In March 2024, I was struggling with way too much on my plate. My solution? Teach myself a new skill! Learning always seems to calm my mind and if it's learning to make something - even better! So I decided to teach myself to crochet. I picked it up quickly and you could say I'm hooked! ;) Pun intended. Here are some of my favorite items and resources.

I learned to weave on an inkle loom a few years ago, and I started spinning my own yarn on a simple drop spindle in January 2024. Somehow things escalated. I now use a spinning wheel, use the yarn I make to weave on a rigid heddle loom, and my home is full of fibre to be spun. Wonderful. These are the books and suppliers I have found helpful on my journey into spinning and weaving.

Puzzles are my forte. I thrive when challenging my patience and ingenuity with any of the four types of puzzles, including jigsaw puzzles, word puzzles, number puzzles, and even puzzle games.

I paint kindness rocks and am building a platform that will change how people view painted rocks, and how art can impact others. Rock painting is an art niche that really took off during covid when people were cooped up inside but longed for that human connection. Artists painted messages of inspiration & hope and left them “hidden in plain sight”. That niche has steadily grown over the years with no signs of slowing down. Rock painting is affordable, accessible and lets artists share their art with others (on the sly).
