Behind the Scenes with our CEO Jess!
It’s been a busy start to the year at the office as we made room for two new social media team members (yay for fresh ideas and creativity!) and set up an exciting new conference/podcast space. It’s still under construction, but consider this your official sneak peek! With all the hustle and bustle, I’ll admit I haven’t been as active on our social media pages as I’d like. But I’m planning to change that! If you love behind-the-scenes glimpses of what we’re up to, let me know—I’d love to share more on Instagram and Facebook stories.
On the personal side, my family has been recovering from a round of sickness, but thankfully, we’re all healthy again. And with the unseasonably warm weather we had for a few days, we took full advantage—hiking at Horicon Marsh, jumping on the trampoline, and soaking up some much-needed fresh air.
Plus, we had something extra special to celebrate—my sweet niece turned ONE! If you didn’t know, my brother Jake (who’s also my business partner) handles all things finance, sources all of our amazing products, and oversees the website. My mom was able to visit them in Peru, so it was extra special for her to celebrate this milestone with family.
I’d love to hear what you’ve been up to! Let’s connect on Instagram & Facebook —tell me about your latest sewing projects, adventures, or just say hi!
Hope your year is off to a great start! Happy sewing! ✨💖" - Jess
