✨ LOOK WHAT’S IN THE WORKS! ALL BECAUSE OF MY SWEETHEART✨

This project was a complete surprise. My sweet Jeremiah had one of his coworkers working on it for me, and he was so excited to help make it happen. He always believed in me and my business, and he was always thinking of ways to support my dreams.

It’s hard to share this without wishing he was here beside me to see it. I know he’d be smiling, proud that something he helped set in motion is getting closer to becoming real. I’ll carry his love and encouragement with me through every step.

YES!

✨A new website for Kay McAtee Designs is coming soon! It will be a place where you can find my handmade goods and patterns, visit my Etsy and Amazon shops, and connect with my page—all in one spot.

Thank you to my sweetheart and Jeremiah’s coworker, Dustin for helping bring his thoughtful surprise to life. I can’t wait to share more with all of you. It’s looking so perfect!

Coming soon! ❤️

❤️ 28,000 followers. That’s what this page says—and I’m still taking it all in.

Every one of you chose to follow along, and that means so much to me. You’ve shared your own creations, left kind words, celebrated new projects, and made this community a special part of my life.

I’m going through one of the hardest seasons I’ve ever faced, and I want you to know how much I appreciate you being here. Your patience, kindness, and understanding has touched my heart. Even when I’m quiet or need time away, knowing you’re still here means more than I can explain.

Thank you for being part of Kay McAtee Designs and for making 28,000 followers feel like something much bigger than a number. I’m grateful for every one of you. ❤️

🧵✂️❤️ WHAT’S ON YOUR WORKTABLE THURSDAY? ❤️✂️🧵

Kellie here, friends! 👋❤️

I’m helping Kay get caught up on a few things on her never-ending to-do list! I’m gathering skirts for her, that’s about the extent of my sewing skills.😂❤️

She’s starting to feel a little better and is slowly getting back to work, so I’m doing everything I can to help take a few things off her plate and make things a little easier for her.

So while she’s busy doing her thing, I thought it would be fun to see what all of YOU have been up to! 👀❤️

WHAT’S ON YOUR WORKTABLE TODAY?

Are you sewing, painting, crafting, creating something new, or finally finishing that project that’s been sitting there forever? 😂

SHOW US WHAT YOU’RE WORKING ON!

Finished, unfinished, or somewhere in between… we want to see it ALL!

We’d especially LOVE to see anything you’ve created from one of Kay’s:

❤️ Free Tutorials
❤️ 7 Days with Kay Workshops
❤️ Kay McAtee Designs Pattern Packets

There’s nothing better than seeing all the wonderful things you create with your own two hands! We know how much time, love, and creativity goes into handmade projects, and you should be PROUD of them!

Let’s fill these comments with pictures, inspiration, encouragement, and a whole lot of crafty goodness!

And don’t forget to scroll through and show some love to your fellow crafters! 🥰

I’ll be hanging out right here in the comments today, chatting with everyone and admiring all your creations!

So come on, friends… give me something to do while Kay works on getting back into the swing of things! 😂❤️

My assistant has been extra busy! Remember the video of her spraying the fabric strips with the coffee mixture? I’m excited to share that Kay’s Grubby Raggedy Rag Bundles are now LIVE 🤎

Each bundle is unique, featuring a beautiful mix of calicos, muslin, and homespuns, all stained with our signature secret coffee blend and tied with a grubby muslin bow. They are perfect for adding that special primitive charm to your home decor or crafting projects!

Each bundle contains 25 strips, measuring 2” wide and approximately 36” long. Whether you're making rag garlands, wreaths, bowl fillers, basket ties, or gift accents, these are ready to go. They also look stunning displayed as-is on a peg rack!

We have 12 "SUPER" grubby bundles and 7 "SOFT" grubby bundles available for 39.99 each plus shipping. 🚛

These are available on a first-come, first-served basis! If you’d like one, please comment "SUPER" for the super grubby look or "SOFT" for the softer grubby look. 🤎

💥 No international shipping available - we are very sorry.

To my wonderful Facebook friends and followers, This is Kay ❤️

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the time and space to grieve.

All of the arrangements and Jeremiah’s Celebration of Life took place this past weekend, and I’m so grateful for the love, kindness, and understanding that everyone shown myself and his amazing family. It was a packed house both days and just showed me what a wonderful man I had married. So many people came out to express their condolences, show their love for him and pay their respects. The turnout was remarkable.

I was hoping I would feel ready to get back to business today, but I just couldn’t. I’ll do my best to show up tomorrow. 🙏 I spoke with the coroner this morning and learned that Jeremiah died from cardiac arrest caused by a widow-maker heart attack. I’m thankful he didn’t suffer, but I’m still so completely heartbroken. It was only a week yesterday that he left us, and I’m trying to take things one day at a time.

Over the coming days, my assistant will be sharing a few things for me, including some ready-to-ship goodies she’s been working on and some small tutorials. You can also shop anytime in my Etsy store or join one of my 7 Days with Kay groups:

• 7 Days of Peeps
• 7 Days of Crows
• 7 Days of Bees
• 7 Days of Sheep
• 7 Days of Primitive Projects
• 7 Days of Christmas

Thank you for being here, for your patience, and for continuing to support me and my small business while I find my way through this. Your kindness means more than I can say.

-Kay❤️

Today is the day I have to say goodbye to my husband. I’ll see him one last time and kiss him goodbye, and I can’t imagine how I’m going to walk away.

He left us on Sunday, October 11th, and my heart still can’t accept that he’s gone. I will love him for the rest of my life. A part of me will forever be broken, and I’ll carry him, our memories, and the love we shared with me always. 🤍

Please keep his family in your prayers, his mother, his daughter, his sons and all the others that loved him so dearly.
