For many years I dreamt of creating tools to help women heal, connect and nourish themselves. It’s been slow going as I’ve continued along with my own personal healing journey, but we’re getting there, and I’ve been starting to finalize some of the creations that have nearly been bursting at the seams all this time. Putting them in the shop, seeing them become real-life, in-the-physical tools for women to enjoy, watching them go from idea in my journal to available, well, that feels pretty good! In the shop there are slow-stitch patterns with original, encouraging sayings and a growing collection of unique printables to support your journey. ♡

These inspirational patterns began as my word of the year at the start of 2022. I knew my word “thrive” was big enough that it was going to require lots and lots of reminders. Slow stitching these reminders has become such a nourishing practice.

Also in the shop, a growing collection of unique printable planner pages, habit trackers, coloring pages and bookmarks. I see coloring as an attention practice and more and more consider it a valuable addition to my practices, in fact, I’m finding it to be a tool that allows me to STICK WITH my practices more consistently.

This monthly calendar has been a labor of love, for sure. I’ve wanted to create this for years and knew exactly how I wanted it to be, and it came out perfectly. Twelve whole months of coloring-in calendar pages, complete with holidays and moon cycle phases. I have been thoroughly enjoying turning to a new page as I color my way into each new month!

This daisy chain tracker was the first printable I created. It includes a 21 day and a 30 day daisy chain​​​​​​​​. This was inspired by Jerry Seinfeld’s method for consistently sticking with his writing. Whenever he met his goal for the day, he wrote a big red X on a large calendar, and as the days went by, he watched the chain of red X’s form, encouraging him to continue. He said that once the chain begins to form, our only job is to not break the chain.​​​​​​​​ I created this prettier-than-red-X’s version of a practice tracker. Coloring in a daisy each time I show up for my practice is a small reward I look forward to, and once I see three to five colored-in daisies in a row, I am not nearly as willing to compromise on the new habit I am creating!​​​​​​​​
