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.
Here’s why a crafty night in is a fabulous idea!
1. It’s Like Therapy, but More Fun!
Crafting is a sneaky way to de-stress. Focusing on stitching, cutting, or assembling something keeps your hands busy and your mind calm. Plus, sharing laughs over wonky stitches and glue disasters? That’s the kind of therapy we all need.
2. No Pressure, Just Play
Unlike those paint and sip nights where you are under pressure to create within a certain time frame, a DIY craft night at home is all about having fun. It might even be a challenge to complete your finished project once the conversations get going..
3. Budget-Friendly Bonding
Dinner, drinks, and entertainment can add up fast. A crafty night is an affordable alternative where everyone can bring a snack, a drink, or even a craft kit to share. Plus, you can even make it mandatory for everyone to show up with no makeup and in their PJ's!
4. You Leave With More Than Just Memories
Not only do you get an amazing night with your favourite people, but you walk away with something you made yourself. Whether it’s a cozy crocheted coaster, a cute handmade card, or a slightly wonky (but charming) teapot cozy.
How to Plan the Perfect Craft Night
Hosting a craft night is super easy!! Here’s how to make it a hit:
Set the Vibe: Light some candles, put on a feel-good playlist (hello, 80s throwbacks), and make your space warm and cozy.
Pick a Craft (or Two!): Choose something simple and fun such as crochet, sewing, or card-making kits. You can mix it up and provide options for everyone or, have everyone work on the same project and have a contest at the end to see who's was the best.
Snacks and Sips: Keep it casual with a cheese board, some chocolate, and a mix of wine, tea, or fancy bevvies.
Make Craft Night a Regular Thing
After a successful girls' night in, a monthly or seasonal tradition may start to take shape. So, send out the invites, gather the craft supplies, and get ready for an evening full of fun, friendship, and creativity.

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.
This past week felt like an entire year. If there’s one thing you learn quickly as a small business owner, it’s how to adapt on the fly but nothing could have prepared us for the uncertainty of last weekend’s tariff threats from the U.S. administration. Like many Canadian entrepreneurs, I spent the weekend anxiously glued to the news and sorting out how this would affect my small business.
