Thank you so very much! @Einat Kessler How do you come up with some of these projects?! They are amazing and so much fun! @Consie Sindet I always feel relaxed and enjoy your presentations and projects. Procreate is turning into my second love. Thank you @Diana McDermott Have you heard about the Procreate Update? Any idea how I can get it or do I have to wait? I've tried updating the app and there is no option for the update on my stuff yet. Thank you, Ladies!

Hobbies are often seen as something “extra” we do when we have free time. But if you think about it, they can be so much more than that they shape our character, bring us healing, spark creativity, and even teach us discipline and patience. For some, hobbies are a way to escape stress. For others, they’re a path to self-discovery, building confidence, and even creating new opportunities in life. I believe that what we choose to spend our time on outside of work or school says a lot about who we are and how we want to live. 👉 What’s a hobby that has deeply impacted your life and in what way? 👉 Do you think hobbies can be just as important as formal education when it comes to growth and purpose? Let’s open up a real conversation around how our “small passions” are often what give our lives the biggest meaning.

Greetings from northwestern NC! I'm new to this group and the summit- both look like a lot of fun! My primary art form is making junk journals and mini albums, but I also knit, watercolor, sew, make beaded jewelry and more. I love to learn new things.

Announcing our 2026 event schedule! Who's excited???!!!

The Art of Handmade Summit (Sept 15–18) is right around the corner, and the workshops we have lined up are seriously inspiring. This isn’t just about learning techniques — it’s about carving out time for yourself, trying something new, and connecting with others who “get” your love of making. Here’s just a little peek at what’s waiting for you: 🧵 For the sewists & quilters - A cozy quilt-as-you-go table runner you’ll actually finish (Jennifer Taylor) - Scrap-busting sewing projects that make your leftovers shine (Debbie Jenkins) 🧶 For the yarn lovers - Crochet a sweet little pumpkin in just one sitting (Kristine Racine) - Knit a cowl you’ll reach for all season long (Angela Palmer) 🎨 For paper & mixed media creatives - Handmade greeting cards that’ll have friends asking, “You made this?!” (Kristina Hunter) - Create a vision board that’s as beautiful as it is motivating (Susan Santoro) 💍 For jewelry makers - Learn wire-wrapping skills while making your own earrings (Melanie Hamann) - Beadwork basics you can master in an afternoon (Jessica Steele) ✍️ For creative souls - Turn journaling into an art form with a keepsake journal project (Lynne Blackman) - Relax into watercolor florals that feel like meditation with a brush (Kelly Cable) And honestly… that’s only scratching the surface. We’ve got 36 workshops total, each one designed to give you something fresh, fun, and do-able. 👉 I’d love to know: which of these workshops are you MOST excited to dive into? Drop it in the comments so we can cheer each other on!
