Here’s the truth: Life is busy.
Your calendar is full, your to-do list never ends, and carving out time for yourself always seems to come last. You scroll past the workshops, think “Oh, that looks lovely”—and then keep moving.
But deep down, you want it.
Time to slow down. Time to reconnect with your hands and heart.
Time to feel that spark again.
That’s why our creative workshops exist—to help you press pause, get a little messy, and create something beautiful (even if you haven’t held a paintbrush or needle in years). Because the hard truth? If you don’t make time for this, no one else will.
So here’s your gentle nudge:
Make space for joy. Make space for creativity.
Make space for you. All that you will need to do is turn up.
The Honest Truth: This is for You If…
– You keep saying “I miss doing creative things” but never make time for it
– You’re craving connection—with yourself, with others, and with something more meaningful than another scroll on your phone
– You’re tired of running on empty and ready to feel inspired again
– You long for beauty, joy, and a bit of quiet in a busy, noisy world
– You miss using your hands for something other than multitasking
– You want to feel proud of something you made, even if it’s imperfect
It’s Not for You If…
– You’re looking for a fast-paced, perfection-focused class
– You want a polished product more than a nourishing experience
– You don’t enjoy slowing down or getting lost in the creative process
– You’d rather tick off tasks than sit in stillness
– You’re not ready to make time for yourself (yet)

Crafting is more than just a hobby for me; it’s a cherished part of my life and heritage. Inspired by my grandmother, a master crafter who spent her life creating beautiful, handmade gifts for others, I've developed a deep appreciation for the transformative power of crafting. This passion drives me to offer retreats and workshops that go beyond teaching new skills—they’re about connecting with yourself and others through the art of creation.
