I’m Sadie — a mom, an artist, an advocate, and a storyteller learning as I go.

Working End began at the intersection of all the things that move me — the art that helps me process, the advocacy that gives our story purpose, and the motherhood that changed everything.

In macramé, the working end is the part of the cord that moves — the piece that threads through, ties the knots, and carries the tension. It’s what holds everything together, often quietly, behind the scenes. In life, I’ve learned that the same hands that tie knots in art also steady the ones we can’t see — the knots of fear, love, and persistence that come with raising a medically complex child and learning to keep showing up.

This space brings those threads together — art as healing, advocacy as hope, and storytelling as connection. It’s where I share what I’ve found helpful along the way: pieces made by hand, words made by heart, and the reminder that even in the tangle, there’s beauty in the work.

Because the working end is the part that moves — and so are we.
