Something new…

I’ve gotten a lot done in the past 24 hours! This will just be a quick recap, as it’s getting late and the other half is getting tired, lol.

For the story behind the new blog, click here.

The custom order Stormfly is finished and shipped!

I’m happy with how he turned out. I didn’t put any wire in him, for safer play. I just love his face! Not too shabby for my first time really attempting to embroider eyes.

I finished a surprise gift for a friend that I’ll post about as soon as it’s been received. I could have just driven it the 15 minutes over, but how exciting is it to get unexpected packages in the mail from friends?! I hope it brings as much joy in the getting as it’s brought in the giving.

One of my favorite things… It was shipping day at the Stitchery! I love love love sending my creations off to their forever homes! (We’ll just ignore the fact that for the first hour or two after shipping, there’s lots of “ah, geez… I hope they like it. I hope it’s good enough…” The joys of being an artist, am I right?)

Once I get past that first few hours though, I get so much joy out of knowing that something that I had a blast making is going out into the world to bring someone else a little slice of happy.

I had to put my pretty Mosaic Granny into the “someday” W.i.P pile since I ran out of the yarn for the moment. It’s really coming along beautifully, though! My three favorite colors together!

So there’s today’s update! I’ve got lots and lots and LOTS more to tell y’all, but let’s not write an entire 9-book series on our first day, hmm? More to come soon; watch this space!

Much love, peace, and yarn;

The Blog’s Story

Hi there! 💜

If you don’t know me already, my name is Jehn and I’m the Owner and Lead Fiber Artist of a little crochet shop named Stardream Stitchery. (You can read the story behind the shop here.) I recently passed my one year shop-iversary (whoo!) and I decided that I wanted to keep a “journal”of my projects. I like the idea of being able to go back and look at my thoughts and ideas.

I also like the thought of sharing it with all of you, so you can get a behind-the-scenes view of my creations! A lot of love and care go into each and every item that I make. And sometimes the in-process photos are absolutely hilarious, too fun not to share!

I have a hook and yarn in my hands almost every day, and I’m excited to start documenting the experience! If you’d like to join me on the journey, you can subscribe via email below, just click the follow button!

Much love, peace, and yarn;

• I met my husband when I was 15, but we didn’t start dating until I was 28.
• Yarn is my happy place!
