Embracing a New Chapter (and Taking a Pause)!

Hey everyone!

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve welcomed a little one into the world! This is such a magical time, and I’m truly committed to cherishing her entire first year.

To fully immerse myself in this precious experience, my Etsy shop is currently closed until further notice. I’m stepping away from orders for a bit.

You’ll also see that new blog posts will be delayed. I’ll be taking a much-needed break from regular content creation.

Thank you for your patience and all your amazing support. I’ll definitely be back, and I look forward to sharing more with you when I reopen the shop and resume blogging!

My Etsy Shop Featured in collectSPACE Article as an Alternative for SpaceX Crew-10’s Zero-G Indicator

Exciting news! My Etsy shop was recently mentioned in a collectSPACE article about the SpaceX Crew-10 mission and its unique zero-gravity indicator—a hand-crocheted origami crane named “Droog.” 🕊️

To clarify, I did not create Droog, the crane that flew with the astronauts. However, the article included my Etsy shop as an alternative for anyone interested in purchasing a similar hand-crocheted origami crane. Seeing my work listed in connection to such a historic mission is a huge honor!

The crew’s choice of an origami crane as their zero-g indicator is especially meaningful—it’s a universal symbol of peace, hope, and perseverance. I love that something as delicate as a crane played a small but special role in the mission, helping the astronauts confirm when they reached microgravity.

Meet Ted: The Carolina Chickadee Who Brightens My Day

Let me introduce you to Ted, the Carolina Chickadee who’s become a daily joy in my backyard. Picture this: a tiny bird with a striking black cap and a personality that’s as lively as his chirps.

Ted’s not just cute; he’s a real chatterbox, filling the air with his cheerful calls. He loves sunflower seeds and ensures I know when his feeder needs refilling. 🌻 This feeder catches all his dropped seeds, minimizing mess and making maintenance easy. If you want to grab a bird feeder of your own, click here for the one I bought!

Ted also uses the heavy-duty, adjustable pole as a watchtower to prevent other birds from visiting the feeder. It’s stable and versatile, allowing me to hang two feeders or planters in my backyard. This setup has quickly become my favorite part of the outdoor scene. 🌷 Check out the pole here! The only problem with this setup was ants, but I solved it by purchasing an ant moat. You can tackle this problem too by clicking here to get rid of the ants!

And here’s the best part: Ted’s not alone. He often brings his feathered friends along for a feast, turning my backyard into a lively gathering spot.

Sure, Ted makes a bit of a mess with seed husks scattered around, but watching him crack open those seeds is pure entertainment. His visits are a gentle nudge to slow down and appreciate the little things in nature.

Ted has truly become a part of my daily routine, a reminder of the simple joys found right outside my window. Stay tuned, because I have a feeling there will be more stories to share about Ted and his adventures in the future. 😊
