Note From Marisa:
“If you have never crocheted before, I recommend that you obtain some medium weight yarn, a size J-10 hook, and a tapestry needle. Then watch the Yarnspirations videos linked below and follow my instructions for making a basic rectangular bookmark. Alternatively, you can attend our Crochet Community on Thursday, February 19. There are lots of other resources available on the Internet, especially YouTube videos.
If you do not already know the chain and single crochet stitches, the beginning of this class may be frustrating, and you will be less likely to complete the project.”

Conscious + Creative: Couples Therapeutic Art Workshop
Are you seeking a fresh perspective on your relationship journey?
Do you crave a therapeutic experience that goes beyond the traditional therapy room? Perhaps you're looking for a nonjudgmental space where you and your loved one can reconnect, reflect, and grow—guided by Ashley James, a compassionate professional that is a Certified Recreation Therapy, with certification in trauma-informed expressive arts, and training in the Gottman Method.
Relationship Therapeutic Art offers a creative space for partnerships in all seasons—whether you're married, dating, engaged, or long-time partners. It goes beyond talk therapy by incorporating creative expression as a powerful tool for connection. Through art-making, couples can access emotions that may be difficult to articulate, explore shared meaning, and engage in a new, often more intuitive form of communication.
In our couples art sessions, you’ll explore emotions, strengthen communication, and deepen your connection through the power of artistic expression. My goal is to help you and your partner discover new ways to connect, heal, and thrive—together.
This unique approach offers a nonjudgmental space for couples to rediscover one another—fostering deeper harmony, intimacy, and resilience within the relationship.
In these sessions, you can be expected to integrate principles from frameworks such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, and other therapeutic elements such as The 5 Love Languages, that will inform our arts-based approach below:
Framework - C.A.R.E.S
C: Connection - focuses on collaboration to develop background information about each partner and the relationship as a whole.
A: Accountability - emphasizes the important benefits of self-care and how each partner defines their version of self-care.
R: Rituals - clarification of each partner’s values and how to work collaboratively with one another.
E: Empathy - learn about how each partner defines their own expression of love to maintain emotional needs.
S: Support - map out your journey of life both individually and together while also considering where you want to go.
Dates:
November 16, 1-3:30pm

4 SPOTS | Pet Portrait Holiday Ornaments
Paint Your Pet, Ornament Style!
I work with you to help you create an artistic representation of your beloved pet, or any animal you love. Choose between a wooden piece or ceramic bulb!
IMPORTANT: After you register for the event you will need to send ONE photo of the animal you plan to paint. Send it as an attachment to admin@worksfromtheheart.org.
The photo that you decide to use needs to be in focus, or as clear as you can get it, with good lighting. It is best if the photo is a close up and high quality.
RESERVATIONS ARE ESSENTIAL because I need to collect the images and sketch them prior to the painting day.
When we all meet to paint, you will be ready to go with your pet or animal image.
Once you arrive, I will work with you to help you select paint colors for your portrait. I will also provide some general instructions about painting with the paints, how to mix colors, how to use the different brushes, etc. I will also provide specific art instruction and guidance for your specific portrait.
The cost of the class includes all materials as needed to complete your painting.
Because I need to pre-sketch your portrait, and I have limited spaces available, there will be no refunds for no shows.

From Belle Bougie
At Belle Bougie, we handcraft unique soy candles in 100% recycled containers—breathing new life into what most people simply throw away. What began during the pandemic as a way to repurpose empty wine bottles into handmade gifts for loved ones has since blossomed into a full-fledged passion for upcycling.
Today, we use everything from wine bottles and aluminum cans to glass yogurt jars and other one-of-a-kind containers, all sourced from our own home or generously donated by friends and the community. We never purchase new vessels—every piece has a story, and every candle is a beautiful example of sustainable creativity. Each one is made with 100% soy wax and clean-burning oils, so they’re as kind to the environment as they are to your space.
