Why We Do What We Do at Granny Club Gifts

At Granny Club Gifts, everything we make comes from the heart. Our story is rooted in family traditions, a love for handmade creations, and the joy of gifting something truly special. Here’s why I do what I do:

A Creative Outlet

Crafting offers endless possibilities for self-expression. Whether you're designing a unique piece of clothing, experimenting with patterns, or simply choosing yarns that speak to you, crafting is the perfect creative outlet. It has definitely been an amazing outlet for me to let my imagination fly.

Crafting for me has been extremely helpful in more ways than one. It has helped reduce stress in my life by offering me an outlet for extra energy, thoughts, and creativity. It also offers an escape from everyday problems by being the creative outlet and distraction when I need it most. Crafting has offered me a chance to let my creative energy thrive while also helping me cope with the other stressors in life. 

Passing Down a Legacy 

I remember my love for crafting began at a young age. In the beginning, it was by watching my grandmother craft all sorts of things, such as homemade cards, various sewn items, and many different knitting projects. As I grew a bit older, I began to learn and participate in the making of many of these same projects through the loving teaching of my grandmother. My love for crafting only grew as I did, as well as my realization of just how many different types of crafts I could do. 

I have tried many things throughout the years, including beading, sewing, painting, drawing, and many many more, but the one that stuck the most was crocheting. I took to it quite quickly, and I absolutely loved it (and still do). 

It wasn’t until years after starting my crocheting journey that I found that my great grandmother also enjoyed crocheting. Sadly, she had passed away by the time I found out, but I have acquired a couple of her crochet pieces and cherish them very deeply. Through crafting, I have been able to feel a sense of connection, not only to my grandmother, but also my late great grandmother.

Giving Gifts of Love: Spreading Warmth Beyond Your Circle

One of the most beautiful things about crafting is the ability to create gifts that come straight from the heart. The act of making something by hand conveys a personal connection that store-bought gifts cannot replicate. Every little touch is infused with love and care, and the recipient can feel that warmth.

Crafted gifts are not bound by family ties but are an extension of the love and thoughtfulness that you wish to share with others. I enjoy crafting so much that I want to share the love that I put into every project with whoever I can. Being able to be a part of Granny Club Gifts has given me the opportunity to spread love through the gifts that I craft with those outside of my own circle of family and friends, and I am incredibly thankful for that.

Thank you for letting me create, but also allowing me to spread the love and joy I have with each and every piece that I make!

Much love,

Granny Carina
