"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun.” – Mary Lou Cook (1932-2016)
Craft. Connect. Thrive.
Women's Circle
I have been a crafter all my life. As a kid I was always making something, and as an young adult I had a career in the arts as a set builder for film and television. My favourite crafts are painting, sewing, quilting and Sashiko stitching. I also love helping women, so when I thought about hosting a women's circle it occured to me that crafting and personal development are the perfect marriage for a fantastic, meaningful event.
Here's why this works so well -
1. Creativity Unlocks Conversation
Crafting is naturally meditative and relaxing, and can lower barriers, making it easier for women to open up and share. As hands are busy, hearts often follow.
2. Community & Connection
An informal, creative setting feels safe and welcoming. Women bond over shared projects and stories, sharing skills, helping each other in subtle but powerful ways, building a supportive network.
3. Relaxed Creativity
Blending gentle coaching with hands-on crafting creates a calming, enjoyable atmosphere. As we work on our projects, we can unwind, be present, and simply enjoy the process-making space for authentic conversation and connection without pressure or expectation.
If this sounds like you please join our weekly women’s circle where creativity meets connection meets personal growth. Bring your favorite craft project, sewing, knitting, or anything you love, and settle in for an evening of inspiration, gentle coaching, and supportive sisterhood.

Our Purpose
The purpose of our women’s circle is to create a welcoming, heart-centered space where women can come together to craft, connect, and grow. Rooted in a love for sewing, decorative stitching, sketching, and all forms of creative expression, this group is designed for women who seek both creative inspiration and meaningful community.
As we gather each month, we’ll each bring our own craft projects-whether it’s sewing, stitching, embroidery , or any creative pursuit that is portable, and enjoy the simple joy of making with our hands. While we create, we’ll also weave in supportive coaching conversations, gentle personal growth prompts, and opportunities to share our stories in a nurturing, non-judgmental environment.
Our circle is about more than just crafting; it’s about helping each woman thrive-creatively, emotionally, and spiritually. Here, you’ll find encouragement, inspiration, and genuine connection with like-minded women, all while exploring your own creative journey.

Who is it for?
All women in midlife who wish to craft, connect and learn along the way.
What to Expect
This isn’t a traditional craft workshop. While crafting is our focus, this circle is about carving out personal time, connecting with others, and enjoying a relaxed, welcoming space. Bring any project you’re working on—everyone and every craft is welcome, no matter your skill level. You’re free to simply enjoy the atmosphere, but if you’d like, you can share your experiences or challenges. Sharing can help unravel problems and spark creative solutions among supportive, like-minded women.
