How are you kicking off the weekend?
While I wish mine was full of stitching like this, I’ll probably be doing lots of yard work. Our yard has gotten rather out of hand with some weed the size of dinner plates...so I’ll be pulling those out 🙈

I’m super thankful for every order that I get! No matter if it’s a giant order for retailers like this order for Longwood Gardens or orders of a single stick and stitch pattern pack. I pack everyone one of these orders and do a little happy dance each time!

Woodland Snail- New Advanced Embroidery Kit!
Yes, there’s another new advanced embroidery kit in town. Woodland Snail was inspired by a cluster of mushrooms that surround trees, I see while out walking my pups, Henley and Landen. While I haven’t actually seen any snails hanging out there, I like to imagine a whole Fern Gully-esque scene with this little snail friend.

JK! Just another day of me in the studio putting kits together.
All of my kits are packaged by hand, by me.
With all the wholesale orders I’ve been mailing out lately, I’ve been needing to restock tons of kits. Luckily for me that means I get to put on a good audiobook and power through a packaging session.
Right now I’m listening to Dead Money. It’s about a murder that happens in Silicon Valley. The FBI get involved, there’s tons of tech bros, investors, and so many layers and double crosses. It’s keeping me on my toes.

Under the Sea- New Advanced Embroidery Kit
One of the squares on my 2025 business bingo card is to ‘Create 3 new advanced embroidery kits’. With this new Under the Sea embroidery kit, I’m one third closer to crossing this square off. So give a nice big welcome to Under the Sea, a new advanced raised stitching embroidery kit that’s now part of the MCreativeJ collection!
Under the Sea was inspired by trips to Hawaii and snorkeling in clear waters. While it’s been a few years since I’ve been to the islands, I was reminded of these tropical adventures when I received a wedding invitation. Funnily enough, I’ve only ever been to the Hawaiian islands for weddings.
