Fresh inventory alert! ☀️📸✨

​I just spent a beautiful hour out on the front porch transforming a wooden bar stool into a makeshift photo studio! Who needs a fancy indoor light box when you have a gorgeous Minnesota country backdrop and perfect natural sunlight? 🌾🪵

​I took over 80 photos of all my latest handmade goodies. Swipe through to check out some of my favorite new pieces—from vibrant custom glassware and hand-decorated trinkets to beautifully detailed polymer clay designs. 🎨🖌️

​See something you love? Everything you see is available, and remember, my Commission Books are open if you want something custom-made just for you! 📝💜

I finally found the word! 🤦‍♀️✨

​I’ve been over here describing my custom work in a dozen different ways, and I completely blanked on the most important word: COMMISSIONS!

​Yes, Minna’s Creations is officially open for commission work. Whether it’s a specific painted glass design or a custom salvaged hat, if you can dream it, I want to create it for you! 🎨🖌️

​Hopefully, using the right word makes it easier for you to find me. What can I start making for you today? 👇

We love a happy crafter! ☘️🐰✨

​It has been such a joy getting back into the market groove at the Forest Lake Legion! Seeing your faces when you find the perfect painted glass or salvaged hat makes all the hard work (and even the burnt batches!) worth it.

The "Art of the Pivot" (Resilience & New Arrivals) ☘️✨

​Being a creator isn't always perfect—sometimes it’s a lesson in "expect the unexpected!"

​I’ve been hard at work on some seasonal themes for March and April. From hand-painted wine glasses (Spring bunnies and St. Paddy’s luck! 🐰🍷) to new polymer clay designs.

​The Reality Check: Swipe to see the "burnt" batch. 🔥 I had a major oven mishap where almost an entire tray of clay pieces scorched. It was heartbreaking, but I refused to let the day be a total loss!

​I managed to salvage the Lucky Pot of Gold, and it found its perfect home on this velvet rainbow hat. 🌈🎩 Sometimes the best pieces are the ones we have to fight for!

​Come see the finished products and the "survivors" tonight at the Forest Lake Legion! I’m here until 8:30 PM.

​It feels so good to be back at the Tuesday Night Market at the Forest Lake Legion! I’ll be here once a month on the second Tuesday of each month through May.

​If you're in the area tonight, come say hi! I'm here until 8:30 PM with plenty of new crafts and my usual favorites.

​📍 Location: American Legion Post 225, Forest Lake

⏰ Time: Every 2nd Tuesday | 4:00 PM – 8:30 PM
​See you at the Bazaar! 🌿

Just got a new printer to improve my products! 🖨️✨ I'm so excited to break in this bad boy and see what it can do.

​Do you have any new—or even just recent—tools or equipment you've added to your workspace? I'd love to hear about it!

​Comment below with your stories or photos of your new gear! 👇

​I hope you have an excellent day!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. My daughter has been sick and I've been taking care of her. Now everyone in the house is mostly better. So back to the swing of things I go.

I hope you are all keeping warm and healthy! Enjoy your day!

Did you already break your New Year's Resolution? (Me too!) 🧶🎨

Honestly, resolutions feel like homework. And if you're like me, you probably have a half-finished project somewhere staring at you! 😅

​Last year, my best friend showed me a better way: The 2026 Bingo of Adventure.

​Instead of stressful resolutions, you fill a Bingo board with fun mini-quests for the year.
​Fun things: "Attend a local craft fair" 🎟️ or "Visit a new town" 🗺️
​Life things: "Support a small business" 🛍️ or "Have coffee with a friend" ☕

​The goal isn't to be perfect—it's just to get a Bingo!

​I made a free PDF template for you to use. I even pre-filled a few squares (like Supporting a Small Business!) to get you started.

​🏆 PRIZE: The first person to get a Bingo and tag Minna's Creations gets a prize from me!

Have a new thing that makes things feel even more professional!

I just ordered and received my business logo stickers to place on my shopping bags and such. So excited!

Do you have anything exciting going on or coming up that you're looking forward to? I would love to hear about it.

I hope you have an amazing day!
