About Me

My name is Danna and I have always lived in a creative household.  I am the daughter of two creative people: my dad is a watercolor artist, my mom is a writer and amateur musician.  I got genes from both.  I have been crafting all my life and I still sing in the church choir.  I enjoy doing paper crafts, making jewelry, sewing, and quilting.

Today I live in a creative household with my husband of 32 years. My craft/sewing room is my happy place and most of the time I enjoy solitude in this room.  My husband is a musician, so while I craft I can hear him playing piano or guitar. We passed on creative genes to our daughter who teaches fourth grade, plays violin, and makes jewelry, and to our son, who is a percussionist, teacher, and composer.

I believe everyone is creative, and I enjoy calling-forth the creativity in others. I teach sewing to children and adults, private lessons and group lessons. When someone cries “I did it! I can sew!” it ‘s music to my ears. I am an organized creative person, using both right brain and left brain skills--how else would I plan lessons, organize all those supplies, and start class on time.

During the 2020 Covid pandemic I began my YouTube channel “Sew-Learn-Create” where I share sewing, crafting, and DIY videos to encourage other creative souls.    

I started my Pink Lemonade blog as a place to share my creative adventures and encourage others to find their creative passions.   We’ve all heard the quip “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade” but creative people prefer pink lemonade.
