🦋 NEW TWIST ON BATIK CLASSES! 🦋

I am bringing one of my favorite textile arts into a whole new format and I am so excited to share it with you. Batik on embroidery hoops is here! Same gorgeous wax-resist process you may already know and love.

Here is what makes this workshop special:
🎨 Brand new templates to choose from (check out a few new options 👇
🖼️ Finished in an embroidery hoop and ready to hang
✨ No experience needed whatsoever
🌿 All materials provided
🎁 A beautiful handmade gift for yourself or someone you love

This is slow crafting at its finest. Meditative, colorful, and deeply satisfying. Once the wax hits the fabric you will be hooked.

📍 Location: The Artistic Flip Flop
👥 Small class size for personal attention

I'm one step closer to launching The Lilypad Initiative!
Four months ago an idea came to me in meditation.
I was a single mom in the middle of a major life transition, trying to figure out housing on my own. The rental market is overwhelming. The scams are real. And the feeling of not knowing who to trust or where to turn is something I would not wish on anyone.
I kept thinking there has to be a better way for women.
So I built it.
The Lilypad Initiative is a private women's housing network that connects women who have a spare room with women who need a safe, compatible place to land. Every member is background checked, compatibility assessed, and personally introduced. This is not Craigslist or Facebook Marketplace, but a vetted, intentional community of women helping women.
Today I am one step closer to launching in Tampa and I could not be more proud of how far this has come in such a short time.
If you know a woman who has space to share, or a woman who needs a safe place to land, please send her my way. And if you could share this post, I would be so grateful. Every share gets us one woman closer to thriving instead of just surviving.

Let's build something beautiful together.

Join Tampa Bay's trusted co-housing community for women. Pre-screened Hosts, background-checked Guests, compatibility matching. Cut rent in half in South Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater. Waitlist now open.
