We had the good fortune of connecting with Denise Robinson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Denise, what’s the most difficult decision you’ve ever had to make?
Most difficult was to take that leap of faith to start a business my business. The unsettling of the unknown. Will I do will, will people like it, will they buy. It’s really hard not knowing what to expect.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Every item I create is made with love. I love what I do and I hope every loves what I do. Everything is handcrafted in my home. I dedicate my time and make sure everything is as prefect as it can get…When you are doing something that you do it not work its a pleasure to wake up and look forward to starting your day.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Knowing my best friend it would be a late breakfast. I believe we both would be up early crafting first, (LOL). We probably start our relaxation around 9:30 at IHop for some breakfast.. After that knowing us probably hit HOBBY LOBBY or Michael’s for a little craft shopping. This might take some time. SO much to see. I thinking now its about 1/1:30pm.. We probably go have some lunch not sure of where-last minute girls… Then head to the Mall for some more shopping. After this probably head. we probably make a little dinner have some wine talk about how much money spend and decide and what project we should start first. I know she probably would not stay a whole week just a weekend trip.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My husband John Collins and a very good friend Lethia Gaymon. My husband encourages my decisions and step along this journey. He is very supportive and helpful.. He promotes my business all the time. Lethia is my sound board. We bounce ideals off each other all the time. She is honest and supportive. We learn off each other ideals and mistakes. The both of them are my rock.
