To all my clients and followers, thank you for sticking around! I've truly missed you!
While I was gone much, much longer than I had ever anticipated, I'm so unbelievably thankful that I listened to my body. That I got to slow down and not rush through all these moments with my children. That I had my husband's full support. Over the last year and a half, I got to do a lot of self reflection, with an equal balance of (gentle) nudging from him to pick up a paint brush. To get back to the thing that brought me so much peace. To find myself again.
With my first child, I was unaware. I didn’t know to slow down and savor it. The years slipped by without my permission. You quickly learn the sayings are true, time is a thief, and babies don't keep. My little blanket-clad, 8lb 10oz bundle of softness is now a construction truck and tractor loving, climbing everything in sight, little boy. The new baby smell has been replaced by the smell of whatever food he's decided to rub into his hair at each meal. While all of his firsts filled me with excitement and praise, it also filled me with a bit of sadness knowing these would be my last firsts with my last baby. I'll forever be grateful I was truly present for all of them.
Life has started to slow down a bit more over here. Well, slow down as much as they can with a toddler on the loose, that is. And I thought, what better time than now to dive back in and get my toes (...paintbrush) wet? Over the last few months, I've had the pleasure of working on a custom buffet and a few other pieces I'll have for sale very soon. I can't wait to share them with you!
If you made it this far, thank you so very much! I am forever grateful for you. And I can't wait to show you what's in store.
With love,
Hailey
