It’s already Friday, and I feel like I didn’t get anything done this week. That’s because it was mostly spent packaging orders, 🎉, and even though shipping is an after thought, it takes hours of work 🙈😊 On days like this, it’s so important to find a personal project to keep my inspiration flowing. Even if I don’t feel like I have time... even if my house is a mess... I try to find some moments to let my hands get to moving and my mind to work through the creative process. It gives me a feeling of personal accomplishment and keeps me going when the days are long and dark.
*This technique is part of my Punch Needle Class, on linen. One of my favorite things about linen is that it’s not marked and has a rich color, so I can use a cream yarn and let the fabric show 🙌🏼 Find out more about my online video classes on my website.

What new crafts have you been practicing this year? Which have surprised you, whether you found that you enjoyed them, or disliked them? I’ve been thinking back over 2018 and all the projects I’ve worked on. How each one built upon the last. Some of my absolutely favorite pieces were made this year... and some pieces that I threw away and never want to think about again 😬
Macraweaving is still one of my favorite techniques that I really started to experiment with this year. I even created an entire online video class around how to combine the two! That’s why, when I ran across this piece in progress from @woola.la I fell in love. The finished circular tapestry with touches of macrame are even better than I expected 😍🙌🏼 Beautiful work, Sandrina!

Who’s ready for a holiday collection!? Comment below with which one is your favorite! There is only one of each of these, so hurry and grab one that you want! Every tapestry features core spun merino yarn, a macrame banner and has a special bauble from my collection of vintage beaded stars, misty quartz, druzies or Kuchi charms.
This size is perfect for gifting, hanging in a gallery wall or the skinny corner in your hallway that needs a little wall candy. They have so much texture and details packed into 6”x8”!

Okay, so yes, this pom pom star garland is the perfect piece of holiday decor... but to be honest, I’ve had it up since October and don’t plan on taking it down once the holidays are over. 😏😍 It’s part of my macrame stars class (available on my website) that teaches you my unique way of creating stars, plus how to turn turn them into different decor items. You can make a stack of stars to create garlands for yourself and give them away as gifts. They are a piece of decor that looks good all year round!
Get the class this week so that if you need any of the supplies, you have time to order them and make them before the holidays!

We had a wonderful workshop at @madewell today on this soggy morning. I love doing workshops and meeting new friends! None of these talented ladies had ever done macrame before... but by the end they were pros 🙌🏼

I’m working on a special holiday collection of ‘gifting tapestries’ that will be available next Monday, and each one will feature a special accessory from my collection of vintage baubles and druzies. I’ve been saving these since 2015 when I had dreams of making it as a woven jewelry artist 😬... and they deserve to finally be featured. Do you have special items that you save for an unknown project?
I decided this is the perfect time to let my treasures shine, and it feels amazing to embrace this moment in life as special-enough to use them all up! Does that make sense? It’s feels like I’m celebrating the end to an AMAZING year for Hello Hydrangea.
Turn on post notifications to know when the mini collection goes live on Monday, or comment below so the algorithm knows you’re interested 😂😉😉

Attention San Jose! Come join me for a workshop this Saturday at Madewell Santana Row, 12/1/2018 at 2:00-3:30 where we will be making an exclusive chunky triangle macrame design in golden yellow!
I am teaching 2 workshops that day, and the first sold out before I could even mention it here, so hurry and grab a spot in this second session. All the materials will be provided as we enjoy a fun afternoon knotting and watching the shoppers outside the windows.
See you soon!

Don’t forget the sale on my project classes! Link in bio. The chunky macrame triangle project is one of my favorites. As with all of my project classes, it has a link to all the supplies you need, plus it’s the perfect project for a beginner. Once you get the rope and metal triangle it works as a complete kit and would be the best gift to give someone crafty (or yourself!)
Thanks for sharing your finished project, @e.zann.fibers 😘❤️

After driving 12+ hours straight, we got back late last night. It felt wonderful to take a week off but now that we’re back, I have a long list of to-dos!
- Answer emails
- Ship metal triangles
- Finish holiday minis
- Prep for workshops
- Launch new loom
- Get a Christmas tree
- Film advanced Pibione class
- Write and photograph the last few chapters for my second weaving book
- Buy Christmas gifts
- Keep the 2 yr old alive and happy
- Make memories with family and friends
I had planned on taking December off, and worked hard to get most things done before November began, but there’s still lots to do! It’s not all going to happen today... probably not this week... but one day at a time, in between being a mom/wife/church member + making Christmas traditions for our family it will all happen. It always does and I feel so much love and support along the way.
Plus, this view in my studio helps me stay motivated and excited 😍🙌🏼✨

A few things I’m grateful for.
- God
- My husband for being the most supportive best friend
- My son for teaching me about kindness, patience and wonder daily
- My family for all the laughs and love
- A job that allows me to be creative
- Our home
- A naturally optimistic attitude 😁
- Good friends both near and far
- Modern medicine
- Modern technology
- Clean, running water
- Toothbrushes
- Creativity as self-care
- Dramamine
- Sour skittles
- My choices and priorities that have led me to where I am today - YOU! I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without your support, so THANK YOU 🤗🙌🏼 (I almost didn’t post today because I knew there would be a million other thanksgiving/Black Friday posts and I find it’s best to slide past this weekend instead of trying to compete, but I would be sad if I didn’t let anyone who sees this know how thankful I am for so many things in my life. I’m definitely a ‘glass half full’ kind of person and my heart could burst from all the blessings I have in life.)

What good memories do you have associated with your craft supplies? Are there any moments in particular that you think about when you work on them?
Creativity is one of those things that you can’t use up. Although I was working hard to finish up projects before our vacation, I now have a full week of down time and what do I choose to do? Pull out the loom of course!
I almost thought about not bringing any supplies with me, but I’m so glad I did. Weaving in the kitchen of my childhood home with my family playing and laughing together with my son and husband fills my heart with so much peace and joy. My loom and these projects will be associated with such great memories and they will live on when we have to head home again at the end of the week. ❤️

There’s nothing like a change of scenery to fuel some inspiration! We left the city to spend the week in the rural country town that I grew up in.
Out here the WiFi is slooowww, (no such thing as steaming), it takes an hour to get to WalMart and we have fresh chicken eggs every morning.
I remember the empty hours I learned to fill while growing up, living the slow life, homeschooled and free to wander the country landscape. Part of me wants to raise my own kids the same way... other parts of me loves the urban life I’ve enjoyed as an adult.
Either way, it’s been a wonderful week filled with family time and spare hours for personal weaving projects. I’m also feeling inspired by these colors and the fiber creatures from @misterfinchtextiles , so go give him a follow!
Have a wonderful week,
Linds
