I made my wife custom PJs... and it changed everything

Sondra the Design Diva www.rosewaterandcastiron.com From Chaos to Confidence Hey Chaos to Confidence Crew, Last Christmas, I designed my wife a custom pair of pajamas using a print-on-demand website.

What if more women could design thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gifts or launch mini-product lines... with zero tech overwhelm? That’s why I’m teaching a FREE class on...

New I Lost My Joy (But I’m Finding It Again)

Sondra the Design Diva www.rosewaterandcastiron.com From Chaos to Confidence Hey love, Can I be honest with you for a second? When I first started crafting, it felt like magic. Creating something with my hands—watching a blank shirt or journal come to life—it gave me a sense of calm, purpose, and pride. But somewhere along the way… I lost that spark. I was doing all the things. Cricut one day, sticker sheets the next, digital templates, KDP books, t-shirts, tumblers, party favors, planners…...
