BITTERSWEET ANNOUNCEMENT: What’s Next for Red Letter Craftworks

First and foremost, thank you all for your unwavering support, especially through the many pivots my business has made along the way. Like many small business owners, I’m constantly adapting and learning as I go.

Last year, I took a major leap, introducing a refined collection of handcrafted products that helped clarify my vision for the business. With each ornament, game board, and statement wall art piece, and through custom orders, my excitement grew. However, despite that clarity, several factors, including the current economic challenges, have caused me to reassess my next steps. After much consideration, it’s bittersweet to announce that I will be closing Red Letter Craftworks in its current form.

The product side of my business will now transition into more of a hobby, while I focus on new endeavors, such as designing digital files for fellow makers—helping them create products for themselves and their customers. I will no longer be accepting custom orders or individual product requests, effective today.

If you have an outstanding order with me, rest assured I will be fulfilling it. If that’s you, please know your order is still in queue, and you’ll receive it as planned.

I do plan to keep my retail spots stocked, so you can still shop ready-made handcrafted items at Rusty Mule Antiques, Jina’s Junque, and Silkwood Blooms! I may also consider offering some products locally during the Christmas season, but that’ll be shared at a later time.

I’m so grateful for all the support I’ve received throughout this journey. While I had hoped to stay in business longer, I believe this is the right decision for me at this time. I encourage you to continue supporting small businesses and local makers wherever possible.

To all my awesome customers—THANK YOU! Your support has meant the world to me, and I am deeply appreciative to everyone who has been part of this experience.

How’s everyone’s 2025 going so far?

I’ve been catching up mostly on personal stuff, but also working on the “business” side of Red Letter Craftworks, too. Here’s a little update my way…

*Bookkeeping & Planning – I’ve wrapped up my business bookkeeping for 2024 and finalized my goals for 2025. Now, it’s time to set some personal goals. I don’t really do “New Year’s Resolutions,” but I do like setting goals in the first couple of months of the year. Do you set any goals for the new year?

*Family Time – Two of my teenage nieces visited for a few days after the new year. The winter storms kept us indoors the whole time, blah. They chose to spend one of their days here having their own little DIY paint party, though. Both did an awesome job painting each wood art piece of their choosing– check their finished pieces out in the photos!

*Cat Adventures – I’ve spent the past several days trapping and caring for a "semi-feral" mama cat and her three 6-month-old kittens, who have been living on our property for months. All are now spayed/neutered except for the fourth kitten, who’s still “at large.” He’s escaped three traps so far—smart little one. The others are recovering quietly in my office/maker room, so my “making” time will continue to be limited due to lack of space and providing them with the extra care & attention they need.

*Kitchen Planning – (If you know me personally, then you’ll understand this is a bit of a big deal) …Big progress on our house rebuild: the kitchen addition is built and nearly ready for plumbing & electrical. Jake does the building and I focus on the designing. I’ve redesigned the kitchen layout at least 20 times over the past two years, but now it’s time to actually finalize the plans so we can begin the process of building all of our cabinetry in a couple months.

Thanks for sticking with me during this quieter time. I hope to share more “business” updates soon!

Sending everyone a big 'Thank You' for your support in 2024—here’s to a bright 2025 filled with more meaningful creations and cherished moments!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! I took a few days to rest and recharge, and now I’m gearing up for the year ahead.

In 2025, my focus will be on crafting more wooden statement wall art, offering both large and small sizes at varied price points. I’m also considering adding a couple of new items to my product lineup. I'll continue to accept custom work on a limited basis. I’d love your input—are there any handcrafted [wooden] pieces you’d like to see me create next year?

Here are a few custom projects from Q4 (at least the ones I remembered to snap photos of)!"

Awesome deal!

Sometimes the simplest things can be the prettiest. ❄️

I recently finished a custom order for a set of 12 Mahogany Snowflake Ornaments. The smooth oiled finish really brings out their natural shine. Honestly, photos don’t do them justice—they look (and feel) so much better in person.

I'm used to making more intricate and detailed pieces, but taking on this order was a really nice way to take a step back and appreciate making something more "minimalist" and simple. I'll be making myself a set now, too!
