Today at Open Craft, these wonderful ladies came to create, connect, and share lots of conversation and laughter!

Each person chose a different project, and I loved seeing their creativity come to life. That is what Open Craft is all about—choosing something you love, taking time for yourself, and enjoying the company of others.

A special thank-you to Theresa for opening the studio today and making Open Craft possible while I am away! I truly appreciate you! 💕

Thank you to everyone who spent part of their Saturday crafting with us at C and A Designs MN!

There have been a lot of miles behind us these past couple of days, but it’s been such a wonderful trip! We’ve had the chance to explore some fun places along the way, make great memories, and enjoy the journey.

One of the biggest highlights so far has definitely been seeing Niagara Falls. Pictures don’t do it justice—the power and beauty of the falls are absolutely incredible! It was one of those moments that makes you stop, take it all in, and simply appreciate God’s amazing creation.

✨ Who remembers making friendship bracelets? ✨

I was digging through some old memories and decided to see if I could still make one… and guess what? I actually remembered how! 😄

It got me thinking… these are making a comeback, and they are so relaxing to make while chatting with friends.

Would anyone be interested if I hosted a Friendship Bracelet Night at C and A Designs MN?

🩵 No experience needed
🎨 Lots of thread colors to choose from
👯 Come relax, create, and connect

Drop a ❤️ if you’d come or tag a friend who would love to join you!

I’d love to know if this is something you’d enjoy before I put it on the calendar.

Do you ever just feel like the world is flying by you in a blink of an eye?! This morning I was able to take a nice stroll through some woods. I haven’t done that in a long time. It definitely was nice to take in all the scenery! Gave me some time to reflect!!
Have a great day!

What an amazing afternoon at Paddlefish Brewery! 💙

These talented ladies created some absolutely beautiful faux glass sun catchers, and I love how every single one turned out completely different. Even though some started with the same project, each person chose their own colors and made it uniquely their own. That’s one of my favorite parts of teaching—watching creativity shine in so many different ways!

From bold, vibrant color combinations to soft, subtle blends, every piece reflected its maker’s personality and style. There truly isn’t a right or wrong way to create, and these projects are the perfect example of that.

Thank you to everyone who came out, laughed, created, and made the afternoon so much fun! And a huge thank you to Paddlefish Brewery for hosting us. I can’t wait to craft with you all again soon!

Which color combination is your favorite? Let us know in the comments! 🎨✨
