The Creativity Continues—Just in a Different Way

Good morning!

Lately, life has felt like a mix of starting over and slowing down at the same time.

I’m finally settled into my new home, and little by little, I’ve started making it feel like mine. Not perfect—just more me.

Right now, my bedroom has been my focus.

I added an accent wall with molding and wallpaper, painted the wall behind the bed black, and brought in a few mirrors and sconces to give it a more moody, calm feel. It’s still coming together (and yes… those drapes are temporary), but it already feels different.

More intentional. More peaceful.

And I think that’s what I’ve been craving lately—not just in my home, but in my life too.

Because if I’m being honest, behind all of this, I’ve been in a bit of a pause.

Not the kind where everything stops—but the kind where you start questioning what you’re doing and why.

This brand started as something I needed at the time.A distraction. A creative outlet. A way to feel like myself again after going through a season of grief and transition.

And for a while, it served that purpose.

But lately, I’ve felt a shift.

It’s not enough for me to just create anymore—I want it to mean something.

I don’t want to just post or sell or stay “relevant.”I want to build something that feels aligned with who I’m becoming.

And the truth is… I don’t fully have the answer yet.

So instead of forcing it, I’m choosing to sit in that space for a minute.

To focus on my home.

To focus on growing into the version of myself I feel called to become.

To let things unfold instead of trying to control every step.

The shop is still here. The products are still available.

But they’re no longer the center of everything.

This space is shifting into something more personal—more real.

A place where I can share life as it is now: motherhood, mental health, creating a home that feels good to live in, and figuring things out as I go.

And if you’re in a season where things feel uncertain too—where you’re rethinking things, slowing down, or trying to realign—you’re not alone in that.

I’m right there with you.

For now, I’ll keep working on my space, swapping out that terrible builder-grade light (seriously… it has to go), and trying to survive these unexpected hot flashes that I definitely owe some past apologies for.

Life looks a little different these days.

But I think that’s the point.

It’s still unfolding.
