Hi hi hi! A lot of things have happened this year, & a lot of things yet to... but I haven't really shouted about it. I've been feeling reflective, here's what I've learnt...

1. For years my lead time has been same day. You order before 4pm, it's embroidered & sent that day. That was A) no longer feasible, & B) I needed to be kinder to myself. I've changed it to 1-3 days with standard 2nd class post. It's made no difference on sales.

2. I've always struggled to grow my Etsy UK store, since I launched it 12 years ago, it's never taken off. THIS was the year, & I'm up over 100%

3. I turned 35. It was a milestone.

4. I know now that I'm not scared of change. Actually, I need change to thrive. I don't want things to stay the same, I'm at my best when life is growing & evolving.

5. The business is having its biggest change to date. And that means, I have to think real carefully about what products A) I want & B) Are most profitable.

6. Peak never ended this year, for the first time, I've been flat out all year round. There's never a moment without online orders or a wisting list for the embroidery service.

7. Because of ^ there's many things I know I should be doing, but simply can't. Some I feel guilty about, but posting on social media isn't one of them. It may not always be that way, but for this year, it's a relief of my to do.

8. I never used to say no. I took ever job, no matter what. Recently, I've had to say no & it feels good. I can choose the jobs I want & try not to feel the pressure of saying yes.

9. The hankies. Omg the hankies. Omg I have embroidered so many darn hankies. Over 500 this year, they took off immediately when I started selling them, only in January. I can't believe there wasn't a time I didn't sell hankies.

10. If something goes wrong (and it does), I'm much better and holding my hands up & saying, hell, that didn't work out, I can't go any further with this, but here's what I can offer instead. Sometimes it's not worth flogging a dead horse.

Doea all my learnings makes sense?! Maybe. What about you?

The shop is reopening soon! 🎉 Since January, it's been hectic catching up with post-Christmas orders and admin, a bit of a whirlwind. I've also had that underlying feeling that I just want more time...

This Monday I did something I’d never done before… I made a U-turn. I was leaving the villiage where my partents live to return to work. Snow was on the ground, one of those rare bluebird days. 10 minutes out of the villiage I had a moment of clarity...why do I have to work today? I turned the car around and we went on a morning walk through the countryside to a pub for chips. It reminded me why I love being self-employed – to choose these moments.

Here’s a little peek back at last year – a crazy, beautiful year. Feeling ready to hit refresh for 2026, slow down a bit, and make time for the things that matter most 💛

Mum started and finished chemotherapy. I became an Auntie. Wonderful holidays in Spain, Sicily & Edinburgh 🌍

Cut my hair (really) short ✂️

Developed new products (some new pj's more successful than others, caps) ✅

Collaborated on exciting projects 🧦

Completed amazing embroidery commissions, and ran more workshops than ever before 🪡

Let's do this 2026. Shop back open (for sure!) Thurs, can't wait to share it with you.

Was a treat to co-design some classic StephieAnn socks with for ❤️

The socks are embroidered in the Brighton studio and finished by hand with our velvet bows - a really fun twist to my festive bow socks! They're embroidered with naughty and nice list - or personalise with your name or phrase 🌸

Thank you so much Etsy for this fab collaboration ❤️ Etsy was the first marketplace I sold with, I remember back in the day (10 years ago now!) winning a young designer award and visiting their London HQ! I've always loved hanging out woth the team throughout the years 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

11 years of StephieAnn = wonderful madness ❤️ I've been in the Hove Shop 3 years, and we've been busy prepping for another festive season 🎄

It's been a slow start this Christmas and my nerves have been tested. But - I've been in this rodeo long enough to know how unpredictable retail is, especially in 2025.

I'm forever grateful to those shopping small this Christmas and everyone whose attended a embroidery or flower pressing workshop this year. Not forgetting my fantastic support network of friends, family and cheerleaders 💜

You can shop small with StephieAnn this year by -

1. Heading online - I've recently added some new Christmas gifts 🤶

2. Purchasing a gift voucher for a Pressed Flower Workshop. The workshops happen 2-3 times a month Saturdays and Thurs evenings 🌸

3. Commissioning embroidery by bringing me your items to embellish 🪡

4. Giving this post a like and sharing it with a friend ☺️

I can’t believe how many Pressed Flower Workshops I’ve run this year 🌸
I must have had over 50 participants by now!

What started as a little “might as well see what happens” idea has turned into something joyous 💛 Watching people create pressed flower frames—each one completely unique.

Here are a few of my favourite creations this year.

📅 Next workshops:
• Friday 6th September – 11am
• Friday 27th September – 11am
• Sunday 28th September – One Garden Brighton 🌿

The session is an extra-special one—set in the countryside of Stanmer Park, surrounded by walled gardens and lush greenery.  A perfect way to spend a Sunday morning before exploring the park - plus 10% off in the One Kitchen restaurant. 

You can book all workshops online with StephieAnn, link in my bio or send a DM 😘

I 💙this dress. I bought it 14 years ago in New York when I was 20—a classic that quickly became my go-to, throw-on favourite.

I loved her hard and she was torn, bleach-stained & worn thin. It made me so sad, I even remember Mum saying, 'I'm sorry about your dress Stephie'.

I've bought her back to life!

Using visible mending techniques and embroidery, I reinforced the holes, stitched over bleach marks, and added fruit! 🍒🍊🍓 She's my Fruity Tutti Dress now full of backstitch, chain stitch, French knots, sashiko… love!

I’ve started teaching Visible Mending & Upcycling Workshops so you can do the same—turn worn pieces into treasures. You can request these workshops online or DM.

Also, one spot left for my popular Intro to Embroidery workshop on Saturday 30th August at 11am – £45. These sessions are limited to 4-5 people with lots of guidance, take home practical advice & templates.📍DM to book.
