The latest Re:Designed Project organizers have launched in 4 classic colors and 3 sizes. Project 134 is great for small projects like socks or skinny shawls while 114 and 115 will keep your shawls and blankets tucked safely inside. I'm loving the clever magnetic closure that makes zipper snags a thing of the past.
The entire Boxy Project Bag line is available exclusively at Stephen & Penelope. Don't miss it!

If I could talk to my 10-year-old self, I would tell him: keep twirling. Keep dancing. Keep doing cartwheels. Keep filling those scrapbooks and making every craft project you can dream up. Keep being curious. Keep being yourself.
Right now, you may feel like you don’t quite fit in, but one day you’ll realize that the very things that make you feel different are the things that make you special. All those hours spent creating and crafting will eventually lead to the most unexpected career imaginable: designing knitting patterns and building a creative business that connects you with people all over the world.
You’ll find your people, too. Not just people who tolerate you, but people who celebrate you. Your sensitivity is your superpower. You’ll learn that sensitivity and vulnerability creates connection and that being authentically yourself gives others permission to do the same.
Moving to Amsterdam will open your world in ways you can’t yet imagine. You’ll become part of an incredible community through the Amsterdam Gay Men’s Chorus, where you’ll find a deep sense of belonging and friendship. You’ll discover what it feels like to be surrounded by people who see you exactly as you are and love you for it.
Pride is a celebration, but for me it’s also a reminder that belonging isn’t something you earn by changing who you are. It’s something you find when you finally allow yourself to be exactly who you’ve been all along.
Happy Pride! 🌈🏳️⚧️
