Gimme 5 extra minutes of down time + I'll find a way to fill it....
My therapist mostly thinks I'm slightly insane.
She could be right.
I'm the queen of staying out of my own head. Whether it's clients, new project, travel, over the top homesteading (not the biggest fan of the word, homesteading) but it encompasses a lot. I find ways to stay insanely busy a lot of the time.
I know its been a hot minute since I've been here...
Busy. Lol.
Doing all the things.
A story for another day. I spent most of 2025 into 2026, sick. I spent a vast majority of 2026 trying to regain my health.
One of things my nutritionist + doctor told me was to eat with my gut health in mind. I'd spent almost a year on antibiotics just trying to stay alive + it did significant damage to my digestive system.
So began a new way of eating....
Sourdough
Yogurt
Fermentation
Preserving
Much of which I already did except the sourdough....
And so it began the love, hate relationship with sourdough. I made my own starter. Trial + error + frustration + perseverance.
Matilda finally came to life.
Then her off spring, Pippi.
And a year later I'm pretty addicted to experimenting with the process of bread making + all the interesting in-betweens.
I started doing farmer's markets because there's only so much you can eat.
And my newest project...
A quaint, little nook at the end of the driveway to begin selling some of my creations.
Sourdough
Dried Ramps
Homemade jellies
Foraged foods
Blind date with a book gifts
Beaded jewelry
Veggies
Salsa
Chutneys
Apple sauce
Apple butter
Concord grape 🍇 jelly
And well, whatever my adhd brain can come up with...
It's been a slow process of healing, creating + crafting my way to healthier again.
I'm definitely not 100% there. But definitely better than where I was a year ago...
I don't have a name for this nook. I'm not sure most days what the hell I'm doing. But for now, I'm just following my heart nudges + seeing where they lead me.
So yes, I'm opening up my nook. Even though I'm not 100% ready because waiting to be 100% is just a form of procrastination....
After being sick for so long, I refuse to wait for perfect readiness...
So, I'm opening imperfectly.
No name.
No business page yet.
No schedule.
No plan.
Just a whole lot of hard work to heal both physically + mentally. Because sickness also causes deep emotional trauma + baking + gardening has helped me immensely work through that trauma.
I'll be posting a smidgen here + on my personal page updates on products, days + times etc.
I appreciate everyone who has been in my corner as I delt with my health issues.
I'm grateful for my community.
Thank you 😊
