How I'll be running this blog 🐞

Hi lovely reader! 💛

Since starting this blog, I’ve been pouring my heart into every DIY, tutorial and idea. But between filming, editing, writing, and creating, I realized something: this takes a lot of time, energy, and love. And I want to keep doing it well.

Right now, I’m doing everything myself — from crafting and filming to editing, writing, Pinterest, and YouTube (yep, all of it 😅). Some DIYs are quick and fun, while others take days to plan, test, film, or even redo. And that’s okay — because I want to bring you the best content I can.

I’m a university student still figuring things out. As I shared in my welcome post, I’ve been doing DIYs as a hobby since I was little. I wanted to create a side hustle while studying, so I combined my love for crafting with my passion for sharing — and this blog was born! But of course, I had to find a balance between this new side hustle and my university life without compromising either of them.

My original plan was to post every Friday — alternating between full DIY tutorials and non-tutorial posts (PNTs), like tips, personal stories, or inspiration lists. And I still want to stick to that as much as possible.

So, during July and August, I’ve been fully dedicated to preparing content for the blog. Since I’ll be super focused on my studies during the school year, I probably won’t be able to create any new DIYs or PNTs until my next summer break. That’s why I’m spending this vacation building a little library of content in advance — so I’ll still be able to publish those kinds of posts throughout the year.

Once classes start, I’m going to be writing a series I call Life Between Crafts (LBCs) — little reflections and creative moments written on the go. They’ll be the cozy in-between space of this blog, and I hope you’ll love them just as much. So, in addition to the regular Friday posts, you’ll also find these LBCs from time to time. That’s how I’ll stay connected with the blog while studying.

All of this means my posting schedule might vary. Some weeks you’ll see more, others less. But one thing’s for sure: I’ll always aim for quality, creativity, and joy — not just quantity.

I’d absolutely love for you to stick around and follow me on Pinterest, YouTube, and (very soon) Instagram so you don’t miss any of the fun projects coming your way.

And if you ever want to chat, request a tutorial, or just say hi — the comments are always open and welcome! You can also send me an email by filling out the form here. 💌

Thank you for being part of this magical little space. Every view, comment, and share means so much. 💫

Here’s to creative freedom, glittery glue, and DIY dreams.

With love,
