The world seems to be a bit of a mess these days and it's seen everywhere. On the news, social media and even running into the curmudgeon types at the grocery store. Then, add in all of the day to day things that life throws at us such as laundry, kids and figuring out what's on the menu for dinner. It's hard to find a moment to sit and just be. However, when we do find those 5 minutes, we often feel guilty for taking a breather because there's always (always) something that needs to be done (I mean, do we even need clean clothes?)
Insert the wonderful world of crafting!
Think of it as a brief escape from life and to just give yourself that time to drown everything out and put yourself back together. Studies show that your chosen craft is a positive outlet for mental health. By focusing on a sewing pattern, crocheting a repetitive stitch sequence or designing a scrapbook layout, your mind is focused on that very task and it creates a calming state of mind as it's just you and the rhythm of your project.
Once you are finished said project, the sense of accomplishment is wild especially if you are new to your chosen craft kit or project. If you are crocheting for the first time and your stitches work out - that's a huge deal!! Also, crafting doesn't have to be a solo mission! Gather up some friends, lay out some card kits, brew your favourite tea blend and get creative together. It's a perfect "girl's night in" by connecting with your best people and getting in some much needed laughs along the way.
So, grab your favourite kits, throw on some tunes and disappear from the world. Even if it's just for a short time!

With all the noise that surrounds us, it's easy to get pulled in. Especially with the news of the world bringing us down. That's why it's important to take a night here and there to shut everything down, and push aside that pesky voice that sometimes gets in the way with "I should be doing XYZ". This is your time to sink into a big comfy chair, sip on that cup of tea and work on your craft project. If you feel peaceful, then stay there for as long as you need. You deserve this time!
Think back to a handmade gift you’ve received. Chances are, you still have it tucked away somewhere, or maybe even still use it. Every stitch in a quilt, every loop in a crochet pattern, and every carefully placed detail in a handcrafted card tells a story.
There’s nothing better than rounding up your best people, pouring some wine (or tea, if that’s more your vibe), and diving into a pile of craft kits together. Life gets crazy! Between work, family, and a hectic to-do list, it’s hard to find time to catch up. That’s why a girls' night in, filled with crafty bits, belly laughs, and good conversation is the perfect way to hit pause on that crazy life.
