Hey friends! Happy Monday!

I wanted to give you some answers about why you haven’t seen me for a while!

This 3rd trimester is really kicking my butt! I’ve been so exhausted that I decided it was good for me to take a mental step back from social media before the baby arrives!

It’s crazy to think the due date is now just a week away!

That being said, I’m running a pre-baby SALE in the shop through Wednesday & then putting the shop on VACA for maternity leave!

If you have questions, please feel free to message me!

HAPPY EARTH DAY 🌎 🦎🌳🌱🐳

Did you know when I first started The Knotted Bean & even now, a year into the shop, I periodically research & find ways to make the shop my eco-conscious!

From the macrame cord I use, to the wooden beads, & even the packaging…I strive to use recycled or biodegradable materials!

When you buy a product from me, you will most likely get it in a pre-loved mailer! I do this so that it’s not a 1 time use plastic! I also use recycled tissue paper, recycled printer paper, & recycled tape when I can!

I save my cord scraps for other projects & source all my materials with a conscious mind!

It’s not a lot, but it doesn’t have to be! Every little thing we do to better the planet helps!

The mailer may not be the prettiest, but the items inside are wrapped with love & beauty! I take great care to make sure every item is what I would want it to be if I were the shopper!

Do your part today, even if you aren’t going and picking up trash outside!

You can choose to shop at an eco-conscious small business today instead of a big chain with single use plastics!

Only 8 weeks left! 3rd trimester is no joke!

I wanted to thank everyone for being patient with me! I know I haven’t posted as much in the last week or 2!

The 3rd trimester is hitting me WAY harder than I imagined it would! I’ve never felt so tired & drained!

Any other small business mamas out there relate?

Which trimester was hardest for you?

I know they say it hits people so differently. I thought I got the hard stuff out of the way 1st trimester but I guess my body had other thoughts!

But I hope to create some new goodies for you all before baby comes in a couple months!

Whose heading to church tonight for GOOD FRIDAY?

Easter celebrations are in full swing for us!

One of my favorite uses for macrame bookmarks is for bible study & journaling!

I get asked all the time, “Do the bookmarks rip the pages of the bible?

NO! They do not! My husband and I both use them! Of course, you can’t yank them out, but if you use them properly they will not rip the pages of your books!

Today’s the dreaded day for all ETSY sellers everywhere!

As of today hundred of Etsy sellers went on strike against Etsy increasing their fees from 5% to 6.5%!

It may not see like much, but it’s a huge deal when you look at the big picture— this means increase in prices, operating costs, etc.

I decided, after much thought, that I wouldn’t be putting my shop on vaca because I didn’t want to completely stop my sales! I thought it might have a worse outcome for me!

You can still order through the week from me!

How many of you are not shopping or selling Etsy this week?
