Rediscover the joy of “recess.” The Saturday Morning Snooze Kit is a curated creative experience designed to help you quiet the noise and find your flow. Whether you are a seasoned artist or haven’t picked up a brush since grade school, this kit provides a gentle roadmap to a peaceful morning in the studio—right at your own kitchen table.
 
The “In Stitches” watercolor and embroidery kit brings two creative techniques together in one colorful, playful project. Loose watercolor washes create a lively collection of prickly pear cactus pads and blooms, while simple hand-stitched details add unexpected texture, color, and personality. Bright pinks and warm corals play against fresh, layered greens, with expressive pen work keeping the finished piece wonderfully loose and imperfect.
 
Designed to be approachable even if embroidery is new to you, In Stitches includes guidance for adding the stitched details after your painting is complete. The result is a cheerful mixed-media piece that celebrates wonky lines, wandering watercolor, and the pleasure of making something with your own two hands.
 
Based on the same techniques and palettes I use for my original paintings, this kit isn’t about perfection; it’s about the process. Grab a cup of coffee, put on your favorite playlist, and let's create something together.
 
What’s Tucked Inside:
The Surface: One piece of 140 lb cold pressed 6" x 8" watercolor paper, (the same size used in my in-person workshop).
The Blueprint: An actual-size line drawing (traceable) of the composition, making it easy to start with confidence.
The Transfer: Professional-grade graphite paper to easily move your drawing onto the painting surface.
The Roadmap: A step-by-step printed guide where I walk you through the layers and techniques of the piece.
Visual Reference: A high-quality color print, (hand-signed by me) of the finished painting to guide your eye as you work.
The Palette Guide: A detailed list of my suggested paint colors and mixing tips to help you recreate the Chestnut Grove aesthetic with your own supplies.
 
Note: This kit is designed to be used with your own favorite paints and brushes. The included Palette Guide will tell you exactly which colors and brushes I recommend to achieve this look!
