Welcome, lovely stitchers!
I make art that helps me heal by touching on themes that are important to me (such as mental health and pitbulls) while exploring the joy of color, texture, and the mindful act of creation. I share my art with others in the hopes of inspiring people, making them feel seen, and sparking an interest in creative self expression. Art is healing, and I am trying to heal; I strive to live authentically and to be proof that people like me exist in the world. As such, I am a human first and a business second. 👋😁
I have always been a deep thinker with big emotions. I pursued a career in software engineering because STEM subjects appeal to the logical, intellectual part of me. However, the creative, emotional, expressive part of me was not satisfied in big tech. 😢The first time I burned out due to stress and deteriorating mental health, I realized it was an opportunity to try something new, so I taught myself how to cross stitch! 🪡I started designing patterns too because I was inspired by the pure, beautiful love of my rescue pup Cinder; I wanted to create and stitch things that help me access that same unbridled joy. 💗 I love teaching people how to stitch, both as a craft and as a form of mindfulness, plus my patterns capture my joy so others can replicate it for themselves. It is magical to have a purpose in life that isn’t soul sucking, heals my heart, and reconnects me with my inner child who was largely lost to trauma. 🥹💓 I now understand that the fulfillment I get from art is a core component of my life worth living. My plan for the future is to let my creativity flow and see what happens. 🤷♀️
Thanks for reading! I'm glad you're here! 🥰
