Happy Holiday's, y'all! ๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿปโ„๏ธ๐ŸŽ

Hey there sewing bestie โ€“

It's the holiday season!

This holiday season has already been jam packed with so much insanity it has my head spinning already! I've traveled to Long Beach, CA for a conference, we spent a week in Arkansas for family, and I have plans of spending some quality craft time with my grandparents before my break is over. As we move through this busy season of giving, spending time with family and friends, the parties and food, I hope you can find a little moment to sit behind your sewing machine with the crackle of a fire (or the livestream fireplace from YouTube) and your favorite holiday drink and reflect on the year. Or just hide from everyone in the house for some peace and quiet ๐Ÿ‘€๐Ÿชก I know I will 100% be doing both...

Just in case you need a little project to side track yourself with, I've linked my most recent Janome project for y'all! I've already seen it floating around a few of my sewing groups and everyone's projects look so good!

Speaking of reflecting, I just wanted to say how thankful I am for the happenings on 2024 that all of you were a part of. From my first national conference class with SewExpo, celebrating with me when I was accepted to grad school, sold out local workshops, and sticking around as I've learned how to manage this next stage of my life. You all have truly made this year extra special. So, thank you ๐ŸฅนY'all have made this year a one for the books. Even when it got so busy I couldn't share as much content with y'all, you were so encouraging and supportive.

As always, if you ever have questions, please don't hesitate to email me, send me a DM, or reach out! (Or you can send a messenger otter! ๐Ÿ’Œ๐Ÿฆฆ)
