As 2025 comes to a close, I’m feeling extremely grateful.
Grateful for every person who purchased an item, liked, shared, commented, or supported A Handmade Teacher in any way. None of it goes unnoticed 🤍

This year I completed 270 projects, and honestly… that number still blows my mind. It was a big year of learning, growth, and being reminded how much I truly love creating art for all of you.

I also learned something really important this year: balance.
I’m the type of person who wants to do it all, which led to many, many late nights painting. While I loved creating, I’m also a wife, mom of three, and a teacher.

Looking ahead to 2026, I don’t expect the numbers to be this high and that’s intentional. A big goal is to prioritize myself and my family while still doing what I love. I’ll continue seasonal releases and a limited number of projects each month, so booking ahead will be important.

Thank you for being here, for cheering me on, and for allowing me to do what I love.
Here’s to a more balanced, intentional year ahead. Happy New Year!!

🤍Amy
