I am an elementary music teacher by trade. I love to cross stitch, crochet, paint, and draw. I create personalized art and crochet clothing such as hats, scarves, gloves for my students. I now have an Etsy shop called LaClaire Creations and take commissions via my email at laclairecreations@gmail.com!

I cannot believe it has been at least a year since I last did a journal on here. Of course most would agree 2016 is long overdue to be put out of its misery. We've had some rough roads personally too.
Gratefully I'm still teaching music with my awesome co-worker at my son's school. I did officially open up a shop on Etsy called LaClaire Creations. Not much on there right now, but I hope to change that soon with some downloadable color pages, handcrafted bookmarks, and crocheted clothing items.
In the meantime, I'm trying to finish up some requests from my students. They still ask for personalized bookmarks and have now started asking for OT
I might be on vacation from my main job of teaching, but I'm busy creating larger versions of some original pieces and trying to start an online arts & crafts store.
