a late small business saturday post ✨

my “short break until fall” turned into an indefinite one, so i’m looking to clear out my inventory just in time for the holidays! plenty of great gifts for your loved ones and stocking stuffers galore 🤗

i’m hoping to return to business ops in the future but until then, thank you for all of the support & love 🤍

new tie back summer top that can be worn two ways 🤭🥵 i love the petal-like edge on this one!! in between custom orders i try to do something quick & mostly mindless, usually coming up with something i love with no idea how to recreate it lol. but creating freely is my favorite part of all of it. 🤍

thank you to everyone who came to see me at summer fest yesterday! it was so much fun & great to meet so many people, plus some super talent local artists & business owners 🤗 it was truly an incredible event & i can’t wait for next year!

we faced some challenges (packing mistakes, on & off rain, cranky 5am me) but it turned out to be the best rainy sunday i’ve had in awhile and a successful syd’s stitches day. huge shoutout to the superhero i married for driving across NJ 4x total yesterday to support me & avert my crises 😇 where would we be without our support systems?! i’d be a mess, that’s for sure.

riding the high of yesterday i’m now on the search for another summer market, stay tuned 👀☀️ dm me if you are interested in any of the featured products!

i’ll be honest, i almost don’t want to sell these two. i’ll just have to make some for myself 🤗 both the off the shoulder mesh sweater & my sea isle crop will be available at sunday’s point pleasant summer fest!

if you can’t make it but need one of these (or anything else 👀) for your summer wardrobe, click the link in my bio to submit a custom order google form! anything left after the event will be up on my etsy for sale soon 🛒

unrelated, can we just talk about the differences in the natural lighting?! these two photos were taken two minutes apart! mother nature is an unpredictable artist ☀️🌈

hi 👋🏻 it’s me again!

life has been keeping me occupied away from social media, but it sure hasn’t kept me from market prepping! honest, uncurated scenes from a side hustle small business displayed here ✨

it’s not glamorous or easy, its a lot of forcing motivation when i can find time, late nights, and saying no to people i love to make sure i can show up as my best to markets. truthfully i don’t know how people can do it every weekend! ya girl is tired 💤 but i’m so excited to show off what i’ve been working on & my new booth layout. she’s gonna be gorgeous! if you don’t believe me, notice how much supervision Milo is giving. he loves the direction we’re headed. 🐈

come see me saturday june 7th at point pleasant summer fest!! i’ll have plenty of items perfect for a jersey shore summer 🌊☀️

year 1: done ✔️

apparently i missed the memo, but i’ve officially been in business for a year this april! learning all that goes into running a business - whether there is a whopping two sales or twenty, has been an incredible experience! so much goes into every detail and you truly become a jack of all trades. still working on that darn social media though 😅🫣 it’s been humbling to say the least but boyyy am i having fun :’)

there have been so many special moments over the past year that i’ve gotten to celebrate with a hook in hand and a gradual evolution of the things that bring me joy 🫶🏻

thank you to my people for supporting me on this ride i couldn’t do it without you 🤍 looking forward to what syd’s stitches year 2 has in store!

it’s friends! just *some* of what’s going on over here 😅

when it comes to projects, i struggle with the “eyes bigger than my stomach” situation. so many pattern ideas, so many purchased patterns i want to try, some custom orders and of course wanting to prep for markets! right now it’s a combination of all of the above 🫣 plus i always need a mindless project. how many things can one person possibly work on at once?!?! i refuse to give out the actual number

sadly i’ve got a little bit of carpal tunnel right now, so it’s a struggle to wrap anything up! hoping to start cranking some of these out but until then, the wip pile stays large 😂. if you have any suggestions for how to limit wrist pain please share!

how many wips do my fellow crafters have on average?? i’d love to be a one project gal but i am simply ~incapable~

featured:
- a 75% complete syd’s stitches original 👀
- my beloved freehand sweater that WILL be finished for opening day. mark my words!!
- scrunchies for market prep
- my 95% complete cloud cardigan by 😭 so close to done !

happy valentine’s day! obsessed with my bow made using ’s paid crochet bow pattern!

i attached an alligator clip to make it the perfect hair accessory for every day, or special pink occasions of course ☺️💗

my finished product is a little wonky, but what isn’t the first time you try?! it’s so cute and girly i want to make 500 more! thinking i might try some with a hair elastic too 👀 would you be interested in a clip or hair tie?! vote in the poll below!

final product seems to be Milo approved 🎀✨🐈
