My Year of Arts + Crafts

My year of art-ing & craft-ing, condensed into 15 photos.

I’ve always loved creating with my hands, ever since I was a little girl. I find the whole journey, from having an idea, to researching how to do it, to slowly bringing it to life with patience and determination, very healing!

There have been many, many, MANY moments in my creative journey where I was convinced something was going to turn out like sh*t. 

Many times I had to step away. Many times I came close to giving up altogether. But I’ve learned to keep going, to explore without the pressure of needing everything to be perfect and/or useful. 

Some creative projects I’ve been exploring this year:

• Mosaic-ing

• Dyeing fabric with natural materials

• Crocheting more intricate patterns + projects

• Making my own jewellery

• Bead and traditional embroidery

• Dried flower crafts

• Exploring felt

• Upcycling basic furniture

• Rug tufting

• Candle-making

Things I’d really love to explore in 2026:

• More jewellery making

• Sewing! (I’ve been gifted my very first sewing machine by my MIL 🥹)

• More mosaic-ing with different mediums

• Acrylic painting

• Macramé

+ obvi crochet!

Stay craft-y pals, we need more softer and creative souls in this world! I'd love to know what arts + crafts you are exploring?
