Spring is in the air and this watercolour line sketch hoop has me getting in the mood for some spring cleaning. We already tackled a bunch of outdoor tasks this weekend, and can’t wait to spend evenings sitting in our screened in porch listening to the frogs and the birds sing us their lullabies in the coming days. What’s one of your favourite things about spring?

Pretty mail is the best kind of mail. I am obsessed with packing orders. I love personalizing each and every envelope, box and packet that heads out my door with a calligraphed name, some foliage detailing and a healthy dose of pink. How happy would you be to see a package like this delivered to your house? ... #nicegirlsneedleclub #makersnorth #etsyembroidery #embroiderersofinstagram #canadiancreatives #handmadecanada #etsycanada #etsymadeincanada #canadianetsyshop #embroideryart #embroideredart #embroideryhoopart #handembroidery #embroiderynewbie #introvertlife #lovelocalio #homebody #dmcembroidery #modernembroidery #babessupportingbabes #etsyca #northernontariomaker #ontariomade #ontariomakers #womenwithadhd #adhdentrepreneurs #carnivorewomen #fwsh

Its been over a month now, since I first shared publicly that I believe I have undiagnosed ADHD. I'm still waiting to even hear back from the psychiatrist about an expected timeline for my ADHD assessment. In the meantime, I'm tying to look for silver linings, manage my symptoms holistically and make jokes about how my brain keeps life interesting. I have noticed that taking omega3's, limiting carbs through the carnivore way of eating, talking with a therapist and going for w...alks after work has helped me manage my symptoms. However, I still think it is important that I follow through with this assessment to find out conclusively whether my suspicions are correct, and I'm not opposed to the idea of at least trying medication, to see if it will benefit me personally. Thank you all for being so encouraging and checking in with me. I'll be sure to keep you all updated on the process! And if you have any questions about ADHD or the process of getting a diagnosis I'd be happy to share what knowledge I have on the subject! See more

Spring is just around the corner, and although we're still covered in a few feet of snow, I'm channeling spring vibes via this pretty floss bouquet. I know its not the most traditionally spring palette, but warm tones and dried florals are having a moment and my floss choices are reflecting those. How do you feel about the dried florals trend? Love it or leave it?

What’s your party trick? Mine is that I can spot a four leaf clover just about anywhere. I stand a tall 5’10, and I can spot a clover while walking - not stopping and searching - although I do that too, at times.... I find so many clovers, that I have a whole highlight dedicated to that very thing, and I have a whole collection of unique hoops, all designed after clovers I’ve found in real life and documented in my stories! I’ll be opening orders for two clover hoops in the near future - once I get caught up on bathtub hoop orders. So keep your eyes peeled! This hoop is one from the archives to go along with #marchmeetthemaker’s prompt for today. I can’t wait for spring to actually arrive so I can start looking for clovers again! Now, tell me in the comments what your party trick is! Ps. Swipe to see the AMAZING cookie recreation of my original clover hoop done by @lindsey.ruel
