500 Patterns, One Big Dream

I want to be honest with you:My dream is to be a full-time artist.

But the reality is... it’s hard. Really hard.Shipping from Belgium is expensive and time-consuming. And while I love making plushies, they take so much time—which makes it hard to grow a business or reach more people.

That’s why I’ve decided to put my energy where my heart (and time) align: Digital sewing patterns. Especially the ones that bring me the most joy—Christmas felt ornaments. 🎄✨

Starting this June, I’ll be working part-time, which finally gives me the space to dedicate myself fully to this dream. My goal? To create and upload one Christmas felt ornament pattern every business day.

I’ve done the math:

• I want to reach 500 patterns, the number I believe I need to make a small, stable income.

• Right now, I have 15 patterns, so I need 485 more.

• If I work 5 days a week (Monday to Friday), that’s 5 patterns a week.

  
  

📅 That means I’ll reach my goal in 97 weeks—or around March 2027.

That might seem far away, but honestly? It feels exciting. It’s a plan. A path. And every stitch I make brings me closer to a life built on art, magic, and creativity.

Thank you for following along and cheering me on. It means everything to me.

With love and hope,

The Christmas Lady
