HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳🎉 Another NYE, another 💙⭕️ I have yet to make it to (😭)… but I did get to see the Hot Dog at Big C in ‘99 🌭 sharing a few old pics from that show {the last one isn’t mine, credit: Great Northeast Productions} I’ve been working on this “Meatstick” patch design for awhile - happy to finally have made it in time for the NYE celebrations! I’ll add this one to my Etsy shop when I re-open on Friday 🤗 Wishing y’all a very happy, healthy and abundant 2026 😘❤️

I’m about to start my 60th book of the year… I enter a lot of book giveaways on Goodreads every year and I finally won (& it’s a signed first-edition hardback) 🤓🎉 This year has been the best year to escape into books (instead of doom-scrolling and losing total faith in humanity). Keep flipping thru the pics to check out some of my faves from the year 📚 This beautiful iron-on patch is one of my many new designs I’ve been working on and will add it to my shop when I re-open next week 🤗 I’m working on next year’s book challenge - what would y’all recommend I add to the list? 📖💖

Wishing y’all a very Happy Holiday season 🎄🎉💖 I shut my Etsy shop down a little early this year - I just about sold out of everything & still have lots of local orders to finish up. I will re-open shop in early January. I have quite a few new patch designs to share with y’all next year, along with other fun embroidered goodies 🤗 My little biz is booming and we’re in the process of building a out back & I am SEW EXCITED 🥳 A new 3-head (20 needle-per-head) industrial embroidery machine is included in the studio expansion!!! I’ll keep y’all posted on the progress 🪡🧵✂️ About this patch… this is my book inspired patch ( ) - I meant to post/share on Thanksgiving, but I’ve been super busy & doing my best to distance myself myself from SM (aka “Weapons of Mass Distraction”)… trying to stay focused on family, work and crafty fun. The new studio space and machine will allow me to increase my production and turn-around time… this will hopefully allow me to have more time to make fun creative content & start sewing clothes again 🙌

Tune in today at 2pm 🤗💙⭕️💙🌟

Yay, catching up with Amy vs. Fabric. She's the official sponsor of Pool House Rocks and has been my official seamstress at the Rhombus Connection, for years. Picked a great mash up of tunes that are heavy hitters, for both Russell Snyder and Amy. So join us 2pm est, in anticipation of summer by the pool.

Something’s missing… got a blank space where my embroidery machine should be 😫 it’s OK, ol’ “Dirty Gertie” is in good hands - she needed a little maintenance and will be up and running like new soon 🤗 it’s been a rough 2 weeks without her and my inventory is running low, but I’ll have my shop re-stocked, orders filled and NEW goodies headed your way very soon 🙌💞

Small Business Saturday happens to land on my Birthday this year 🥳 My only Birthday wish is for y’all to shop small, shop local and support Appalachian artists this Holiday season! Sorry, no sale in my Etsy shop today… I’m focused on raising money to help our community. I designed a new fundraising sticker (& patch) - portions of proceeds will be donated to the ~ a local non-profit helping those hit hardest by the destruction of Hurricane Helene in our region 🥰
