After running my business out of my home for six years, I now have a creative space named “The Studio that God Gave Me.”
There’s everything here – from the beautiful leaded-glass ceiling high windows, 700 square feet of open space for sewing machines, fabric storage, a 4 ft X 9 ft worktable, shelving for art books, to a sitting area for guests, and an occasional rejuvenating nap for me!
The Studio . . .” is way above what I could have asked for. But that’s how God works. Oh, did I say it is located within a vintage Gothic church? I’ve only been here for four months, but my textile art business, Rhonda Hardy Designs, has increased 50% in sales.
Thank you, friends and family, who have given money, items, and encouragement, to make The Studio . . . complete. Thank you, God, for making my dream a reality.
