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

Design a functional piece of art from scratch. I guide you through creating custom journals and memory books, blending beautiful papers and bindings into a keepsake built entirely by you.

Five and fifty years
Blessings, trials, mountain tops
Valleys full of joy.

Should I count them all
I would fill page after page
With words and sketches
Illustrating Your presence
And favor over my life.

I met a 92 year old woman today who really touched my heart. She bragged about her age and the fact that should could still get around, she had good eyesight, she hears well, and she can still take care of herself. I asked her who does her nails, because they are very prettily manicured. She responded, “I do them myself. I can still do lots of things!” I want to be like Ms. Alice when I grow up!

My 56th birthday is Monday and I think I’m on track to catch up to Ms. Alice.

I spent most of the last week doing things I normally would not do.

  • I climbed a latter to pick peaches (I don’t do outdoor activities).
  • I taught my puppy to walk on a leash beside me and not run ahead of me (I usually leave pet care to the males in the family).
  • I helped paint a new church (I am sore all over).
  • I baked a peach pound cake (I would nerve put fruit in a pound cake!)
  • I learned the ins and outs of a literacy program at an elementary school (I’ve taught math for sixteen years.).
  • I worked outside in the yard of a perfect stranger (I am “allergic” to fresh air).
  • I displayed two books I’ve written at a newly opened coffee shop in my neighborhood (I’m not pushy).
  • I purchased and shelled a half bushel of peas (I had help from Granddaughter #4).
  • I canned fresh peas and peaches.

I have had lots of fun this week. I am looking forward to the next page in my life. 55 is ending with lots of interesting things and I believe 56 is going to be spectacular.
