Secret Society of Crafters – Hearts on Fiber
Jan. 11 @ 10:00 a.m.
208 South Main Street
Crafting is more fun with other people, which is why we created the “Secret” Society of Crafters. The title says “secret,” but we’re a not-so-secret, not-so-exclusive group who meets to stitch, craft, crochet, knit, sit and talk. We may or may not talk about knitting, yarn bombing, hand dying, or the latest stitch. We may even talk about world domination. You won’t know unless you come. Connect with crafters in the area, find the motivation to pick up that project again, and benefit from the wisdom of a passionate crafting group. The “Secret” Society of Crafters meets outside the store every Wednesday and Sunday at 10:00 a.m. weather permitting. We hope to see you there!
Davidson Branch Library – Creating Boundaries That Stick
Jan. 11 @ 11:00 a.m.
Davidson Branch Library
Join Heather Roberts, Business Consultant, Coach and Founder of Extraordinary Women in a workshop to help you learn how to create boundaries that stick both at home and at work. This program will be offered in person at the Davidson Branch and on Zoom. “The concept of Work-Life Balance is a myth. Instead as women we need to set boundaries, create systems, leverage your strengths, and get support. By doing this for myself I have been able to create the life that I desire in my professional and my personal life.”
Bio: In 2013, Heather started a 7+ figure throw pillow company that was a top 5 supplier on Wayfair, a boutique online site supporting craftsmen and women around the United States, and a mentorship community that teaches women business owners there’s a new way to have it all.
