On a dark day, I called my Mom in a moment of desperation, knowing she probably wouldn’t be able to help. To my surprise, she showed up and sat down with me in the muck of it all.
I’d love to say the darkness sparked rainbows at that moment, but it didn’t.
Instead, God stepped in and nudged me back to creativity. What I didn’t see then was that the opposite of depression is expression.

Could learning to heal actually look like plugging into a creative outlet?

I’ll let you be the judge.

Nine years have passed since then, and I’m still here, building, teaching, expressing, and always finding a new growth edge.

One of the biggest lessons of my life is that when you’re feeling stuck, the easiest way to get unstuck is to focus outside the mind: to focus on expressing something, creating something, or helping someone do something they didn’t think they were capable of (but you had the knowledge and skill set to give it to them).

Whatever your journey looks like—the overwhelm of learning a new cutting machine, designing the perfect photo backdrop for your wedding, a mental health battle where creativity is a welcome reprieve, or just creating time and space to build a fun craft that doesn’t come with problems attached—I’m here with you.

And maybe you will find, just like I did, that the journey and the mess can actually be the most beautiful creation of them all, and a perfect craft is just the cherry on top.

Let’s go create something beautiful today…
