The truth is, I'm a people-pleaser. Which means that every couple of months or so, I find myself questioning the pricing of my products (particularly when a potential customer asks for pricing, then there's *crickets* when I respond). I know that my products are by no means essential, and that many consider them to be expensive. But last night I did a little exercise to determine what my hourly rate is (for labour), and it came to R25. While I'm definitely not in this for the money, this exercise gave me the peace of mind that I needed, knowing that I can't lower my prices any further. I encourage any creatives to do the same, and may 2021 be the year for knowing our worth ❤️.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." - Rob Siltanen

My favourite part about Woven Whimsy is finding an incredible creative community of women, who support eachother, cheer for eachother, and honour eachothers talents. @shante_hutton has been a huge supporter of my little side hustle in the past year, and it was an honour to embroider her beautiful face. Thank you Shante, and never stop being the troublemaker that you are ❤️

It seems that you were all fans of the monograms this year 💕
Whatever 2021 holds, I pray that it brings peace, love, joy and safety to all of you. Thank you for your incredible support for Woven Whimsy this year. Onwards and upwards!

I always find these line drawing interpretations quite daunting, but I appreciate their simplicity and the lessons that I learn from them. Lesson number 1: hands are very difficult to draw and embroider 😂

This is me, the one who does a little happy dance

This is me, the one who does a little happy dance every time you place an order. I love the idea of spreading a little whimsy into my client's homes, and I always say a little prayer over each package, asking God to bring peace and joy to the recipient. Thank you for your encouragement and support, it means everything to this tired mama 😊

No, I'm not pregnant 🙂
But I'm excited to launch this new custom embroidered ultrasound option 🙂. Price is R550, which includes shipping within SA. They're not loaded onto the site yet, but please send me a DM if you'd like to be added to a waiting list in the meantime. Happy Monday everyone ❤️

(Disclaimer: I can take no credit for this idea, there are numerous other fibre artists offering a similar product via Etsy and other platforms. But I'm aware that these options aren't always feasible for South African customers, largely due to the exchange rates and shipping costs, so I'd like to offer something for local folk.)

And exhale... Have a good weekend everyone 💚
