🌿 A Note from FeHaving just reached my one-year mark, I can’t help but wonder: what does the future hold for me? A tarot reading in late August told me that as long as I stay true to my goals and let creativity be my guiding force, I will have abundance. I feel I’m already reaping the benefits, perhaps not financially yet, but certainly through the richness of experiencing life itself and living in the moment. |
🦌 Joining the Moose Lodge
I recently became a member of the Castro Valley Moose Lodge 1491 — and I have to say, my first event there surprised me in the best way. I met so many warm, genuine people, including fellow vendors and makers who share the same passion for community and craft. I'll be participating in more events there in the months ahead, and I look forward to becoming more involved with this wonderful local community.
🎨 Art Tips
Art Tip #7 is here. In this tutorial, I show how I turn a print of my original artwork into a handmade greeting card, one of the card styles I bring to vendor fairs alongside my professionally printed greeting cards.

📝 Fe's Reflections
The Star card I pulled during a Tarot reading in late August. |
This season of change has unfolded for me in several stages. In early August, time away near Mammoth Lakes reminded me to slow down, be present, and make room for the life that feeds my creativity. Later that month, during a Tarot reading, I pulled The Star from the reader’s deck. Its message of hope, positive change, and faith in a brighter future felt especially meaningful as I approached one full year of MyLittleFe. Now, as the weather cools and I begin year two, both moments feel like reminders to appreciate how far I’ve come while staying open to what comes next. In case you missed it, I wrote more about the camping trip, the changing season, and what the mountains reminded me along the way. Read 👉 The Changing of the Seasons |

I’ve also been thinking about what The Star brought up for me about creativity and the way I run MyLittleFe. I’ll share more on that later this month |
🎉 One Year of MyLittleFe
|
WHAT YEAR ONE TAUGHT ME This first year has been a season of learning, experimenting, and showing up. From vendor fairs and conversations with customers to launching my Art Tips and making MyLittleFe’s first National Parks donation, each experience has helped turn an idea into something real. Not every milestone can be measured financially. Some are found in the people you meet, the confidence you build, and the courage to keep creating. As I begin year two, I’m carrying those lessons with me and staying open to where they lead. |
RAFFLE DRAWING FOR SUBSCRIBERS To celebrate, everyone subscribed to my newsletter by the October 10 drawing will be entered, including anyone who joins at the event. If you’re already subscribed, no action is needed. I’ll contact the winner after the event. 🌿 Good luck! |

Can you believe the holidays are almost here? 🎃🎄 Halloween is just around the corner, and Christmas will be here before we know it. I’ve been busy creating new cards and gifts that capture the spirit of the season, with my signature storytelling twist, of course. Whether you’re looking for something funny, heartfelt, or a little spooky, I’ve got you covered. The Holiday Collection takes you from Halloween through New Year’s, so you can start looking now, save a few favorites, and come back when you’re ready to celebrate each moment. 👉 Explore the Fresh from the Shed |
