I’m so excited to tell you about a brand-new book I’m part of: 365 Life Shifts: Pivotal Moments That Changed Everything. It contains 365 inspiring true-life stories from over 250 beautiful souls all around the world, and I’m so happy to share my words in it! This special book is filled with over 450 pages of such positive, loving energy, and we know that it’s going to be so uplifting for so many. Topics include: finding the strength to go down a new path, saying yes or no to a relationship, bravely living authentically, receive from beyond, and everyday moments that were infused with extraordinary soulfulness that shifted the author’s life. All of the stories are intended to uplift, inspire, and remind you of just how magical and far reaching a life shift can truly be.  In my piece, “Painting the Fabric of my Life,  I talk about how I use the creative arts as a form of self-care and healing in my life.   If you want to read this piece – and 364 others – I hope you’ll check out this wonderful book. It makes a great gift for friends, family, and anyone else who loves to be inspired and amazed…including yourself!  to purchase it https://www.365lifeshifts.com

I have been working on updating my Crafty Diva product line and books.  It is my goal to launch my designs and products on line, at craft shops and art shows this summer.  Last week I received the prototypes in the mail.  Everything looks so gorgeous!  I'm very excited and can't wait for the launch.  I'm self publishing everything so its a bit of a challenge, but the rewards will be worth it.  This dream has been in the making for the past 14 years.  Never give up on your Dreams!

Below are my original craft kits and fabric designs.  I'm updating everything!

​Today was finishing day for Martha and Claudia. Jane is starting a new sweater and Lynn is knitting an entrelac pullover sweater for her husband. It's gorgeous of course! I can't wait until Martha's entrelac sweater reveal next week. She and Claudia are going to learn a new technique also. Stay tuned...

History behind Soul Sistah's Circus

​Over sixteen years ago we met and our Soul connection was through art-to-wear. We had a vision of leading women's creative events and artful ventures. We made several attempts along the way to create our common vision. Over the years through challenges and celebrations we learned to embody and cultivate our dream. We had a lot of soul work to walk out to bring us to this point. We had to almost come undone as we both faced health and financial challenges. Finally realizing that all of this experience made us stronger and more determined to lead these joyful events. Now we have embraced our own inner Soul guides and are ready to lead and guide you along your own soulful path to Joyful adventure through the creative arts and empowerment through clothing and accessories.

My friend Suzanne and I will be launching a series of collaborative workshops this year.  ​

Our Vision is to bring women together to celebrate and honor themselves, each other, and their dreams. We offer a FUN and nurturing environment for this process at our workshops, events, and retreats that we create and facilitate for our clients.
By using your personal SOUL style, the CREATIVE arts, and your INTUITION as your guides, we will lead you on a wonderful, creative journey of self-discovery.
Our belief is that your life will transform when you take the time to ENVISION, EMBODY and EMBRACE all that you can dream and imagine. When you open your heart to possibility, you then ALLOW yourself to manifest the JOY, ABUNDANCE, and MAGIC that you desire in your life.
Because we have journeyed through the same process that we take you through during our workshops and retreats, we not only BELIEVE this! WE KNOW IT!
Through this creative process we have both manifested magic in our lives beyond measure!
