This week we take a trip into our podcasting archives and revel in the growth we have achieved so far. We discuss how we stay motivated and keep showing up to a creative project when it doesn't have all the new project shine.

Four days of wall to wall crafting? What else would we do over the Easter long weekend! We're sharing some thoughts on our inaugural MOCS Easter Bingo last year, and start kicking around ideas for this year - are you in?

Like everything, our crafting ebbs and flows with the seasons, both the actual seasons and the seasons of life. Today we're chatting about the different rhythms we embrace in our crafting, with a little side journey into spring cleaning and true confessions of the current state of Rach's stash (spoiler - it's not pretty!).

In a wave of January intention, we both set our words for the year. Two months in, there's already been a whole lot of life happening. Todya we are chatting about how our words are holding up, and the ways we keep them high on our priority list as we do the days. Sometimes, though, our words have to take a backseat to everything else, and we talk about the times we have given up our words - including one where the word turned out to be perfect anyway!

Ministry of Crafty Shenanigans is a weekly conversational podcast, chatting craft and creativity, connection and friendship, collaboration and accountability, and the joy of community in an increasingly isolated world.

We're celebrating both the silly season and the finale of season three, with a look at all the crafty fun we are up to in the run up to the end of the year. Because life isn't busy enough at this time of year, we can't help but add a few more projects!

Thank you so much for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you again in 2023 with season four.

Coming into gifting season, our minds are turning to making for others. Investing our time and supplies into a gift project is the unspoken way a crafter says "I love you", and in today's episode we delve into the thought process behind choosing who to make for, and what supplies to use. We also talk about how being vulnerable in our creativity can be seen as a type of love language, and who we let in "behind the scenes" is a mark of connection and relationship.

After a busy couple of weeks, we are both finding ourselves reaching for familiar and meditative projects. Following on from our Nostalgia episode, we look at what influences us to reach for the familiar over the new and exciting, and how connection to those around us is one of the strongest influences of all.

As our creative processes have shifted over the years, we've traded places of which of us is the finisher and which is the procrastinator. In today's episode, we look back over past projects and try and nail down where we find our motivation, and what blockages stop us from making progress.
