10 signs that you're obsessed with crafting

Whether it’s knitting, crochet, upcycling or making cards, we’re fond of a good crafty session here in Woman’s Way. Are you obsessed with crafting? If any of the below sound familiar, you just might be…

1. You’re low key obsessed with Pinterest – You pop on to Pinterest to check the next step on a project you’re working on. Suddenly four hours have passed, you’ve pinned 250 new images and somehow you’ve started eight mood boards.

2. You LOVE a mood board – You have mood boards for everything: wedding cards, white interiors, frilly fabrics, a board dedicated to the colour gold, an autumnal palette mood board and a mood board of how you would decorate your dream crafting room when you win the lotto and can dedicate an entire wing of your new mansion to your hobby.

3. There’s so much choice – Crafting has so many different aspects that when people ask you what your favourite method of crafting is, you honestly can’t choose. Could you sacrifice card making for crochet? No, you love each of your craft babies equally.

4. It makes you happy – You adore making something special from scratch for your loved ones. Whether it’s knitting a cardigan for a new arrival into the family, crafting a special keepsake for your friend who’s been through a tough time or crocheting a doll for your granddaughter - there’s nothing you love more than showing your loved ones how much you care with a special and unique gift that’s made 100 per cent by hand.

5. You could easily do it all day every day – You regularly flirt with the notion of quitting your job and setting up an Etsy shop for your crafts. You’d love to become a full-time craftepreneur.

6. You can’t pick one project – You regularly have at least three crafting projects on the go at any one time.

7. You’re amazing at recycling/repurposing objects – You don’t throw anything out because you can see the potential in it and know that with a little TLC you could incorporate it into your crafting and upcycle it into something amazing.

8. You dream about having your own Dream Box – Don’t know what we’re talking about? Have a look HERE. Is it expensive? Yes. Do you still want it? Yes.

9. You’re confident in your crafting abilities – When you find yourself in interiors stores or shops that sell knitted or crochet clothing, you regularly think, ‘I could craft something similar myself for half the price.’

10. You are amazing at craft organisation – Sure, you may not be able to remember where you put your house keys, but you 100 per cent know where you can find exactly 23cm of red ribbon in your home at short notice.
