Hey friends,
The weather has shifted. Mornings are crisp and sharp now, carrying that cool edge that whispers winter is coming. The sun feels a little lazy: rising later, setting earlier. Urging us to linger in bed a bit longer and cozy up under warm blankets with a mug of tea or cocoa in hand.
Honestly, this is one of my favorite times of the year. It’s the season of wool sweaters, finally pulled from storage, and the sweet relief of not sweating all day long (I live in California, after all!). It’s the time for indulging in warm drinks: coffee, tea, hot chocolate, without an ounce of guilt. Anything warm and comforting will do.
And that brings me back to Sierra and Pine.
This season makes me want to knit more, of course, but also to create more. To spend quiet evenings surrounded by the hum of creativity: the gentle click of needles, the swish of a paintbrush, the steady rhythm of a sewing machine. Each sound, each motion, becomes its own little meditation. A way to breathe, unwind, and reconnect with yourself.
That’s what Sierra and Pine is all about. It’s not about selling more stuff or chasing trends. It’s about slowing down. It’s about finding joy in the moment your hands start to move, when time seems to dissolve, and you’re fully there.
Sierra and Pine is for those found moments of calm. The rainy day that nudges you to pause, slip into your coziest pajamas, and lose yourself in something you love making.
For a long time, Sierra and Pine has focused mostly on knitting (with a little crochet and sewing on the side). But as this space grows, it feels right to open it up. To embrace all kinds of crafts that bring that same sense of peace and satisfaction.
So, moving forward, you’ll start seeing new articles, new products, and new emails that invite you to explore more creative corners of this world. I hope that Sierra and Pine continues to be a place where you can experiment, play, and create freely and confidently, in a space that feels genuine and grounding.
Like the pine forests of the Sierras, this shop is here for you to wander through at your own pace. To discover, dabble, and delight in the process. Everything you’ll find here has been carefully sourced and personally chosen to support that soothing, soul-sparking moment when time stops and creativity flows.
Enjoy this season, my friends. And may your hands stay busy and your heart full.
