You Don’t Have to Call Yourself an Artist to Make Something Beautifuld

So many people want to write a family story, sew a quilt, or start a custom journal, but they stop before they begin because they think, “I’m just not creative.”

As your Creativity Coordinator, I am here to change that. I join you at the very beginning, breaking down the intimidating steps of storytelling, fiber arts, and self-publishing into easy, enjoyable milestones. Together, we will bring your ideas to life and create a finished masterpiece you will be incredibly proud to display in your home or share with the world.

Turn Ideas into Handcrafted Masterpieces

Fiber Arts & Textile Design

You don’t need years of training to work with fabric and yarn. I provide friendly, step-by-step guidance in classic crocheting and sewing to help you build confidence from your very first stitch.

Looking for a unique way to decorate your home? We can also explore textile-on-canvas art, mixing fabrics, textures, and layers to design a custom, tactile masterpiece that you will be proud to hang on your wall. Whether you are holding a crochet hook for the first time or creating abstract fabric canvas art, I walk right alongside you.

Storytelling & Self-Publishing

Have a family story, memoir, or book idea inside you? I help you organize your thoughts, structure your story, and navigate the independent publishing process step-by-step to get your book in print.

Custom Journals & Paper Crafts

Resist the urge to abandon your purpose.
Resist the urge to run away  and hide.
Resist the urge to ignore truth.
Resist the urge to turn aside.
Embrace the process.

Often when we begin to work toward fulfilling our dreams or reaching a goal, we may find ourselves on a path leading us away from our destination. We get delayed by life events or mistakes we make. We may  even get sidelined due to rejection. That doesn’t mean the dream is over and not for us. It is merely a setback or a “time out”.

Instead of abandoning the dream, take time to reflect. Pray and meditate about your motives for pursuing the dream. If your conscience is clear and your motives are pure, then start analyzing the process for how you started.

  • Did you plan well?
  • Have you considered all the possibilities for success?
  • Will others benefit from your purpose?
  • What can you learn from this experience? and
  • How can you use what you learn from the setback/delay to get moving again?

If you are feeling disappointed or frustrated in your pursuit, don’t let fear and setbacks trick you into walking away from your dreams. View the struggle as an opportunity for growth, as an opportunity to get to know yourself better.

You were born to fulfill a special purpose, don’t stop until your work is finished.
