Okay… who else is falling for the porch goose trend?

A goose with an outfit for every season? I can see how this becomes a whole personality!

Our new Hi Jolly Goose porch sign has me wondering… should we add more goose designs to the collection?

Seasonal signs, door hangers, shelf sitters… how much goose is too much goose? 👀

Are you loving this trend? Tell me what you’d want to make!

Christmas Ornament & Countdown Class

Join us for a festive afternoon in the studio on Sunday, November 29th at 2:00 pm!

We’re combining two Christmas favourites in one class. You can make ornaments for your tree or to give as gifts, create a Christmas countdown to bring out year after year, or work on both!

Choose the ornaments you love and make as many as you’d like. The photos show a few examples, and we’ll be posting more ornament options soon.

This class is kid-friendly for children over the age of 8, as long as they’re able to sit and enjoy creating. Bring a friend or family member and spend the afternoon making something special together!

Send us a message if you’d like to join us or have any questions.
You can reserve a spot here ( and choose your items later) AS we are adding even more pieces this week!)
This class WILL sell out. It is a popular one every year, so if you're thinking about it... do it ;)

One of the biggest challenges I have lately is simply getting the word out about our classes! With how Facebook works these days, I know a lot of our posts aren't reaching everyone, and I feel like so many people don't even know what we have coming up.
Here is a peak-more coming!

TEXTURED TREE CLASSES
We only have a few spots left!

November 6th – 4 spots remaining
November 8th – 2 spots remaining

https://www.bydesign-decor.com/product-page/textured-christmas-tree-oval-class
If you've been thinking about joining us for one of these, now's a great time to grab a spot!

HOLIDAY DECOR WORKSHOPS

These are our make-what-you-love classes! Choose from porch signs, door hangers, wall decor and so much more. You can pick something from our website or reach out about a custom design.

I'll be sharing more details and examples of what you can make!
Book your seat here!

PRIVATE WORKSHOPS & SELF-LED PARTIES

We still have lots of availability for private studio workshops, and don't forget about our self-led parties!

You can organize your own get-together, have everyone choose their projects, and enjoy creating together on your own schedule.

For self-led parties, you can place your orders anytime through our website. Just make sure everyone includes the hostess's name with their order so we can keep everything together!

AND HERE'S WHERE I COULD REALLY USE YOUR HELP!

If you see one of our class posts this week, even a quick like, comment or share helps get it in front of more people.

It's just me behind the scenes trying to keep up with the designing, cutting, painting, packing, classes, website and everything else that comes with running this little business.

I absolutely love what I do. I just need a little help making sure people know we're here and what we have to offer!

Thank you so much for continuing to support By Design DIY Decor. It really does mean a lot!

Your holiday craft get-together starts here!

Gather your friends, family or coworkers for a private class at our North Gower studio—or host a self-led craft night at home!

With a group of 6 or more, the hostess receives $50 off her own piece!

There aren’t many weekend studio spots left, so message us soon if you have a date in mind. Enjoy a relaxed class with supplies, tools and guidance provided while everyone creates something they love.

Prefer to host at home? Our self-led classes are easy to organize and come with everything you need, including your projects, paint, supplies and instructions. Choose a time and place that works for your group—there’s no need to work around studio availability!

Ordering for your self-led class is simple:

Have everyone choose and order their project from the DIY Kits section of our website.

Include your event date and hostess’s name in the order notes so we can group your orders together.

Once all your group’s orders are in, we’ll message to arrange pickup of your kits together.

A fun night with friends, a little creativity and something to bring home—or keep right at home!
