The first thing I’m doing in 2024 is taking a pause for the cause🧡 Looking back on my journey, I am continually inspired by the path I pursue, calling the shots as I see fit and growing this “business” aka COMMUNITY of friends - and then friends of friends - now strangers turned clients and everyone in between! While I have never been here for the real “business” strategy side of things, I really do appreciate having a creative outlet that doesn’t just deplete me, and is more of an energetic exchange♻️

I just checked my archived posts & realized I have only ever “closed” once, and not since June of 2022, which means since I started resin work in 2020, I have perpetually taken on project after beautiful project, request after blesséd request, but this year, my craft is calling for a step back and a rejuvenation of my “why”🧘🏽♀️ When I started Pocket of Sunshine in 2018, it was out of a desire to make things that I liked, stuff I wanted to make because I was drawn to shift shapes and materialize ideas, creating for arts sake - not necessarily to please💟 In 2024, I want to check off more projects from my own personal passion list - there are so many things I want to do, so many materials I want to work with that have been hanging around WAITING FOR MEEE to experiment with, and TONS of inspo in my note app that I’d like to bring to life in my very own way! But, in order to do that, I need to step away from the floral preservation requests - at least until all my open requests have been finished up and closed - and I can hopefully reclaim some of that time for tapping back into my personal groooove🌞 It’s difficult for me to say no to you all, because I love what I do and I love making things for people who truly treasure the time, effort, energy and intention I put into what I make, but the natural ebb and flow is nudging me back out to sea for a while… and I welcome the wave🌊🩵 PS - if you have an open request with me, this means sunshine coming soooon because y’all are now tip top priority!!! If you’ve already booked ahead, I can’t wait to work with you still🥰 Otherwise, thanks for being here, playing along, & you’ll DEF be seeing mee🫶🏽
