I started a crochet circle with my grandma, aunts, and whoever in my family has time to spare as a way to spend more time with my grandma and bond. It is the most special time and we all love it so much!

I recently started scrapbooking! I’m a paper hoarder and it’s been satisfying to see all the scraps I’ve been collecting for years for no apparent reason now have a purpose. Scrapbooking can get expensive if you let it, but if you’re a paper hoarder, you don’t need a bunch of stickers etc. You get creative. Crafting parties sound so fun. You’ve inspired me to try and find some by me!

I've also gotten magazines and books from thrifts or Facebook marketplace to make some really cool things! The more crafts I do, the more my creativity grows, and the more I'm able to think about how to source supplies sustainably and rework items. It's a beautiful cycle compared to my previous doomscrolling
