Welcome to my first post of 2025! It’s hard to believe we’re almost two full months into the new year. I don’t remember much of January, mostly cold and dark days, walking to the office in the dark, coming home in the dark and experimenting with 30 different ways to wear my woolly scarf. It’s … More February: Snowdrops embroidery and discovering Imbolc
After twenty-eight years on this planet, I’m still shocked every time summer starts, especially in England. It always comes as a surprise. It’s cold and windy one day, and the next, it’s so hot, and the sun is shining so bright that my autumn heart stops beating for a second, sad and already tired of … More Craftpod 2023 Summer box
I’ve been in a kind of craft slump. After my failed first attempt at knitting a scarf, I was incapable of crafting anything at all until I bought this old Craftpod kit on Etsy. I thought an easy, fast project like this cute winter cross-stitch would help me get out of my crafter’s block. And it did; it even gave me enough motivation to try to knit a new scarf.

Every season I look forward to getting my Craftpod box, it’s honestly a big highlight in my monotonous life. I love the surprise of not knowing what projects they’ve planned for the season, growing my collection of DMC threads and trying new things. … More Craftpod’s Autumn 2021 Box

I had zero expectations this time because their boxes this past year have been so varied I don’t know what to expect anymore, and that’s part of the fun! … More Craftpod’s Summer Box 2021
The start of a new season doesn’t mean much for most people, but for me, it means there’s a new Craftpod to explore, and the Spring box was a good one.
I’ve never been a fan of cross stitch, I’ve always considered it something older people do to pass the time. I’ve previously looked down on cross stitch. I don’t consider myself a snob, but I guess I am a bit snobby when it comes to stitching techniques. … More Craftpod Spring 2021 – Cross-Stitching for the first time
Another season, another Craftpod! Winter is my second favourite season, so I was very excited to receive this box. I had high expectations, assuming the project would be a traditional Christmas design or a snowy scene. So I was definitely surprised when the theme for the box were swans. … More Craftpod’s Winter Box 2020/21
Here it is! After months of waiting, I finally got my Craftpod’s autumn box! I was very excited to open it and see the projects that would accompany me this season. But I was a bit disappointed with the felt project.
