The Handmade Hermit Hi! I'm Stephanie - Wife, Mom, Maker. This is a place where squishy blocks of vivid colors become tiny pieces of wearable art.

I can't even begin to encapsulate this year in words in a post. So instead here's a few of my favorite things I'm looking at while on vacation. 💐♥️

I literally feel like Santa Claus this year. Can't believe I get to make such pretty things and send them to people I love. Hope your holidays have a little bit of lovely delight in them. If not, let's make some together this new year, ok?!

The Super Dome Hug and the Mini Dome Hug. My two new favorite earrings. Wear them on game day (Go Saints!) or on glam day. These black and gold stunners are a gentle nod to the football stadium in NOLA. As an outsider who didn't grow up anywhere near football fandom, I thought the craze was just sports. But learning more and hearing folks talk, I've heard stories about how this building has literally been a shelter in the storm, a safehouse for the displaced, a place where people get their feet back underneath. These are the monuments that solidify community, they make the celebrations and game days sweeter than honey.

This collection came to life as the calendar turned from summer to fall and Hurricane Ida ripped through Louisiana with a fierceness we've not seen since Katrina. I married a man from the swamp and we always have Louisiana on our mind.

I'll be donating 10% of the proceeds from the sale of any earring in this collection AND any sale during the month of November to the bayoufund.org a GoFundMe set up by social workers to put cash into the hands of folks who need it asap in the hardest hit parish. If you don't need any jewelry, please pop over to the fundraiser. Any donation is not too small, it all adds up when we all do it.

Held Hoops from the new Hurricane collection. The contrast on these is what I love most. The big chunky black and gold hoops held by a fine gold almost invisible (in comparison) wire hoop. Because in seasons of hardship it's always the seemingly tiny things that hold it all together. Kindness from strangers, sweet memories, a hug, or a surprise; these tiny bits of joy make the whole thing incredibly beautiful and day by day more bearable.

What holds you?

Remember when we were so excited about the 20's? All the glitz and glam? Parties and friends? I think in part that's what I love about making little beautiful things now. Because instead of walking into a new decade with excitement and joy, we've all been through something incredibly truamatic. Early on in the pandemic I hired a therapist and it was the most helpful thing I've ever done for myself. I've seen her weekly for over a year and a half now. She's walked with me through frozen truama brain as I faced the early days of pandemic and my mind snapped back into the superhighway of unhelpful thinking that I had created as a child. She helped me identify an ADHD diagnosis and how my brain is different and beautiful. She helped me work through PTSD as I realized I was pregnant, and the crazy hormones stepped up and my OCD tendencies paired with anxiety meant I couldn't unspin my own webs. She helped me make really hard decisions that helped me feed my newborn AND be a present wife and mother. And she kept asking every week if I've had enough sleep, water, food and time to myself. As I emerged from the fog, I've found that making things helps me in ways I still don't understand. It grounds me and allows me to process as I do repetitive tasks. It gives me space to be silent and unmoving. And the end result is just so fun. And now with a fun pair of earrings and a mask minder, instead of remembering my sensory issues as I walk into a building and put on a mask, I feel a bit of beauty and individuality. I've made a few extra beauties because maybe you need some of these grounding things too. It brings me great joy to know that I can help you in this season. As usual link in bio. And it wouldn't be a proper ADHD moment if I didn't show up to the party a day late. 🤗
