What's on the Agenda This Week?

This week, we are approaching our last craft show of 2025! It has been lots of fun but also overwhelming and exhausting. I'm so blessed that God gave me this business and brought shoppers my way so that I can continue to grow and hopefully one day, do this full time.

I just finished the Black Friday orders and those will be shipping out Monday morning. I will be working on some custom orders for Christmas gifts and exchanging a few items that were bought at one of my previous craft shows. 

To prep for my last craft show one week from today, I will making the famous Stars Hollow Where You Lead, I Will Follow embroidered crewnecks! These are a fan favorite, and I sold out at the biggest craft show of the year, Church of the Magdalen! The downside to making these, is that they take over an hour to machine embroider and sometimes my machine gets funky because there are small, intricate details, then the thread and bobbin get crazy. I'm still trying to figure out the tricks to my new machine but I love the ability to do bigger designs! 

I also want to have more pouches and book sleeve designs that are offered in the patchwork tote bags and wristlets. I think it's so fun to see other designs used for other items because you can then match them all!

Follow me on social media (FB, Instagram, TikTok) to prep for my last market.

Thanks, friends!
