World Mental Health Day through the years
Every October 10th, we pause and take a moment to honor World Mental Health Day.
It’s more than just a date on the calendar for us because it is an annual reminder of why this small business came to be in the first place!
We try to make something special every year to mark this date, and this year it won't be an exception!
Learn more about this year's theme on World Mental Health Day's official website!
A Tradition Close to Our Hearts
We're very proud of everything we did to celebrate this day so far!
2021: "Take Your Pleasure Seriously"
This quickly became our motto, embracing the idea that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. For many, needlepoint became a way to honor this belief - helping them slow down, unwind, and reconnect with what truly brings them joy.
2022: Collab with Jenna O'Brien
2023: Collab with Vika "Embroidery VS Anxiety"
2024: Take It Easy Bookmark
Our little reminder to practice mindfulness. We know reading is also a calming ritual for our customers (as is for us too), so we wanted to incorporate both of these calming activities in this year's celebration.
2025: Slow Down, U're Doing Fine Key Fob
Inspired by the lyrics Billy Joel's song 'Vienna', this key fob design was created as a reminder that life doesn’t need to be rushed and that you're not behind (like most of us think we are).
It's easy to compare our lives to the glamorous ones we're fed every day on social media, but we're here to tell you (and ourselves) that it’s okay to take your time. You should move at your own pace, and let yourself enjoy your journey, which is absolutely unique to you - and that's how it should be!
Happy World Mental Health Day!!
