Terry's Treasures
Artist Spotlight: Renee â Yarn, Rhythm & Whimsy
Meet Renee â a powerhouse of creativity, rhythm, and charm from Shreveport Louisiana!
By day, she shapes young minds as a dedicated high school teacher. By night (and, letâs be honest, any spare minute she can find), she transforms colorful yarn into whimsical crochet critters that steal hearts and spark joy.
And her yarn stash is........legendary!
What started as a simple love for crochet quickly turned into a full-blown obsessionâyes, weâre talking walls of yarn in every color imaginable!
But Renee doesnât stop at just collecting yarnâshe brings it to life through handmade treasures that radiate comfort and joy.
Renee is also a beloved member of our dance troupe, where her quirky humor and upbeat energy light up every rehearsal. She doesnât just dance â she drums too! Youâll find her behind one of the biggest drums in our group, laying down deep, thunderous beats that echo with passion.
Renee is not only a maker, a dancer, and a teacher â sheâs also a devoted wife, mom, grandmother, and dog-mom to a joyful pack of pups, her laughter is contagious, and her talent knows no bounds.
Under the name Terryâs Treasures, Renee showcases her creations at local crafters' events and festivals, sharing her work and her warmth with the community. In addition to her fiber art, she also makes delightful hard candies that add a little sweetness to her colorful booth.
Every stitch, every swirl of candy, tells a story of dedication, love, and artistry. Whether youâre a fellow yarn enthusiast or just someone who appreciates handmade magic, Reneeâs space is a haven of inspiration and heart.
But her true superpower? Crocheting everywhere! During dance breaks, backstage at shows, and likely in her sleep â Reneeâs hands are always busy crafting adorable creations. Her handmade menagerie includes octopuses, kitties, snakes, and her crowd-favorite: the lovable âShroomieâ mushroom.
We celebrate Renee for her artistry, her authenticity, and her joyful spirit that threads through everything she touches. Whether sheâs dancing, drumming, or crocheting a creature with a big-eyed smile, Renee reminds us that creativity is a way of life â and she lives it beautifully.
Renee is truly a "Gem", pun intended!
