Thank you for your patience...

Hello from Craft Corner.

For the next few weeks, Craft Corner's hours will be adjusted week by week. I hate to do this, but here is why:

My mom is at the end of her struggle with stage 4 breast cancer. These last couple of weeks have been a downhill slide and as a result she is now on hospice and we do not know how much longer she will be with us.

So...I have made a choice to spend as much time as possible with her. And since I am a 'one woman shop' this means that I have to give up some of my open hours in order to do so. Normally, when something comes up, my husband or a couple of friends (or my mom)have filled in...but they have been so busy filling in and helping out with other responsibilities (kids and house) I am foregoing and I do not want to ask one more thing of them. I also have vendors who have offered to cover the shop...but that is something I want to be able to plan a little bit for (training, etc.) and I just feel the easier route at this point is just to lessen my hours as needed.

So with that said, my hours for this week will be:

Friday, April 12th: 9-3
Saturday, April 13th: 11-3

I will determine next weeks hours based on my mom's health next week.

I really appreciate the numerous thoughts and prayers that are coming my way. I really appreciate your patience and understanding. I hope you will always remember Craft Corner for those special gifts. And that I will do whatever I can to serve you.

Thank you...

Nicole

Sorry...

Due to illness of a family member, Craft Corner will be closed today (April 3rd). The rest of the week will be determined after today. So sorry for any inconvenience. Your patience and understanding is much appreciated!

I will try to update here, but just in case, please call 402-984-2816 ahead of time to make sure I am open. If I am not, there is still a chance my husband could hop over and open for you.

Thanks again.

hours change for this week...

Hey everyone!

Due to the bad winter storm we have coming this way, I have made an adjustment to my hours for the week:

Tomorrow (Wednesday)-while the weather isn't supposed to arrive until later in the day, I have decided to just be open per request. This is partly due to a late school start for my kiddos and the unknown time of when the yucky weather will start. I can be there in 5 minutes, just call me at 402-984-2816 and I can hop over!

Thursday-I will plan to be closed, unless for some reason the storm is not as bad as expected.

Friday-Will be determined later, depending on the weather. Please call ahead.

Saturday-Regular hours, 10-3.

Stay safe everyone!

Happy Hearts!

November Vendor of the Month!

I am happy to introduce you to November's Vendor of the Month, Kristen Minkler, aka The Broken Board. Kristen is extremely talented and makes some beautiful wood signs and decor pieces for the shop. Here is a little bit about Kristen:

Kristen Minkler
Wife to Clayton (12 years) Mother to Jayden 9years, Rallen 5 years, and a new little one in November!
Nurse at the local clinic in Phillipsburg for 4 years and hospital for 6 years prior to that.
Love to do anything crafty. I started by doing my kids scrapbooks and it has grown from there.

Bio: I grew up on a small farm in North Central Kansas. I went to Kensington School. There was about 500 people in the town. I love being around people and kids and creating with others. I took woodworking in High School and loved that. I had started out looking in to a woodworking career but was afraid I would not be able to make it, so switched to nursing. Even though I switched career paths I still have the love of woodworking and crafting. My husband and I were out fixing fence one day and I spotted some wood that I thought would make a great sign for myself. I started my new venture with redoing things in my own house. I have made lots of signs and custom décor, up to my own bedroom furniture for myself. I had friends asking me to make them items as well. We have made several family outings to find wood out of old barns and old window frames. I love being able to bring some of the old buildings back to life in a new way. Many evenings you can find me out in the garage after the kids are in bed. It is a wonderful form of stress relief !

My most popular items right now are the custom signs that I have been creating. I also have been doing some designs on old windows, glass etching, making shelves, and some bigger items. If there is something that you would like made just ask and I can probably make it.

I am so thankful to have a husband that has helped me along with my projects and finding the old wood or great finds. I am grateful to have a hobby that I enjoy doing and also bringing special pieces to others homes. I enjoy making custom orders, and coming up with new ones that can be treasured by others as well.

I am thankful to be able to display and sell my craft items in Nicole’s shop. I enjoy visiting the shop and seeing what everybody else has created as well.

And I am happy to have her items in the shop! Here are some photos of items she currently has in the shop. More will be coming this month!

I love that many of her items are functional...with clips to hang items on, etc. She really does beautiful work.

Be sure to stop in and check out Kristen's items!

Happy November!
