I haven't had the catnip out in awhile, but let me tell you, as soon as I opened the bag, the girls appeared like apparitions in the night.

This is what happens when you're sewing and pause for just a second....

Happy spring! I'm excited for all the green that's starting to come up. Daffodils haven't bloomed yet, and only one crocus came up purple.

I swear these girls are part chicken. They love to curl up on the finished catnip toys. Bonus points if the box is too small.

Today's project: Bowl cozies. I'm working on cuttting the batting for our larger, serving bowl size. Once these are cut, they'll go to mom, who will sew them up.

From snow to spring...
We've had a few warm days, so now we have our first dandelions, and the daffodils are coming up.

“This all fits in with the Project 2025 goal of shrinking the nonpartisan federal workforce and replacing those employees with political supporters, the types of people who will bend the federal government to Trump’s will.” @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is right, and it should scare you. bit.ly/3WLLJdH
Project 2025 Is Here
Candidate Trump tried distancing himself from a right-wing blueprint that President Trump’s administration is already implementing.

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

A couple weeks ago, I had a friend reach out to me about a catastrophic cat vs gnome interaction, wherein the gnome did not win. While she ordered a new gnome to replace the fallen one, I offered to mend the gravely injured lil guy. Here he is, good as new.

Here's a little order we put together last night. A local customer reached out to me about ordering some bowl cozies, and mom hooked her up.

These are our personal-sized microwave-safe bowl cozies.

One positive about moving so often is that I get to play with paint colors and rearranging our framed artwork and photography.

The downside? Moving suuuucks.

This is our dining room, where I'm in the process of hanging stuff.

In 2021, we left CT to be closer to the hubby's family, splitting the shop between 2 states. Though we're doing fewer events, we're in some local gift shops and online.

2020 brought us a global pandemic, shutdown, virtual learning, mask making... we were all learning how to live in unprecedented times.

Our story:
Part 10
In February 2020, we held our first needle felting workshop, sparking interest and fueling a series of workshops that would last through the pandemic. We felted pumpkins, mushrooms, bunnies, and lots of gnomes.
