Hi everyone, I’ve been making little resin teddy bears as “pocket hugs” for charity recently, and it has reminded me that a very small handmade item can sometimes mean an enormous amount to the person receiving it. They don’t have to be perfect, complicated or expensive. Quite often, it’s simply knowing that somebody took the time to make something especially for them that matters. So, I’d love to know: have you ever used your crafting to support a charity, cheer somebody up or mark a difficult moment? It could be: • something you made to raise money • a little gift for somebody going through a hard time • items donated to a local group or event • cards, keepsakes or decorations made for a good cause • or simply a handmade surprise that made somebody smile Please share a photo or tell us the story behind it below. It might inspire somebody else to turn a few leftover materials and a little bit of time into something really lovely. And if you’ve never tried it, perhaps this week’s tiny challenge could be to make one small “just because” gift for somebody who could use a smile. 💜 Tracey
