Crafting = Therapy

Why I started crafting

I began crafting in 2020 when Covid-19 swept the world. At that time, I desperately needed a job, but due to the faltering economy, finding one was challenging. I believe many can relate to that period. However, my feelings of depression didn't start then. They began when I came to the USA to study in 2014. As a foreigner in a new country, I was excited to learn and had set ambitious goals for myself. Over time, I began to feel pressure as I encountered numerous obstacles during my experiences in the USA. These challenges extended beyond academics and included finding accommodation, meeting familial expectations, navigating visa requirements, seeking employment, adjusting to a different culture, coping with loneliness and language barriers, and even the simple task of scheduling appointments presented difficulties.

In 2020, I discovered embroidery, initially not expecting to develop such a keen interest in crafting, despite my sister's enthusiasm for it. I was initially skeptical, but upon trying it myself, I found it captivating. It felt almost magical, and I found myself eager to practice it daily, experimenting with various techniques, textures, and tools, eagerly anticipating the final result

It's both magical and therapeutic.

As I delve deeper into crafting, I find that I'm channeling my stress into handmade creations, and I feel a sense of fulfillment every time I complete a piece of art. I feel satisfied and happy. Surprisingly, I spend up to 12 hours a day crafting. So, I thought, why not open a store to share this passion with everyone?

Why I opened a store

To relieve stress, there are many ways, and I'd like to share mine with those experiencing depression. I opened a craft store in August 2022. My products aren't just for fun—they also make wonderful handmade gifts for your loved ones. They're suitable for everyone, from simple embroidery patterns to punch needle designs. If you're short on crafting time, I can create products for you on commission. I also offer hand-drawn stationery for those who enjoy collecting cute items. Treat yourself to some adorable art; it's sure to bring positivity!

Let's craft together and enjoy!
