Just dropping by to share some smiles 😄

Been a bit quiet around here as we settle into our new house, travel to visit family and friends, and soak up as much baby as possible. I’ve also been leaning into embroidery for fun again and making things for Nora and some her new friends 🐣

My DMs are still open if you want to inquire about anything! I’d love to make some of these sweaters for fall & football season 🍁🏈
