The New Craft Room and Sunday Morning Coffee

Finishing my new craft room felt like crossing a finish line and immediately starting a new race. The organization is done, everything has a home, and yet the room is already buzzing with activity.

And honestly, I love that. This space was never meant to be a showroom. It was designed to be used, lived in, and filled with creative energy, and that’s exactly what’s happening.

Thanks for joining me for Sunday Morning Coffee. This is a place to share, learn, explain, dream, and have fun.

About Me

My Finished Craft Room… and Why It’s Already Busy

One of my top goals for this craft room makeover wasn’t just to organize supplies. I wanted a space that would help me stay organized creatively. I have many projects planned this year, and keeping them all straight was starting to feel overwhelming.

But the craft room is done, and I couldn’t be happier. Check out my blog post The Craft Room Organization and Makeover Reveal to see the completed room!

Between now and the end of March, I have 14 craft projects to complete. Fourteen. That number looks even bigger when you write it down.

That’s where one of my favorite improvements to the room comes in. I added dry-erase board peel-and-stick wallpaper to the back of my Dreambox, and it has already made a significant difference.

The Dreambox has an open panel that can be folded in to make it visible when I want it. Most of the time, it’s closed, and you can’t see it. That made it the perfect spot for a functional element without affecting the room’s look.

The peel-and-stick wallpaper was surprisingly easy to install. I measured the panel, cut the wallpaper to size, and applied it. No mess, no stress, and no commitment. If I ever want to remove it, I can. But honestly, I can’t imagine this space without it now.

Having that dry-erase surface right in front of me has completely changed how I approach my projects. Instead of juggling ideas in my head or flipping through notes, I can see everything at a glance. I’ve listed out my craft schedule, mapped out what needs to be done, and created a visual reminder of what I’m working toward. It’s motivating without being overwhelming.

And here’s the part that makes me laugh a little. While I still have a lot of creating ahead of me, I’ve at least decided which crafts I’m going to make. That alone feels like a win. Sometimes clarity is the hardest part, and now it’s literally written on the wall.

What I love most about this finished craft room is how quickly it’s proven its worth. The organization isn’t precious. It’s practical. The systems I put in place are already being used, adjusted, and relied on daily. This room supports my creativity rather than stifling it.

If a space encourages you to start, keeps you moving, and makes your ideas feel possible, then it’s doing exactly what it’s supposed to do. My craft room is finished, yes, but more importantly, it’s working. And that’s the best result I could have hoped for.

I am sorry, I’m not sharing the completed list. I want to keep my upcoming crafts a surprise!

My Latest Project

Why I Created New Winter Wreath Templates

When I wiped my hand-drawn Christmas wreaths off the windows, I didn’t expect it to make me sad. But it did. Those wreaths had been part of our home for weeks, quietly adding charm and creativity every time I walked by. Erasing them felt like saying goodbye to the season in a very final way.

That moment made me stop and think. Just because Christmas was over didn’t mean the creativity had to end. In fact, it sparked an entirely new idea. Instead of stopping at holiday designs, why not create seasonal wreath templates that maintain that same handmade feel throughout the winter and beyond?

And that’s how my new winter wreath templates were born.

Tomorrow, I’m releasing a collection of nine brand-new winter wreath designs, each created to feel cozy, timeless, and perfect for the quieter months after the holidays. These wreaths are inspired by winter botanicals, simple textures, and the season’s soft beauty. They’re meant to be calming, creative, and easy to enjoy long after the Christmas decorations come down.

What I value most about these templates is their versatility. They’re designed to be approachable and relaxing, whether you’re someone who loves to draw or someone who just wants a creative moment in the middle of winter. All you need to do is print the template and trace it. It’s that easy!

I’m also excited to share that I made a big behind-the-scenes improvement this time. I hired someone to help me with the download process, so it’s much simpler and more seamless than before. I know how frustrating complicated downloads can be, and I wanted this experience to feel easy and enjoyable from start to finish.

And this is just the beginning. Creating these winter wreaths opened the door to something even bigger. In just a few weeks, I’ll be releasing Valentine’s wreath templates, and I already have a monthly plan. This is the start of a creative series that will grow and evolve throughout the year.

Sometimes the best ideas come from small, unexpected moments, like wiping a window clean and feeling a twinge of sadness. I’m so glad I listened to that feeling and let it guide me toward something new.

If you loved the Christmas wreaths, I think you’re going to love these winter designs just as much. Creativity doesn’t have to stop when the holidays end. Sometimes, it’s just getting started.

What Worked This Week

The start of a new year always brings a fresh wave of motivation, and this past week felt especially motivating. Between finishing my craft room remodel and settling back into some familiar routines, I found myself feeling energized and focused, which doesn’t always happen all at once. When it does, I pay attention.

One of the biggest sources of inspiration lately has been my craft room.

At the same time, I’m continuing my journey toward better health, which is something I’ve been very intentional about. I’m still working out with my personal trainer twice a week over Zoom, and I truly can’t say enough good things about the consistency that brings. Even on days when I’m tired or tempted to skip it, having that appointment on the calendar keeps me accountable. It’s become one of those habits that quietly works in the background, week after week.

And then there’s the part of this week that surprised even me. I played golf.

Yes, golf.

I’m a beginner, still figuring out how to hone my skills. There are moments when the ball doesn’t go where I want it to go, and others when I surprise myself. But after weeks of rain, the weather finally cleared, and being outside felt like such a gift. I loved it more than I expected. There’s something about playing the course, focusing on one shot at a time, and letting everything else fade away that feels incredibly refreshing.

What worked this week wasn’t one big thing, but a combination of small, intentional choices. A creative space that fuels my ideas. Movement that supports my health. Trying something new, even if I’m not great at it yet. All of it added up to a week that felt balanced and satisfying.

Now I just need to get to the beach and practice my putting in our backyard!

I’m learning that progress doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like showing up, staying consistent, and finding joy in unexpected places. This week, that was enough.
