Asking For Directions

Asking For Directions

Let's catch up!

Have you ever had someone ask you for directions?

Maybe, but what about when they're in a car and you're walking on the sidewalk on the opposite side of a 2 lane street. They slow traffic, to roll down their window to ask you directions to the dump... you're frazzled by the yelling and the cars piling up, and you know the dump is a good 20min away. So you say something like,

'I don't know, off the top of my head'.  

It was an odd experience, to say the least. 

Later, that morning it dawned on me, who asks for directions when they're already in the car, on their way some place? 

Me, my family, that's who. 
 
2024 was a year of surrender in so many ways, for my family. It's a long story, but in short, we've found ourselves doing a 180 degree turn in most areas of our life. As Christians we're trying our best to surrender all that He's asked us to let go of and pursue what He has for us. My husband and I are learning to trust in Him more wholeheartedly and walk in obedience. As part of this journey, we put our home on the market this past fall and it sold within 3 weeks! We moved into an intermediate rental townhome just before Christmas, while we wait for more clarity. 
With all this change, much consideration, prayer and days going by where I haven't felt the urge to macrame, I've decided to close out my macrame chapter.

It's been 6 years of so much learning, as I grew my small art business. I learned to pivot, starting in a new city twice. Ending this chapter with my first solo show was just the cherry on top.

I'm so thankful for all of your support, love and encouragement as I experimented and grew in this art form. I have gained so much knowledge in what it takes to run a small business and that I will take with me into the future.

Looking forward I will remain 'Kelsy Renee Studio' with a slightly different look. Surrendering my creativity, curiousity and passion to the one who made me and taking a little time to consider what's next will be paramount. My focus will be on exploring with curiousity, playing with different materials and getting back to the girl who made art because it made sense to. It helps me process, make connections and is a form of worship to my King.
