We had so much fun last night to have first beaded pumpkin wreath. Thank you, Brittney, friends and my daughter Lindsey and her husband for stepping up and helping get everything going during my late arrival.
As many of you know, I work full-time during the day and just recently switched jobs so it’s made it a little difficult to navigate. Thankfully, everyone’s been so understanding and helpful. I really appreciate it!!

We had so much interest in this class that we’ve decided to operate again in October on the 27th. Just checking under our events to see upcoming classes.

I’ve always hoped that the studio would bring a place of joy and happiness. A place where people would gather to enjoy being together and creating beautiful things. A place where negative talk and thoughts are kept silent and joy fills their.
It’s a place where people learn, grow and cherish the time spent doing something creative. Perfection is never the goal but finding something inside yourself that can bring you joy is. You may not always love the things you create, but the time spent with others laughing and creating is time well spent. Each opportunity to create open doors to learning and loving art more. If something doesn’t work change it, learn from it and try again.
The studio is a safe place for people to create try and new things.

Many Blessings, Dina

Art isn’t about perfection. It isn’t about getting every brushstroke right or creating something flawless.

Art is about discovering joy, finding your voice, expressing emotions, and connecting with yourself and others. It’s about being present in the moment and allowing creativity to flow without judgment.

Sometimes a splash of color, a simple sketch, or a few moments spent creating can bring a sense of peace that words cannot. Art has a way of healing, inspiring, and reminding us to slow down and appreciate the beauty around us.

Art isn’t just something we see, it’s something we feel. And often, it’s exactly what our hearts need. 💛

I can also relate to this sometimes I feel like this is what the studio looks like. No matter how much I try to clean and organize bits and pieces still stay a disaster. How about you? Do you have a craft space and struggle to keep it organized?
