Dear Reader
Summer heat is no joke... even my iced tea has given up.
My chocolate stash looks like abstract art, and my work table? Three half-finished drawings, yesterday's dirty brushes, and that needle threader I've been hunting for two weeks. (Seriously, if you find it, call me.)
Also present: one mug of homemade iced latte from... yesterday maybe? and absolutely zero guilt about any of it.
Because July taught me this: sometimes the most productive thing you can do is slow the hell down.
Not because you have to, but because you finally have those precious moments when your schedule exhales and whispers, "Holy foxglove, I'm actually empty. And I love it."
Taking my own medicine: I trashed every business tip I know and declared July a NO new pattern month.
That's not laziness—it's intentional mercy.
Summer should taste like possibility, not obligation.
While others frantically create content to prove their worth, I'm offering you something subversive: permission to slow down without shame.
Those half-done projects sitting patiently in your creative pile?
They're not evidence of inadequacy—they're seeds waiting for their moment. They'll emerge when you're ready, not when the productivity police demand it.
Speaking of perfect timing... Our Summer Bundle feels like having a sommelier introduce the most exquisite wine pairing, except instead of fish and local greens:
- it's yarrow, oleander, and foxglove patterns with two ridiculously helpful PDFs for $47 (instead of $54).
- You'll discover why your ex's T-shirt makes the perfect embroidery canvas and how to turn an old sponge into your most effective cloud brush.
- Plus—because we all need ammunition—37 ways to politely decline your mother-in-law's fifth barbecue invitation without becoming the family villain.
These botanical rebels celebrate your right to create at your own pace.
Whether you're stitching with sharp needles while sharing sharp truths with your ride-or-die, or painting outlines with kids who think rules are suggestions—these patterns adapt to your season.
Grab your bundle HERE and let this summer be about creative breathing room, not performance anxiety.
P.S. I won't insult your intelligence with fake urgency emails. You're too bright for that nonsense. You have 8 days left to grab The Mix & Mess Collection https://wovenarcana.art/b/summer2025
