    My Making Journal

    This
    making journal
    belongs to

    makers
    noun (may-kers)

    The dreamers in colour, the tellers of stories,


    the voices of rebellion, the stitchers of love.
    You are the crafters, the makers, the dreamers.
    A note on being a maker
    To nurture our best making self we need to take time to connect mindfully
    with the process of making. We need to practice self-care, and give
    ourselves a well deserved pat on the back when we make the time to craft.
    This journal is a place for you to do this. To set your making intentions,
    scribble your project musings and inspire your best making self.
    This journal is for you.

    A maker’s prelude
    To be a maker is to go on a journey - to imagine, to create and to bring
    a story to life. When it comes to making something with your own hands,
    beauty lies in the imperfections.

    Promise us one thing, whatever you make, let go of the quest for
    perfection. Cherish the quirks - the dropped stitches and the misshapen
    hats - because mistakes are where the treasures lie.

    Celebrate the inevitable blemishes and oddities. Because, like the humans
    that craft them, the quirks are the very things that make them just right.

    I hereby promise to love my makes, and my making self,


    in all their perfectly imperfect glory.

    Signed Date
    Making my best self
    What inspires you to make?
    Jot down the things that help you find your
    craft mojo. This is your place to get creative -
    draw, stick, add some yarn.
    This is your making fuel.

    Making lovely lists
    Lists add a little order to this joyous creative world we live in.

    They’re our way of saying “hey world, these are the things I want to do,
    to accomplish, and to feel good about.”

    It doesn’t even matter if we finish the lists, what matters is the act of writing
    things down.

    It’s about enjoying the journey, not the destination.

    A list of list ideas


    things you’ve made that you’re proud of
    people you want to make something for
    new crafts you want to try
    skills you want to learn
    your stash inventory (annotate things to reuse, recycle, regift)
    yarns / products / stash you want to own
    inspiring crafts people you want to follow
    places you’d like to visit with your latest project in hand
    your fave cookies (why not)
    craft events or workshops you want to go to
    A list of... My list for...

    Lovely list of...


    Woohoo! A list of... A list of awesome...

    P.S making with shiny thoughts
    Here’s a bunch of positive ideas to
    breathe shiny happy thoughts
    into your making.

    1. Pair your breathing with your stitching, sticking or making.


    One stitch = one breath.
    2. Set aside some dedicated screens-off time every week to make.
    3. Organize your stash. Declutter. Re-gift.
    4. Start making something without knowing where you’ll end up.
    5. Pick some music to accompany your craft session.
    6. Make with intention, really think about each part of the craft
    journey.
    7. Start a conversation with another maker and find out what inspires
    them - it might spark a new friendship.
    8. Treat yourself to your all-time-fave crafting snack.
    (cookies + making = does it get any better?)
    9. Share the love - teach someone to make something.
    10. Make something for a good cause (check out local charities who
    need donations, or make something for a friend in need).
    11. Believe in yourself - jot down 3 awesome maker skills you have.
    12. Share your amazing project with your fellow makers
    (on the LoveCrafts community, on Instagram #LoveCrafts) -
    and feel the love in return.

    P.P.S making with intention
    We’re coming to end of the Making Journal. But you’re always at the
    beginning of another project, another step in your journey as a maker.

    There’s always room to grow your making self.

    This is a place to jot down your positive thoughts, aspirations and


    intentions to nurture yourself as a maker.

    This is my making philosophy.
