I think I’m always drawn to hobbies that can eventually become something practical.
Back in 2019, after travelling and buying lots of local handmade jewellery, I decided I wanted to learn how to make earrings. That’s how my little fabrika.at.home brand started. I had so much fun making things and doing markets back then.
But after the Covid lockdowns, I realised something quite simple: I personally can happily wear the same minimalistic hoop earrings every single day. Making more and more jewellery started to feel a bit wasteful to me. Beautiful, yes. Fun to make, yes. But not very practical for my own life.
So I started looking for hobbies that felt more useful, and that’s how I found pottery. I still love it deeply. There is something very satisfying about making an object that I can actually use every day.
And now with needle felting, I’m doing the same thing again: trying to figure out what practical things I can make with it.
For now…
Christmas decorations, anyone? 🎄😂
