It all starts with an idea, or scrolling through social media and seeing all of the adorable project ideas to create.
You buy the pattern, secure the materials and you feel the excitement of putting your new item together. Then, you look at the other 5,789 projects that are sitting there staring at you begging to be completed but you ignore them for the shiny new project instead.
Life gets in the way, or you have a busy week and pretty soon, your new shiny project becomes the 5,790th project that gets added to the pile.
Raise your hand if this sounds familiar? Please tell me I'm not the only one that does this. Please!? Now, the question is, why do we do this? I recently did a studio purge/organize and created a yarn shelf. I knew my yarn collection was intense however, because I kept shoving it into bins it was a case of "out of sight, out of mind".
Now that it's all out and visible, all of those ignored projects are now in front of my face. I even found a pile of yarn that I purchased in December of 2022 because we were expecting a doozy of a snowstorm so, in addition to stockpiling food and wine for the impending storm, I needed 8 balls of yarn to play with. The storm did indeed arrive however, those 8 balls of yarn still have the wrap around them. Totally ignored!
Maybe I should form a support group of sorts so we can all go around and show each other the lost forgotten projects that we had the best intentions for but have never been made. There would absolutely be no judgement as we're all in the same craft supply hoarding boat.

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.
