The studio lights are back on, the torches are lit, and there’s that familiar hum of the tapping hammers and polishing wheels in the air again. After a much-needed winter break, The CMD Team is officially back in the studio — bodies rested, batteries recharged, and ready to charge into a brand new, baby soft year.
All Ready-to-ship orders placed over the break will all ship this week! If you’ve been waiting on a made-to-order piece, I’m happy to report that production officially resumed this week. Orders are flowing, benches are busy, and it feels so good to be back at it. If there’s a little lull, know that everything will ship soon and we truly appreciate your patience. We never rush our work as quality and care is always top of mind.
And because this sweet ‘lil ritual has become a fun way to kick off the year, we’re keeping the January tradition alive…
To celebrate the start of 2026, I’m giving you $26 in CMD Bucks to use toward your next purchase of $100 or more. Think of it as a small thank you for being here — and a little nudge to treat yourself to something meaningful as the year begins. Use code 26FOR26 at checkout to save. Your $26 CMD Bucks will be applied instantly and can be used toward any piece online or in-store. These 'Bucks will expire Friday, January 31st at midnight PT, so use ‘em while you’ve got ‘em!
January always feels like a quiet reset — a moment to settle back into rhythm, revisit intention, and slowly build momentum. While we’re easing back in, I can promise you this: we have a lot up our sleeves for the year ahead. New designs, thoughtful updates, creative experiments, and some long-dreamed-about ideas that are finally ready to take shape.
Stay tuned for some very exciting travel plans that will bring CMD cross country for a couple months (more on that soon!)
For now, I’m simply grateful to be back at the bench, doing what I love, and starting another year alongside this incredible community.
Here’s to steady hands, good energy, and a beautiful year ahead.
With gratitude,
Colleen

As the year comes to a close, I’ve been sitting with a deep sense of gratitude and reflection. 2025 was a full year — creatively, emotionally, and energetically. It stretched me, grounded me, challenged me, and ultimately reminded me why I chose this path all those years ago. Here’s a look back at the year [...]
