Welcome!

I’m Joy

Your go-to girl for all things crafting and making.

I know I am not the only one that just zones off when she is crafting. I may be a lot of other things like blogger, business woman, mom, teacher, digital marketer. But crafting has my heart. No matter how much I try to dibble dabble into other things, I will always come back to what I genuinely love doing. Which is bonding with myself over the next craft project that I’m making with a cup of tea. Crafting has a way of grounding me and bringing me to the center of my core. I have gone through the most difficult seasons of my life graciously because I was able to find that strength, crafting and thinking my way through it all.

Discover inspiring craft ideas, helpful project guides, and expert tips to help you explore new hobbies, create with confidence, and make something beautiful with your own hands.

FAQ

I love crafts that let me work with my hands and turn simple materials into something beautiful. Sewing, patchwork, embroidery, and DIY projects are some of my favorites, but I’m always excited to try something new!

Fabric! There’s something about beautiful fabrics that makes me want to start a new project immediately. Of course, a good pair of scissors, quality thread, and a measuring tape are never far away either.
