📚🎶🧶 With Love + Joy, From Our Little House to Yours

My earliest memory of baking is from when I was so small I still sat in a high chair. My great-grandmother, Berneice Pearl, handed me a tiny rolling pin and a bunny-shaped pie tin. I pressed pie crust into it and filled it with blueberries — my very first blueberry bunny pie. From that moment on, her kitchen became my classroom. Ev

ery December, our freezer filled with boxes and boxes of Christmas cookies — sugar cookies from my Great Great Aunt Ina’s recipe, gingerbread, and more. Those sweet traditions shaped me, and they are at the heart of Pink Pearl Homemade today. The name Pearl honors my great-grandmother, whose love raised me, and whose joy still fills everything I create. My middle name, Anne Pearl, is a daily reminder of her. Through every batch of cookies and every handmade treasure, I hope to pass on the love and joy she poured into me. At Pink Pearl Homemade, you’ll find sugar cookies (our forever favorite), cheese straws, seasonal bakes, and custom creations designed in collaboration with you. Because sometimes the sweetest joy comes not just from tradition, but from helping someone’s vision come to life. Pink Pearl is more than a bakery. It’s a legacy, a home for whimsical comfort — where recipes and creativity meet to spark delight — and a place where love + joy are always the main ingredients.

Meet Sunlit Tides. 🌊✨

Inspired by my best friend Deanna’s eyes: sea-glass blues, deep teals, and a little ring of amber sunlight at the center.

This is my third eye-color yarn experiment, and I think it might be my favorite so far.

Also testing a new base: 90% superwash merino, 10% linen, fi*****ng weight.

Would you knit with a yarn inspired by someone’s eyes? 👀🧶

✨ 27 Days to 40: Following the Clues ✨

For years, I thought I needed a “career.”

Not because anyone told me that directly, but because the things I loved felt too small.

Writing. Making. Storytelling. Hospitality.

Looking back, the tangle wasn’t my career path.

It was believing my gifts weren’t important enough to belong on it.

💬 Have you ever felt like your gifts weren’t important enough?

✨ WIP Wednesday ✨

Today was less knitting and more dye-pot science.

I spent the afternoon trying to match an eyeball, testing a new fiber blend, experimenting with planned pooling yarns, and comparing two non-superwash merino worsted bases.

Now comes the hardest part…

Waiting for everything to dry. 😂🧶

Which reveal should come first: eye-color yarn, planned pooling, or the new fiber blend?

✨ 28 Days to 40: Following the Clues ✨

For far too long, I heard that baking, sewing, cooking, and making things were “just” hobbies.

Now I think the word tends to show up right before something important.

Those lessons from my Grandma Pearl taught me to turn ordinary things into something useful.

Looking back, they weren’t “just” hobbies.

They were clues.

💬 What skill were you taught that still serves you today?

This week’s PEARL Update includes a finished Cardamine Vest by , Shrinky D**k experiments, a wildflower bridal shower cake, an impromptu national anthem, and a reminder that sometimes rest needs to take priority. 🧶✨

The migraines may have interrupted my reading plans, but creativity still found a way into the week.

What was the highlight of your week?

✨ 30 Days to 40: Following the Clues ✨

For the next 30 days, I’m sharing the stories that eventually became Pink Pearl.

Looking back, the things I thought were hobbies and detours were actually clues.

💬 What’s something you’ve loved for as long as you can remember?

Because the things you love may not be distractions from your calling. They may be clues to it.

🧵 Stitch & Pray

As I sewed the final seams of this Cardamine Vest, I found myself thinking about all the ways God works in the joining.

Today I’m praying for growth, relationships, and the courage to keep becoming who He created us to be.

One stitch at a time. One prayer at a time. ❤️

I actually made a toile… and I probably maybe will always make one now…

Version one taught me that something wasn’t quite right.

Version two feels so much closer to the fit I was hoping for.

A few adjustments can make all the difference, and now it’s finally time to cut into the real fabric for my Cardamine Vest test sew.

Wish me luck!

This vest is so beautiful. The instructions are lovely! Go check out for some of her finished patterns while you wait for the cardamine vest to be ready!

I thought Pink Pearl was going to be all yarn and yarn dying…

Instead, it has become a collection of all the things I love making. 🧶📚🎶✨

What started with yarn led to stories. Stories led to books. Books led to market booths. And market booths somehow led to teaching myself faux stained glass.

Every time I prepare for a market, I’m not just building a booth. I’m building a little world where yarn lives beside stories, creativity sparks new ideas, and handmade things invite people to linger a little longer.

This sign is for Pink Pearl Press, the home of my self-published books, and one more small piece of that world coming to life.
