Introduction: Hi, I’m Pippa—and I’m on a quiet mission to help people see the true beauty and depth behind the world of arts and crafts. For many, crafting is seen as a light-hearted hobby, a way to unwind or pass the time. And while it certainly can bring joy and relaxation, I believe there’s so much more to it than that. Behind every handmade piece is often years of dedication, skill-building, and soulful practice. There’s love in each stitch, story in every brushstroke, and a deep connection to tradition and identity in every crafted piece. Over the years, I’ve met many talented makers who hesitate to put a price on their work—who quietly say things like, “No one would pay what it’s worth, so I’ll just give it away.” That breaks my heart a little. Not because they lack confidence, but because the world has forgotten how to truly see handmade and handcrafted work. In a time of fast production and instant delivery, I believe we need to pause and remember the value of things made slowly, intentionally, and with heart. Handmade items carry a warmth and heart that machines simply can’t replicate. They hold stories, care, and human touch. So over the next 30 days, I’ll be sharing daily reflections that explore how craft and creativity have shaped—and continue to shape—our lives, cultures, and communities. From its ancient roots in survival to its modern role in expression and connection, crafting has always been part of who we are. I hope you’ll join me in celebrating the hands, hearts, and histories behind every beautiful handmade piece. is what its about
