(A glimpse from April – Nicola’s collage with some of April’s contributors.)
About a year ago I stumbled upon a crafty link up called Crafting is My Therapy. It’s run by two crafters: Nicola of Me, You & Magoo and Jennifer of Jennifer’s World whose ethos is pretty self explanatory: it’s about craft as therapy! The link up has now moved to Instagram. More and more people are connecting through their varied crafting and we’re all in agreement that making and creating is definitely an oasis of calm in continually hectic lives.
Last month it was my blogging friend Maura of The Messy Brunette who co-hosted the Instagram hashtag. Read Maura’s thoughts here. This month it’s my turn. I’ll be checking out the hashtags as often as I can and choosing my favourites to post here and over on IG.
If you’re an Instagram user then make sure to tag your crafty projects with #craftingismytherapy_june
We’d love to see your work there!
What Nicola says: “The focus of our hashtag is crafting for pleasure, basically taking some ‘me-time’ to unwind in our busy lives. It doesn’t have to be a finished project, we love seeing work in progress, planning posts or tutorials too.”
This collage is from May and pinched from Maura’s post (whilst I work out how to do collages from other IG users….) starting from top left and its @ crafticland, top right @ yarnandblarney. Bottom left @shirleyrainbow_tb and bottom right is @knottyhoops .
Good luck with it Rosina !

I hope I do it justice! Hopefully a few more people will see it. Thanks again for asking me. X
Sounds great! Crochet is amaaaazing therapy – it’s a major part of my toolkit against anxiety and depression and it really works 🙂
If all else fails, I always have crochet! I love getting lost in it 🙂
