The Rebrand Begins: A Fresh Chapter for Sweetpea Cyd's Inspirations

 

🌸 The Rebrand Begins: A Fresh Chapter for Sweetpea Cyd’s Inspirations

Twisting Fiber. Challenging Limits. Inspiring Souls.

Hi Sweetpeas,

Today, I’m inviting you into something close to my heart — the official rebrand of Sweetpea Cyd’s Inspirations. This has been a labor of love, born from months of reflecting, untangling, and dreaming about what this space truly means to me… and to you.

It’s more than just yarn and stitches — it’s about creating with heart. 💕

😃 Why a Rebrand?

Over time, I’ve realized that what lights me up most is inspiring others — not just through finished fiber projects, but through the process, the learning, and even the messy middle. I want this to be a place where fiber artists of all levels feel encouraged, seen, and supported.

So I’m weaving inspiration into everything I do — not as an afterthought, but as the very thread that holds it all together.

And honestly? I’m really loving this new rhythm I’ve created for myself.
It’s not just about checking boxes or sticking to a schedule — it’s about carving out time to breathe, to be present, and to truly enjoy the process again.

There are a few more things I’ll be sharing later in the blog, but I’ll say this:

Giving myself permission to slow down and refocus has gifted me something I didn’t even know I was missing — a renewed sense of self, and a soft, steady encouragement that greets me every time I pick up my hook, draft fiber, or sit down to write.

This rebrand is more than a new name or a visual refresh. It’s a return to the heart of why I started this journey in the first place — and a new beginning for what’s to come.

✨ What’s New?

If you’re reading this — you are in the right spot. 🧡
This space was made for you: the maker, the dreamer, the fiber lover who’s just looking for a bit of inspiration and a soft place to land.

With this rebrand, I wanted to create more than just a YouTube refresh — I wanted to build a cozy, intentional community. A place where you feel encouraged, whether you’re picking up a hook for the first time or spinning yarn between sips of your morning coffee.

Here’s what’s new and blooming:

💻 The Blog

This is your home base. A space where I’ll share tutorials, fiber reflections, behind-the-scenes thoughts, and the kind of encouragement we all need from time to time. Think of it like sitting down with a friend who totally gets your creative soul.

💕 Patreon Community

If you’d like to support this creative journey and connect on a deeper level, I’ve created a special space just for us on Patreon. It’s a cozy, members-only corner where I’ll be sharing early content, behind-the-scenes peeks, printable goodies, and exclusive fiber-filled surprises.

This past week, I’ve taken some time to reflect on my Patreon pricing.
When I first launched, I may have set the tiers a bit higher than what truly aligned with the heart of this space. After giving it some thought, I’ve made a few intentional changes:

✨ I’ve lowered the pricing across the board to make it more accessible, and added a brand-new tier for those who simply want to support the journey in a small, meaningful way.

No matter which tier you choose — whether you’re diving into content or simply cheering from the sidelines — you’re helping keep this creative light shining. And that means more than you know.

💫Merch for Makers

Handspun Yarn on Mercari

One of my favorite parts of the fiber journey is spinning yarn that holds its own story — and now, you can bring a piece of that story into your own creations. ✨

I’ve recently added a brand-new skein to the shop called "Sea Witch" — a mystical, moody, and magical hank of handspun yarn that’s just waiting to be stitched into something special.

 Sea Witch is:

• 671 yards

• Light fingering weight

• Perfect for shawls, socks, or lightweight layering pieces

• A stunning addition to your Halloween project stash or any time you’re craving something with a little enchantment ✨

Every skein in the shop is spun with intention, texture, and a touch of soul — no two are ever the same.

🛒 Browse the full collection (and claim Sea Witch while she’s still in stock):

🌼 What’s Staying the Same?

The heart behind Sweetpea Cyd’s Inspirations hasn’t changed. This is still a cozy, creative space where you’ll find:

• Tutorials & tips for spinners and crocheters

• Beginner-friendly content

• Real talk from a real maker

• Encouragement to keep going — no matter where you are on your fiber journey

🎥 Watch the Rebrand Video!

To truly bring this rebrand to life, I’ve created a special video sharing the heart behind these changes — what inspired them, what’s new, and what you can expect moving forward.

This isn’t just a channel update. It’s a moment to pause, realign, and recommit to creating from a place of joy, purpose, and connection.

Whether you’ve been here from the start or just found your way into the Sweetpea garden, I’d love for you to watch and celebrate this new chapter with me.

🌼 What’s Coming This Week

 Patreon Community: Just for my Sweetpea Blossoms

This week marks the release of my very first Patreon-exclusive video for Sweetpea Blossom Members, and I’m so excited to kick things off with a special continuation of my All Things Yarn chat — but this one’s just for members.

🧶 Live Chat with Shannon from Shannon Talks Yarn

I’ll be going LIVE with Shannon from Shannon Talks Yarn this week (July 20th @ 11m EST/ 10 am CT) for a sweet fiber-filled chat about sunflower-inspired projects 🌻 — a perfect blend of seasonal joy and creative color play. We’ll be sharing ideas, inspirations, and ways to bring a little sunshine into your fiber work.

🗓️ Be sure to follow her YouTube channel! 

✍️ Coming Sunday: A New Blog + YouTube Series Begins!

Next Sunday, I’ll be launching a brand-new series that speaks to something I know many of us face — starting a new hobby. Whether it’s your first time picking up a crochet hook, exploring spinning, or just taking a leap into something creative and unfamiliar, this series is here to guide you with warmth, honesty, and gentle encouragement.

🌼 This series will be available both on the blog and on my YouTube channel, so you can read along, watch along, or stitch along — however you feel most supported.

You’ll get:

• Thoughtful reflections on overcoming fears

• Beginner-friendly tips and resources

• Real stories from my own experiences starting something new

• And MORE!

📅 Mark your calendar — it all begins next Sunday!

  The outpouring of love and support from my last blog post has touched me deeply. Knowing that so many of you believe in me and encourage me to keep going fills my heart with gratitude. Because of you, I feel seen, supported, and truly blessed. I’m exactly where I’m meant to be, and it’s all thanks to this amazing community.

Thank you for being a part of this community — for your kind words, support, and the way you show up with your own creativity. I can’t wait to see what we continue to make together.

💛With love and inspiration,
Sweetpea Cyd
