{One Never Discusses the Size of One’s Fabric Stash.}

Chris McLaughlin

Chris McLaughlin

Making stuff with our own little hands just hits different, doesn’t it? It’s pure joy for the heart and balm for the soul.

Creativity’s our love language around here — stitching, crafting, creating and plus a little farm life thrown in just to keep things interesting.

At Hold My Coffee, we’re top-tier creative enablers: fueled by caffeine and a healthy disregard for perfection.

The Joy is in the Making.
