I'm back!
My internet connection hasn't been the best thus last week, so I've been struggling to keep up with my content, but I was excited to make another collar yesterday and get back into the groove!
This is one of 4 that are heading out to soke of my friends here in Summit County.
Stay tuned to see the pups they end up matching up with!

Another day, another diamond pattern π
Still one of my favorites patterns I've learned π
At this last market, I realized some people thought I was selling a product made by someone else.
Nope! You're looking at the artist herself. I'm so proud of the skills I've learned and the things I've done to grow my little business.
I cannot wait to see what's in store for this business this year, and to keep showing the world that I can create beautiful pieces of art!
If you see other patterns you'd like me to try, make sure to tag me!
Follow along to see what's next!

One of this week's projects was a set of oar leashes to match my friends yellow and green boat!
I have just a few more diamond patterned collars to catch up on, and then I'll be able to start showing yall some other patterns I can make.
If you have any designs you'd like to see, feel free to tag me, and I'm happy to give them a go. With market season on my mind, I'll be looking to build up inventory every free chance I have!
Stay tuned to see this finished set!

#mightynash let me borrow him for a video last week on our weekly hike! Thanks Lori Lambert
For letting him hang with us!
My buddy Brandon came up with this idea for his pack of 4 pups after I gifted him some many years ago.
The original idea was to be able to attach 2 of these to a leash to be able to walk 2 dogs together.
He quickly found out they were just as easy to attach to the pups harnesses and keep them on at all times.
These have turned into a multi-purpose traffic handle of sorts.
They are great for:
β
οΈ off leash walks when you need an option to grab onto a leash quickly for a short period of time
β
οΈ walking 2 dogs together on one leash. As long as each pup has one, you're quickly able to attach one end to your pups collar and the other to your leash. While I am a bit bias to my leashes, these will work with most other leashes you may already own
β
οΈ an option to grab onto when you need to pass others on the trail who might not appreciate your pup running up to them
We think Nash did a great job helping us show this off! Make sure to say hi to him in the comments below, and to follow along for more adventures!

I bet you're all thinking I just hit reverse on this one, yeah?
Unfortunately, as I was finishing up, I noticed an error way back at the beginning of making this collar. It was staring at me and I couldn't complete it without redoing it.
Sure, I felt a little frustrated at first, but it also brought me a lot of reminders as I'm starting this new year.
This year, I go all in on myself! I am self-employed again full-time and took a big leap into the unknown.
I keep reminding myself, I've done this before, so what's stopping me from reaching success again on my own?
Today's the first day I've been really able to make collars again since hurting my shoulder. I am still healing, but I'm happy for these baby steps to get back to doing what I love!
It can be scary to take that leap, trust the process, and believe in yourself. Trust me, I've been there before and I'm here yet again!
At the end of the day, I'm most happy creating my employment book of life in my own creative ways. This week, I've restocked 2 stores and am finally getting back to work on collars as my shoulder allows. I even have another venture I've dove into, but I'm not quite ready to share that journey yet.
All in all, I just want to remind you that you aren't perfect. I'm not perfect. We will all make mistakes, but those mistakes are where we learn, where we find ourselves!
This year, I challenge you to go out and grow, make mistakes, learn from them, find trust in yourself and others, and have the best year yet! I am so grateful for all the support from my friends lately, especially those who keep reminding me that I CAN do this.
Cheers to a very colorful 2025, trusting myself and finding the good in everything again! β¨οΈ
