Island Unwind: A Reminder That Life Doesn’t Have to Feel So Heavy

Have you ever noticed how easily life can start to feel heavier than it needs to? Not because something dramatic has happened. Not because you're facing a crisis. But because over time, little responsibilities begin to pile up. The washing needs doing. The emails need answering. The appointments need organising. Work gets busy. Family needs support. The to-do list grows....

How to Make a Clock Using a Granny Square

Those that know me know how much I love clocks. I love the ticking. I love the different styles that exist. I love that they're another way to express creativitity. So it was only natural that I would eventually crochet a clock! First let me cover the items that I used: 4 ply or thinner cotton - I used Scheepjes Catona…...

TRY THIS TUESDAY 🧶

Next time you notice a tiny mistake in your crochet…

Pause before immediately ripping everything back.

And ask yourself:

“Will this actually matter in the finished project?”

Because one of the biggest things that slows beginner confidence is believing crochet has to be perfect to count as good.

But crochet confidence usually grows through:
✨ repetition
✨ finishing projects
✨ learning from mistakes
✨ continuing anyway

Not through perfection.

Sometimes the goal isn’t flawless crochet.

Sometimes the goal is simply becoming a more confident crocheter 💛

I think a lot of women carry this quiet belief that rest has to be deserved.

That we can relax…
once the house is done.
once everyone else is looked after.
once work settles down.
once we’ve “earned it.”

But the problem is…

There’s always something else to do.

And that’s one of the reasons hobbies like crochet matter so much.

Because crochet creates small pockets of pause inside busy lives.

A few rows before bed.
Ten quiet minutes with coffee.
A project sitting beside us waiting patiently.

Not because we’ve earned rest.

But because we’re human beings who need it.

And honestly?

I think more women need permission to stop treating creativity like a reward 💛

Choosing Crochet Projects Based on How You Feel

One of the things I’ve noticed over the years is that we often choose crochet projects based on who we think we should be… Not based on what we actually need. We tell ourselves we should work on the complicated project.The impressive project.The one that challenges us.The one we’ve already spent money on.The one sitting unfinished in the naughty corner making us feel guilty....
