Hi everyone, ♡ Is there anything better than the beginning of fall? The cooler mornings, changing leaves, cozy sweaters, and that little pull to slow down and settle back into routines. September was such an awesome month at The Loft! It was great to see familiar faces coming back through the doors, meet so many new ones, and watch the studio fill up again with creativity, laughter, and connection. Thank you for continuing to support this little creative space of mine — it truly means so much. ♡ October is shaping up to be another fun and creative month! We have lots happening at the studio, from painting and resin to creative gatherings, visiting teachers, yoga, and of course Open Studio. There are plenty of opportunities to try something new, make something you love, or simply carve out a little time for yourself. As we move into this cozy season, I hope you’ll give yourself permission to slow down, create, and connect. Sometimes a couple of hours spent making something with your hands is exactly the reset we need. Grab a warm drink, have a peek through what’s happening this month, and hopefully I’ll see you at The Loft soon. ♡

Behind the Easel ❤️This month I thought I’d introduce you to someone who has been a pretty important part of The Loft Studios story from the very beginning — my partner in crime, of 32 years, Trav. ❤️ The funny thing is, The Loft wasn’t originally supposed to be The Loft as you know it today. My idea was simply to have a little studio where I could create and maybe teach a few classes. I pictured a cozy little space that would hold five or six people at most. Trav had other ideas. 😂 He was the one who said, “If we’re going to do it… why don’t we do it big?” And thank goodness he did. That bigger space gave my little idea room to grow into something I honestly don’t think either of us could have completely imagined at the time. A place where people come together to paint, create, try something new, laugh, connect and sometimes simply take a couple of hours for themselves. And his support certainly didn’t stop once the studio was built. He’s still the guy behind the scenes listening to my endless ideas, building things, fixing things, moving things and hearing “Hey Trav… I have an idea!” probably more often than he’d like. 😂 The Loft may have started with my little idea, but Trav was the one who encouraged me to dream a whole lot bigger. So this month, Behind the Easel is dedicated to the guy behind the girl behind the easel. ❤️ Thank you, Trav, for believing in me, supporting all my crazy ideas and helping me build something that has become so much more than I ever imagined.

As always, I am so grateful to everyone who continues to support The Loft — whether you come to a workshop, share a post, tell a friend, or simply cheer me on. Every bit of support means more to me than you probably know. But this month, I want to give an extra special thank you to my partner of 32 years, Trav. ❤️ He is truly my biggest supporter and encourager. The Loft wouldn't be what it is without him — and honestly, I'm not sure it would even exist without him! He's always there to lend a hand, help me clean up after classes, listen to my latest crazy workshop idea, and he's usually just as excited as I am to see how everyone's projects turned out. Thank you, my love, for always believing in me, encouraging my dreams, and being right there beside me through all of it. I couldn't imagine doing this without you. ❤️ Cheryl
