Artistry Mix Studio Welcome! My name is Sharon. I believe that women often put their own needs last in the busy, modern world.

That is why Iโ€™m making it my mission to help women discover creativity. Whether it is crafting, needlework, or something in between.

Do you have an abundance of craft supplies?
Iโ€™m pretty sure I could almost put Michaels out of business! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Life has been busy lately, and I havenโ€™t been in crafting mode much. Iโ€™ve been trying to keep up with the yard work, get to the gym, and just keep moving.

The truth is, I could sit and craft or crochet ALL day. And on a rainy day, sometimes I do! ๐Ÿ˜†

But Iโ€™m also trying to take care of ๐™ฉ๐’‰๐™ž๐’” body โ€” lose some weight, maintain muscle, protect my bones and keep moving well.

As much as I love creating, sitting at my craft table all day doesnโ€™t help with any of that.

So Iโ€™m trying to find the balance โš–๏ธ between doing what I love and taking care of myself.

Iโ€™m definitely not perfect. Some days I really donโ€™t feel like being active. But I keep trying.

Another lazy, dreary day in Iowa and honestly, Iโ€™m a tad exhausted ๐Ÿ˜…from the last 2 weeks of activities - so I decided to relax and crochet a chunky pumpkin to sit beside the wooden ones I made at retreat.

There are SO MANY crochet pumpkin patterns out there, I enjoy trying as many as I can.

I spent last 2 days helping my daughter-in-law, the caterer, prep and assemble 250 charcuterie boxes!

Trust me when I say it takes a creative mind to figure out how to create a visually pleasing, and delicious presentation in a small box! (And she says she doesnโ€™t have one, I disagree). I think we did pretty good though, donโ€™t you?

After a long Tuesday of cutting pounds of cheeses, folding pounds of salami into roses, and other tasks.

I then spent the night with granddaughter and of course- we painted!!!!! Using her kids tempera paint, no less (which Iโ€™ve never actually used)! How fun!!!๐Ÿง‘๐Ÿปโ€๐ŸŽจ๐ŸŽจ๐ŸซŸ

After taking a little break to work on my Kinusaiga designs, Iโ€™m back to my Diamond Art! Iโ€™ve finally made it about 2/3 of the way through. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Iโ€™ll be stepping away from my craft room for a couple of days to get creative in the kitchen, helping my daughter-in-law with her catering business for an upcoming event.

Different kind of creating, but I love it all! โค๏ธ

When youโ€™re a crafter and you need some tiny embellishments, have you thought of using โ€˜nailโ€™ rhinestones or stickers?

Day 2 of our 3-Day craft retreat! Today I was teaching the Kinusaiga Japanese fabric painting technique to the gals.

They are hard at work and I will show you the finished paintings tomorrow.
