Interview with Heidi Baumert, owner
Q: How did you get involved in this business?
A: I am a Colorado native who spent 15 years as an executive in the corporate world and was ready for a new challenge. I have always considered myself creative and really like crafts. I knew there were many people like myself who wanted to take some time for themselves where they can express their creativity and have a sanctuary.
Q: What distinguishes you from other businesses in your category?
A: Easy Peasy Crafting & Cocktails is a one-of-a-kind business where we focus on making home décor crafts versus just painting. We are the only crafting business that has more than 4,000 square feet dedicated to crafting, social gathering, events and party planning, and that’s more square feet then any other crafting business in the state. We also have woodshop crafts that empower women to learn how to use power tools and a large diverse selection of classes with and without professional instructors. We are the only crafting business that has a full bar and food, and we offer more then just wine and beer.
Q: What do you like best about your line of work?
A: The opportunity to offer a sanctuary and help to empower women to take time for themselves to imagine, relax, create, have fun, socialize and learn new skills.
Q: What is your business’ biggest challenge?
A: Getting the word out and letting people know what we have to offer.
Q: Something people might be surprised to learn about you or your business:
A: They might be surprised to learn that I’m not a professional artist, but I have hired some professional crafting instructors who are definitely artistic.
