Craft for Wellbeing

 Hi Everyone, 

I know we're all feeling it, so I wanted to pop on here and share a little inspiration (and discount) for you to help you get creative again. 

I've chatted to a few of you online and you're all feeling the same, less creative, less motivated and in need of a little distraction. Well, I may have the answer.

Crafting can do so much for your mental health and wellbeing. But when you're not feeling up to creating or thinking of your next project ideas, why not buy something where all you have to do is 'the making'. Craft kits are the perfect answer. You can switch off, unwind, concentrate on something and produce something pretty, without the stress of supplies, thinking of your design and stressing about when to start it. 

Here are a few of my favourite kits that we have for sale in the shop:

1. Needle Felted Bee Brooch

You'll need a Foam Block too (buy here) but apart from that this needle felting kit has everything to make a cute spring bee brooch. I cannot tell you how therapeutic it is to stab wool too haha. Just mind your fingers! 

2. Botanical Embroidery

I'm totally in love with these botanical embroidery kits. Bringing the outdoors in and creating a beautiful piece of textile art which you can proudly hang in the home. I also love these new Black Cotton versions, something a little different from the traditional kits. 

3. Cross-Stitch LOVE Hoop

I think this design is so happy and we could all use a little more self-love right now. Perfect summery colours to cheer you up, and a relaxing craft to do. It would look great on a little shelf afterwards also. 

4. Crochet Hope the Whale

I love this Toft kit so much. I just think she's so gorgeous and would be so cute to make. Crochet is a great craft to do and easy to learn if you're new to it all. Maybe a new hobby on the horizon? 

So, now that I've shared a few of my favourites, I thought I'd also give you all a little discount. Just as a little extra gift to you. Use code WELLBEING at the checkout to get 15% off any craft kit. Offer ends Sunday 7th March 2021. Shop all the kits we have on offer HERE>. 

Look after yourselves. Keep safe, keep well, keep sewing. 

Happy shopping and Happy Handmade.
