Handmade life
To create something with your own hands is a truly empowering thing to do. By creating things with your own hands, you can create a handmade life and home. You can start off with a piece of yarn, and at the end of it, you have created a jumper that will keep you cosy and warm throughout the winter. The beauty of knitting is that there are so many possibilities to create things. Because you create each and every stitch yourself you develop a relationship and appreciate your creation so much.
Perhaps you prefer to sew and you start off with a big piece of fabric and cut and piece together your creation. Sewing is great because even when you don’t have a lot of time you can still create something with your own two hands.
But maybe you prefer to crochet, quilt, spin yarn, weave cloth or baskets, whittle wood, carpentry, pottery, or any of the unending list of crafts. Any of these crafts will help you to create your own handmade life.
You can create true magic by working with your hands.
