together. Although I still want all that, I’ve found a new appreciation for a…
Color Crush Series PINK
I love all colors. Just one color can tell a story. Imagine a dark green accent wall in a stark white living room. It screams moody, edgy, and cozy in all the white. It creates character amongst the boring. Yesterday, I was watching a TikTok of a small makeup business and someone asked why they…
Confessions of a Creative Perfectionist
A big part of why I walked away from creating was me. Simply put it was just me. I couldn’t get out of my own way. I couldn’t stop over thinking everything I did. A part of finding some success came pride but also doubt. Instead of just creating and playing with new ideas, everything…
My Fiber Glow Up

It’s a form of peace to my adhd brain. I can fully focus on the texture and somehow it calms my brain from all the noise. Side…

For me, fall sparks the creativity in me and Halloween marks the start of it all. There’s something electric in the air. Pumpkin patches, fall decor, vintage scary posters, crisp fall leaf walks, late night candlelight dinners with wine and cute warm weather clothes. Halloween…
Playfulness Is My New Superpower
For the entirety of my creative endeavors, I chased perfection. I edited and over-thought everything until the pictures were pristine, stitched in perfect lines, and everything was curated like I was sending it off to a museum. Naturally after years of that I lost the spark along with the glitter, the giggles, and the joy. For me creating was my…
A Pause, A Pandemic, A Palette Reborn
In 2019, I walked away from the creative world—not with a dramatic slam of the door, but with a quiet, aching pause. It didn’t feel like burnout. It wasn’t a failure. It was something more….something like a slow unraveling of joy. Back then, my art felt more like a performance than an outlet. Every stitch, every brushstroke, every weave, every pixel was weighed down by a heaviness of expectation—mine,…
