As makers, many of us tend to go all in. That instinct served us well in 2020, when making became a lifeline. But years later, the accumulation can feel overwhelming, not just physically, but mentally, too.

Finding a way to gently reduce what we’ve gathered is something many of us struggle with.

Hi, I’m Sherrill, The 1764 Shepherdess.
I’m a maker based in the Pacific Northwest. With a love of wool, I have hosted spinning and fiber events and now find myself writing to encourage makers to slow down, work with intention, and reconnect with the history of crafting by hand. I look forward to having you join me on this journey!
