!!!!!!!!!I'M OPEN FOR BUSINESS AGAIN!!!!!!!

Hello out there, is everyone still here? LOL. I took a couple months to move, unpack, set up the new shop in my garage and play a little. Now I'm ready to go again!

I have been designing in the background and have lots of new things coming in the works, but let's start with my newest favorite porch hanger to say hello again.

IT'S A SALE! The website it open again. And I've put an automatic 15% off all kits through June 15. Plenty of time to stroll through the kits and grab something to do! Make sure you explore the different collections of kits and stay tuned for more additions posted here, live tutorials and videos and some fun things to come!

Note, I'll be collection taxes in Idaho AND Virginia it seems for the rest of this year based on their criteria. That may change for Virginia next year. Just a heads up when you check out.

This is not a normal garage sale, please don't come creeping at 7am - I'll be sleeping (hopefully)! Grab a friend and a coffee, then stroll in on time. I'll see you there.

I've got samples, supplies and kits. I won't be holding anything. Only Barbara Joy gets a presale now.

YOU GUYS ! If you didn't see my move post - I'M MOVING TO IDAHO! (go check that post out). PLEASE READ ALL THIS POST AND REPLY.

Okay, the move, packing, everything has moved a little fast and I wasn't sure if I could actually do this, but I have had some people reach out - and honestly? I don't want to move all the kits I have made up. so ... I'M HAVING A CRAFTY GARAGE SALE!

I'll be doing this the weekend of Feb 28/March 1 - my last weekend here if plans go well with my Idaho house inspection. Stay tuned for more details to come but SAVE THE DATES! I'll plan to probably make many hours available. I'm in Virginia Beach near the Prime Outlets and IKEA so you could make a fun day of it if you aren't close.

Here is what I need to know. I have kits, supplies, lots of items I'll be offering at VERY REDUCED, HELP ME NOT HAVE TO PACK IT pricing. What I need to know is this - are you interested in my samples that I make? These are the finished items that I make of everything I design. Not everything is finished on the back, but you'd be able to see that in the sale. I'd love to offer those as well if people are interested. Please comment interest to help me know if it is worth pulling those together for sale. I'm thinking individual and bundle offerings.

Also, if you aren't local, are you interested in me offering bundles of my samples to ship? Themed boxes? I would share on Facebook and invoice directly if so. Let me know if you want shipping if you aren't local. I'm not sure I'm up for this level but I'm considering it. PS I'm not shipping local.

Big news and 💫 I'M MOVING TO IDAHO!!!

You guys may have noticed me getting a little quiet, I've been getting ready for a move. It's time for me to actually pause craft kit orders while I pack up my studio and handle the behind-the-scenes business details.

This is just a pause, not a goodbye. I’m so excited for this next chapter — especially getting to be closer to my amazing Aunt (who you’ve seen pop up here before 💛).

The website will be temporarily paused for craft kit orders while I move, but I’ll be back better than ever once I’m settled. Stay tuned for posts that keep you in the loop on the move now that I have announced it is happening. I hope to be back up and running in about a month.

If you’re part of a subscription, please check your most recent subscription email — I included details there about what to expect.

Thank you for being here, for cheering me on, and for your patience. I can’t wait to come back and create again ✨
