Kick Anxiety, Depression, Neurodiversion and just plain boredom with creativity and art!
As a mother of an anxious child, I know the inner struggle and the feeling of being a spicy disaster. I ask myself daily- how can I do better?
Here at Our Daily Gnome, we strive to help you and your child learn creative ways to control the GIANT MESSY feelings, instead of them controlling you. We understand the daily struggle as a child and a parent. We may not have all the answers- but who does?? If you know them send them our way. HAHA
Our Daily Gnome Creative Arts Center is a safe place we GNOME you will have fun. A place where being a mess doesn't matter!
Come get messy with us!
Join a club, class, special event, open craft hour or host a private party!

Our Story
We are a mother/daughter hand-made business that began as a way to help my daughter control her anxiety instead of her anxiety controlling her during the pandemic.
We realized during the isolation that she needed an outlet and a place to create. She needed people and social interaction. A place to unplug and connect.
As a mother, I felt alone and unsupported. I missed this section in prenatal training and nursing school. It is not a typical discussion at dinner parties, school functions or moms groups. What is a mother to do? How do I fix her? Can I fix her?
These BIG FEELINGS are MESSY and who better to help contain the MESS than others like us??
Thus, Our Daily Gnome was born.
Our Mission is to help others kick their anxiety, depression, neurodiversion and just plain boredom through creativity and art!
Faith’s Story- we are here for you!

We are so happy we found the sewing classes at Our Daily Gnome! It has been the perfect fit of our daughter!!!
Santa was so sweet and the kids loved all the crafts as well.
This class was such an awesome experience. The owner of Our Daily Gnome and the facilitator of the class, Megan were really wonderful and not to mention we each got to take a Pampered Chef platter home. I would definitely attend this class again and highly recommend it. Thanks ladies for a wonderful night!
LOVE IT. Quality work. Great short and design. Perfect design for my ministry... Positive.
Wonderful small business an asset to the community.
Class was canceled due to inclement weather. Rescheduled for Saturday, October 15.
Thank you so much for a wonderful experience for my daughters 8th birthday. Her and all her friends had such a great time and love their gnome Yorkie puppies they made. It will definitely be one of her most memorable ones with her friends. Thank you
I signed my daughter up for a Sewing series with Our Daily Gnome. Shje was unable to make one of the classes and Dawn graciously allowed her to come on a different day to allow her to complete her project. Dawn was very attentive, patient, and encouraging. I will definitely be signing my kids up for more classes. What a wonderful shop that fosters confidence, skill building, and creates a safe place for our kids.
