Hi, beautiful friends! I’m so excited to reveal my little secret experiment I’ve been conducting on ya’ll for the past few months (wink, wink…you knew I was a scientist!) I’ve had so much fun getting to know you on a much deeper, intimate, gritty (a good gritty…pretty gritty?) way through the videos I’ve posted over the past couple of months, and the responses, comments, emails, “me too’s”, and laughs I’ve heard from you have been the most incredible thing I’ve experienced this past year.

I might be selfish, but I WANT MORE! I’ve created a beautiful space, full of whitespace to rest your eyes, laughs to rest your mind, and hopefully words to rest your soul. Please know you and your precious heart, creative hands, and beautiful mind are welcomed and safe here. We’ll keep talking about feeling like a walking disaster, ruining our kids lives one handmade sweater at a time, pretty indie yarn, and my journey through my first completed year of successful therapy—and hopefully, your journey too.

I love writing, and connecting to other people through words and video, but the most amazing part of all of this is the REAL CONNECTION made when someone listens to or reads the words from my heart (or, sometimes, just how I’ve ruined my kid’s life that day), and say “ME TOO! I had no idea…”

Hopefully you’ll laugh (it can be at me, that’s totally chill here), maybe you’ll cry, and you’ll feel supported and seen and heard. I promise there will be beautiful yarn conversations, giveaways, and super-cute, minimalist-chic knit and crochet patterns (for free!) swimming around in here, too.

So whatever you come here for, I hope you’ll continue to join me. Because I truly enjoy and adore all of you. Let’s embrace the suck together, shall we?
