Thank you so much!

Thank you!! I think in this case it was less brave and more had no idea it would be more difficult than thread, LOL.

Goodness this is adorable

If you’ve ever looked at a handmade piece and thought, “That looks peaceful,” this episode is your reminder: creative chaos counts as crafting too. ✨
What DIY have you tried because it “looked easy” only to find out….not so much?

The project taught me that “shirring” (those cute stretchy seams you see on dresses) is deceptively difficult.
Let’s just say my sewing machine and I had some tension issues… literally and emotionally. 😅 (Did you know crying is a rite of passage for shirring? I sure didn’t!)

The next time you feel like social media is inescapable, think about that 34.3%.

I know I will be.

Sometimes it feels like EVERYONE is on social media.

But that's patently untrue.

About 1/3 of people are not.

They can't ALL be children. (Especially with how many children have social media).

I love this thanks for sharing.

If that resonates, I hope you’ll stick around.
Let’s build a quieter corner of the internet together.

What phrase brings you peace when the world is loud?

That koan kept circling my mind during a road trip for my 10th anniversary with my husband.

I don’t want to add to the firehose.
I want to be a brook in a meadow.
A place to breathe.

This fall, I’m letting silence speak more often.
Building something alive with meaning.

Curious—what’s one little swap you’ve made that helps you scroll less? Or if you haven’t yet, what would you try?

I’ll be honest: it didn’t happen all at once. My hands were used to grabbing my phone,. But each time I chose creating over scrolling, it gets a little easier. Now my days feel calmer and more intentional.

Urban fantasy doesn’t have to stay urban.
Sometimes the strangest magic shows up in the woods behind your house. 🌌

Would you believe in Bigfoot if she turned up in your hometown?

Tova’s world has always been rooted in paranormal Boston. 🌆
But the sequel expands into central Massachusetts, where forests, backroads, and small towns hide their own supernatural secrets. 🌲👀

Bigfoot is just the beginning…

Aw poor spruce. At least it hung in there for you!

Thank you!

Nitrous is a great option for those who can have it! (It’s contraindicated for me personally.)
