So people who know me on Skool know me for crochet, but I am somewhat of a hobby collector. I love to make things with my hands. I've sewn, done watercolour & draw, and yes, I do crochet. But my favourite hobby is weaving. There's something about all the stages and steps, planning and preparing the loom before ever getting to see what the fabric might look like that speaks to my soul. I've had my loom for about 11 years now. When I started, I was making mostly baby wrap carriers and the occasional scarf. But from the very beginning, on my bucket list was making Christmas Stockings for my family. It always seemed to end up on the back burner. When I was weaving everyday, there were always projects that seemed to take priority. Wraps I was selling, shawl's for my sibling's weddings. And then life shifted. I didn't touch my loom for 3 years. With busyness of motherhood and other things, I just found it harder to sit down and weave. It takes so much time just to get the warp onto the loom, so getting to the point of weaving didn't happen. The loom corner slowly built up into a "storage" corner. But in 2024, I decided that I really needed to do that bucket list thing, and make my dream stockings for my family. Of course, me being me, I didn't just want to weave the fabric, cut out two pieces and sew those together. I wanted handwoven, quilted stockings. It was challenging. But oh, so rewarding! I love these stockings, and seeing them hanging on our rail instead of the dollar store ones we had for years makes me so happy. The next bucket list item is a matching tree skirt to finish for next year! (I've already got all the fabric made, I just need to finish the sewing)

Hey - Hello there. Great that you are dropping in to say hello. Lets start our greeting with : What is one thing you are grateful for? I will go first.... in the comments.... It can be a gif, one word, one sentence, one paragraph or if you want to start your own post in "Tell my story". please do.

Hello @Danasia Hicks You’re now part of a community that celebrates progress over perfection ✨Creative Hearts Collective, let’s get to know each other:If this season of life had a title, what would it be?

My mother- and father-in-law have the most beautiful passion for things of the past. Antiques.Thrifted treasures.Objects with history, character, and stories already woven into them. They don’t just shop — they hunt with intention. They have this quiet gift for manifesting exactly what they’re looking for… especially at garage sales. One moment I’ll never forget was the day my father-in-law, Kev, announced with complete confidence: “Today I will find a good chainsaw.” My brother-in-law laughed and said, “Oh mate… maybe in a small country town, but not in Sydney.” Well… By the end of the day, Kev had found three chainsaws —all under $5 each,all in good working order. We still laugh about it — but there’s something deeper in that story. Antiquing and thrifting aren’t just about bargains.They’re about:🪑 patience🧭 intuition♻️ reusing and valuing what already exists✨ trusting that what’s meant for you will show up There’s a certain joy in rescuing something forgotten and giving it new life —and a real satisfaction in seeing potential where others don’t. In this Passion Projects space, a love for antiques and thrift fits beautifully:• it’s mindful• it’s sustainable• it’s creative• it’s full of stories 💬 I’d love to hear from you:Have you ever manifested the exact thing you were looking for? Or do you have a favourite thrifted or antique find with a story behind it? Share below — these are the kinds of stories that never get old 💛
