3 weeks ago by craftsanity It was great to recharge my teacher batteries while leading an embroidery workshop today at Aquinas College. The vibe is so positive when I teach art for mental wellness. What an uplifting experience! More of this, please. P.S. The orange piece was stitched by a kind student who embroidered for the first time today. So awesome. : ) #craftsanitypress #letsstitch #craftsanityworkshops #stitch #embroidery #handprinted #crafttherapy #arttherapy #aquinascollege #wellness @aquinas_chws

1 week ago by craftsanity I love how my creative work always circles back around to projects I absolutely love. Soon, I will be loading up a vintage suitcase with little bits of inspiring fabrics and paper hexagons to share with students at this semester’s finals relaxer. I’ll be teaching an English paper piecing workshop at the college where I spend most of my time teaching journalism. This will be a refreshing change of pace that I’m really looking forward to. I’ll be putting my good crocs on for this one. : ) #craftsanityworkshops #epp #englishpaperpiecing #hexies #hexagons #handstitched #slowstitching #finalsrelaxer @grandrapidscc #grcc #craftsanity #relax
