Wanderers Workshop

Puzzles are officially LIVE on the website!! Head to wanderersworkshop.ca to check out the listing and purchase one for the little in your life ... before they’re gone!! (But don’t worry they’ll be back!) MASSIVE THANK YOU to everyone for being so wonderful and supportive, your excitement for the puzzles is keeping a smile on my face

The Newborn Foot and Handprint Sign is now listed on my website, offered in two sizes and with custom frame options. I made this sign for my close friends, in memory of their sweet daughter Layne. I knew as soon as I got the request that it would be something special, something I had to make available permanently on my website, and so it is. What a precious way to preserve a moment in time Swipe and zoom to see all details @ Frankford, Ontario

Change of plans!! I’ll be listing my Personalized name puzzles a WEEK EARLIER than my original plan! They will now be available this SUNDAY (Jan 24th @ 8PM). I will still be starting them the 1st of February, but releasing them a week earlier will give me some extra time to process orders and source all materials. I will add there will be a limited number available (as to keep me from getting overwhelmed) BUT even if you don’t get a spot in the first release, they will be a p...ermanent listing on my website, so there will be lots more opportunities! Base price for puzzles will be - $40 (for 5 letters and under) + $5 for each additional letter. 5 Letters - $40 6 Letters - $45 7 Letters - $50 8 Letters - $55 9+ Letters - $60 (Length size caps and letters get slightly smaller) Custom engraving on back of puzzle is an additional $10 (this includes any quote you’d like and/or a personalized handwritten note/signature) Through the website you’ll be able to select from local pick-up/delivery OR shipping at an addition cost. @ Frankford, Ontario

Sooo excited to (finally) announce I’ll be offering custom puzzles at the end of the month. Name puzzles have been one of the most request items, other than my signs, for the last few years. It took some trial and error, playing around with materials and my process but I now have a product I’m both proud of and can offer at a more affordable price! Still working out colour options, but I know for sure I’ll be offering optional custom engraving to the back of each piece (Can even be in your own handwriting) Hope you guys are just as excited as me Stay tuned for release date (trying to figure out which day of the week will work best) @ Frankford, Ontario

I always keep it real with you guys- What a season of life the end of 2020 was for me. I have to start by saying I’m so proud.. but not for the reasons you’d think, quite the opposite actually.. Nov/Dec specifically were a struggle, easily the most I’ve struggled as a biz owner since I started WW. Its a bunch of reasons.. somethings simply didn’t go as planned, I also made some mistakes (which I will always fix) I was wrong about timelines.. probably every single one, I dropp...ed the ball time & time again, I was unable to spare the time out of the day to keep active on here, let alone get pictures of 95% of the projects I completed, I failed to keep up with messages, and left people waiting too long for replies, I took on too much making myself busier than my body (or mind for that matter) had energy for. This is DEFINITELY not a season most would be proud of.. but here’s why I am. I didn’t let these ‘negatives’ affect my SELF-WORTH & this is new for me. When I started WW my self-worth wasn’t there, & even good feedback only helped briefly. It’s a tricky thing as a ‘maker’ separating your value from your works value, if thats even the right thing to do. Ive worked on this for years and my growth really showed the last couples months. I prioritized finding balance.. although it’s far from perfect I listened to my body when it had had enough (I think the little bean in my belly helped me see the importance in that) and when I wasn’t working, I actually wasn’t working. Yes, there’s likely a few exceptions to that (like when trying to sleep) but I was able to actually be present with my partner, my family/ friends & myself without letting the stress of everything get to me. Lastly I’m proud because I’m choosing not to see Nov/Dec as a failure. Of course I’m not taking it lightly, and it’s not how I want to run a business but I won’t call it a failure because I’m choosing to use every bit of it for learning & growth. PLUS I launched my website & I made a record breaking number of custom art pieces & ornaments which of course I’m always so proud of! Lots of changes are around the corner for both WW & me.. as always I’ll be learning, growing & occasionally sharing along the way. Thanks for being here and supporting this little dream See more
