Another sweet throwback 🤗💚
These simple green onyx wire-wrapped hoops were made 2 years ago, during those nights when my baby was finally asleep.
I had no audience, no idea how to film, and barely knew how to use social media. I was completely burnt out from looking after a baby all day — but whenever I had a little time at night, I made things.
Not for the financial benefit — although that would have been lovely too 😅 — but simply because I needed to create. To feel like myself again. Simply to feel alive.
And these have only just sold. For £3. Years later…
Is it a little sad? Yes. Because of course I wish someone had loved them earlier and bought them for more.
But did they make me happy? Also yes.
They brought me the joy of creating. They gave me hope that one day I’d be doing this properly again, even if that day had to come later. They became one of those tiny, much-needed baby steps that kept me going.
The buyer has no idea how much it means to me that they chose them, or how much love went into making them. But I hope somehow these little hoops bring some of that joy into their life too, whenever they need it. 💚
Sometimes being a crafter is simply making because you love it. Believing in yourself when no one else does… yet. And having the patience to wait for someone else to love what you created too — even if it takes years.
Because when you truly love something, you’re already doing something right. You’re where you’re supposed to be. The rest can come later.
I hope this motivates you not to give up. Every little step matters. Every creation makes you a creator.
I believe in you. 🫶
