After the frantic festive months, we think it’s time for a little self care! In our inaugural episode of The LoveCrafts Show, Merion and Mr X Stitch chat about wellbeing, getting organised and creating positive energy to take forward into 2020. 

In this episode we introduce you to our lovely hosts, Merion and Mr X Stitch! We chat about craft as a form of therapy and how to find meditation in making. We discuss how we’re planning to challenge ourselves in the new year to keep creative burnout at bay, and what we’re doing to organise our stash (warning: we’ve got a yarn hoarder in the room!). And after spending so much time making for other people (Christmas sock marathon, anyone?) we think it's about time to make something for yourself! Oh, and maybe a bit of rebellious cross stitch too.
