Free, Virtual Craft Classes

Do you love attending craft classes? I sure do! Recently, I have registered and attended lots of free, virtual craft classes. I knew about the classes at Michaels but was happily surprised to discover classes on Eventbrite and Meet Up.

Eventbrite

Meet Up

Eventbrite offers lots of free, online events.

Meet Up has lots of options, too. I am doing a weekly drawing class through Meet Up.

These classes are a great way to expand your craft abilities and meet some other creative people. Thanks to Zoom and similar formats these classes also give us a way to see and connect with others in live video. But if you missed the class, most are recorded.

Take a look at a few of them! These classes were at Michael's.

Explosion Box with Paige Evans at Michael's
She showed how to decorate this box for a birthday. So cute!

Jessie of Plaid Paints at Michael's
She used paints to make the boho floral painting. The butterfly is coming up this week.

Kathi with General Pencil at Michael's
She did a terrific drawing tutorial with tips and tricks.

Yarn Tulip Painting with Michael's
Marla used a piece of yarn in the paints to create the flowers.

I have have filled my week with these classes and it has been a joy. Hope you all join the fun especially if you want to learn something new. Be inspired!

My First Diary and 3 Journaling Styles

Welcome! Today's post is about my experience with journaling and three of my favorite styles. This post was written May 21, 2020. Journaling has been a part of my life since my pre-teen years. Like most girls, I kept a diary and hid it in a secret place. I think I got my first one as a gift and wrote about daily and special events. I remember there was this cute boy I met. I was too shy to tell anyone I liked him so I wrote about it in my diary. It was a safe place to share these new and wonderful feelings. I gotta find that journal and check it out. (Off to go find it!) Look, I found my precious little diary! Although it smells dusty and the paper has yellowed, my young words and thoughts are so sweet! Here is what I wrote May 21st. I was on a school trip to a camp called Rawhide when I was in the 6th grade, I think. "Today at Rawride and my horses name was Chinadoll. Elizabeth was so mean to sha-jauna and them. And she was flirting." LOL! This is so fu...

New Art Collection & Video

Today, I am thrilled to share with you my new art collection called "Inspired Blooms." These 16 painting were made this year, 2024. Last April, we attended a fantastic floral exhibit at South Coast Plaza Mall and I was so inspired. Shortly after this show, I sat down at my art table and starting creating my floral joys. In this video you will see the Inspired Garden Girls, a portrait and 12 floral arrangements. Check out the video. Video Link Here Painting these flowers these last four months has filled my heart with such comfort and joy. I hope these happy "Inspired Blooms" bring a smile to your face and peace to your heart like I experienced. Feel free to share this video with a friend, too. Let's spread the flower power! :)

V.P. Kamala Harris & Crocheting

" The new vice president is a crocheter." I was so happily surprised to discover this article in the Washington Post about U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris' craft skills. The title of this story is called, "Vice President Harris is Making Her Mark on the Washington-Area Crochet Scene" by Jura Koncius. Article Link HERE I enjoyed reading this article and seeing the craft community get some well deserved national attention. Take a look at this story and see what you think. If you need some knitting or crochet resources, check our my "Fiber Arts" page here on Inspired Me 411. HERE Crafts have been a relaxing activity for me and I hope the Vice President inspires others to give this craft a try. Be inspired!
