Hi, everyone! Since it's been awhile and I have some fun/stressful news and new followers, here's a quick introduction! . . . I'm in the middle with my two kids - the "Rosie" and "Way" of Rosie Way Design. This picture was taken @krohnconservatory on Sunday. We're doing our best to get out and explore the world again. . . . I am an artist and scientist and love plants and animals and the environment and somehow wound up making cork bags and wallets. It fulfills both sides of my personality, allowing me to make something creative and one-of-a-kind as well as useful. It's like wearable art. Sewing is my therapy and helps keep me going and allows me to work at home and be there for my kids. My son has special needs so I'm all about being yourself, living your truth, and supporting others. . . Oh and the news is that I'll be @thehamiltonflea July 10th and September 11th so please come see me!!! . . . . #rosiewaydesign #sewistsofinstagram #artistoninstagram #sewingmom #ecofriendly #cincinnati #womanowned #ohiomaker #cork #maker #ohiomaker #sewist #madeinohio #handmadewithlove #vegan #petaapproved #hamilton #ohio #shopsmall #ethicalfashion #sustainable #supportsmallbusiness #mompreneur #sewist https://www.instagram.com/p/CP3fbrqBHRr/?utm_medium=tumblr

I made some difficult decisions and chose to sell what's left of my #artwork from shows in 2018. Some of these were part of juried shows. Some were in my first solo show. All are meaningful. It feels like part of my soul on display and that's unnerving. But I need to move forward. I need space for NEW art! . . There's a preview in my stories! . . . I think this is called "Tranquility Creek" and it's all #pastel on #pastelbord which is #ecofriendly! . . . #rosiewaydesign #creek #trees #forest #naturelover #nature #artistoninstagram #original #originalart #painting #pastelpainting #ohiomaker #ohio #ohioartist #art #fineart #supportsmallbusiness #womanartist #tranquil #peaceful #soulful #impressionist https://www.instagram.com/p/CNZ3cwQBj7m/?igshid=10yhkbceqq4dn

It's Friday, y'all! We made it through another week. . . And I don't know what to say...but I'll try. This week was full of so much emotion and I couldn't find it in me to do much and then realized today is officially the year anniversary of when school was shut down in Ohio. The next day, my son had surgery to get tubes put in both ears to help prevent more ear infections. After that day, unnecessary surgeries were canceled. For my family, that surgery was necessary as it kept us from going to the Dr at least every other week during quarantine. I really cannot empathize how thankful I am that we were literally just in the nick of time enough. . . . I'm not sure how we made it through the past year and keep going. But we do. Sewing has definitely been a lifesaver...and cheaper than therapy. Well, maybe lol. It definitely helps calm my anxiety. . . When @sincerelyjenpatterns came out with the #funbobby #backpack in December, the open front seemed intriguing and I looked up at a painting I did of the beach where I got married and thought maybe I could translate it with #corkfabric so I played with ideas for awhile. And here it finally is in all its glory. It's not perfect (the grass hides some errors) but it's a reminder of happier times and that I can make whatever I want lol. I'm looking forward to taking it with me on new adventures and making new memories with my kids. Hopefully one day it'll sit in the sand on that #beach! . . .
