I used to wake up, drink coffee, drive to work, teach the kids, grade the papers, drive home, eat dinner, knit a blanket, and repeat.
I was constantly exhausted and feeling drained…

The highlight of my day used to be coming home to knit, not because I didn’t love my students, but because I’m an introverted highly sensitive person (HSP).
I needed time to recharge from feeling the sensory overwhelm of interacting with the world.

I often found myself needing to recharge for days after simple interactions; that’s when I realized I needed to find a different career - maybe even my own business. I combined my love of fiber arts with my need for a retreat and The Autumn Acorn was born!

Now it’s my passion and my privilege to create and contribute to the wonderful world of crafting. It’s my mission to provide a relaxing outlet and genuine community where everyone feels tranquil and welcome.

Welcome to The Autumn Acorn family! I’m excited to create with you!
