Craft yourself
Mindful
With its repetitive, calming qualities, crafting is a perfect way to find peace even on our more difficult days
Craft Club member Linda got in touch to say how crafting – and Create and Craft – has helped her through
difficult times. We know lots of you will relate to Linda’s story, and we want you to know that you’re not alone.
“In my dark days, Create and Craft was a shining light”
I would like to say a big thank you to the team at Create and Craft. I don’t think you realise just how important your channel is and how much of a positive impact it has on people’s lives. I know you’re a shopping channel and you have a job to do, but you are all so much more than that. You reach out to so many people in so many homes – all genders, ages and walks of life – who have one thing in common: a love of craft.
For many people you are a lifeline. Last year, I found myself in dire straits, having lost my mum and brother within 11 months of each other. It was a dark, dark time for me. That same year, I injured myself at work and had to have an operation, and spent six months off work recuperating.
FIND YOUR FOCUS
We know that candlelight can be really soothing, so before you start your next project, why not try a Calm candle? They come in three delightful scents, all using essential aromatherapy oils and 100% natural soya blend. It also comes equipped with a guided meditation... and with an open mind, your creativity will surely flow.

I also had to sell my home as I struggled with my finances.
I felt alone and isolated, grieving and depressed. But in those dark days, Create and Craft became a shining light that got me through. Like thousands of others, I could switch on my TV, go to Create and Craft and find your presenters, who are full of warmth, compassion, uplifting banter and a passion for what they do. They reach into our lives and make us part of a bigger family – a crafting family.
I don’t know what I would have done without Create and Craft. Your channel is good for the soul and the spirit; it’s a happy place, full of normal everyday, unpretentious people, which is better than any medicine. You are crafting therapy for mindfulness. So I would just like to say a huge thank you for bringing us a great channel and for being rays of sunshine on grey, rainy days. Linda
Crafting love to you all,
