Craft-Life Balance Workshop
- THRIFT: When you walk into the thrift store, do you feel overwhelmed by the choices? I’ll help you develop a plan so that you can be successful in furnishing your home and building your wardrobe out of delightful secondhand pieces, while still having fun at the thrift shop!
- CRAFT: If you’re suffering from the dreaded “craft graveyard” of old projects, materials and tools piling up in your home, then this class is for you. I’ll walk you through how to craft with intention, choose your battles, and give yourself permission to experiment.
