Weekend Glow Activity 2 | Your Crafting Rhythm: A Cozy Habit Sharing 🎨 🎧🍪🧩

:herb: Our Weekend Series Activity continues!
Last weekend, many of you shared your lovely 15-minute handmade moments, and it was wonderful to see everyone’s tiny worlds come to life.
This week, we’re curious about something a little more personal…


What are your little habits while crafting? :eyes:

Do you like to play music? :musical_score:
Listen to an audiobook or podcast? :headphone:
Or maybe you enjoy the quiet and simply let your mind wander? :thought_balloon:

Some crafters love a small snack nearby :cookie:
while others prefer full focus mode… no distractions at all.

Everyone has their own rhythm, and we’d love to hear yours!


:light_bulb: Quick Activity Tips

Take a photo of your crafting moment (in progress or completed) and share it with us, along with one small habit you have while crafting.

You can tell us things like:

:musical_note: A song or playlist you always play
:headphone: A podcast or audiobook you enjoy
:chocolate_bar: Your favorite crafting snack
:person_in_lotus_position: A quiet moment where you just focus
:thought_balloon: Something you often think about while crafting

No rules, no pressure, just your real crafting moment.

We can’t wait to see your cozy creative moments! :sparkles:

Ha! I think my crafting rhythm would be best labeled as Hot Mess Express. Once my brain gets going on the creative stuff, everything else goes out the window. This is my current project. I have no organizational skills when it comes to modeling . It’s a wonder that I haven’t lost any pieces yet . It’s only 60 pieces and every single one of them are out of their slots and not marked because I don’t need them to be… it’s only 60 pieces😂. I normally have '80s rock music playing and either popcorn or Nutty Buddies nearby.

Over the weekend I often combinate building with cross stitching, I have entered a SAL that started the first Saturday of January and goes on until December and I get a ne part from the pattern every Saturday morning, this is what I have so far, tomorrow I get a new part to sew, I often listing to my favourite book podcast (Libelle Leesclub podcast) while building, while sewing I don’t have a snack around me because I don’t want the fabric getting dirty, often I also want silence and peace and quiet while building or sewing, I try to put my mind at ease because the sewing and building helps me relax

Im guessing i missed the first activity lol? Anyway i did recently finish the Adult bedroom super creator, and ive noticed my habits is…I completely forget to eat or drink because of how focused i am. Which is nice but at the same time unhealthy :face_holding_back_tears: i do also sometimes listen to music but listen to the same thing…(My heart will go on by Cèline Dion) lol i do love her music :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

This is such an interesting take!

Well, my habit would be the time and place where I do so :rofl: my crafting rutine, let’s call it? I like to watch an episode of some drama series (currently watching You on Netflix, it’s a crazy guilty pleasure) while having dinner. Then, so I won’t go to bed with a recently filled stomach, I play whichever channel or my next The Office episode on TV and start crafting a bit. So my sofa and sofa tables kind of became my workplace :rofl:

I always keep a glass of water nearby. And I usually love silence and focusing on what I’m doing.

Although sometimes I put on a YouTube video in the background. :glass_of_milk: :musical_notes:

My current build is the Gear Ball Challenge and it’s my first time painting a build. I enjoy building in silence. I stay focus while building because I usually miss a step if I don’t :sweat_smile:

My crafting routine is pretty simple (and slightly chaotic :laughing:):

:musical_note: Music: I usually have Keung To and random K-pop songs playing in the background. It’s basically a mini concert while I craft.

:headphone: Podcast/Audiobook: None… the K-pop is already loud enough.

:chocolate_bar: Snack: No snacks for me because my hands are always messy. The only safe companion is my trusty bottle of water.

:person_in_lotus_position: Quiet moment: That rare moment when I’m fully focused and everything is going smoothly… until the next K-pop song makes me start singing along.

:thought_balloon: Thoughts while crafting:
“How do I incorporate Keung To into this build?” :thinking:
“Can this somehow become a Keung To themed piece?”
“Wait… maybe if I add this here… yes, still counts as crafting!”

So basically: crafting + K-pop + trying to sneak Keung To into everything. :musical_notes:

Thank you so much @keungkeungcon :blush:

This happens to me, too! That’s the wonderful creative state called “flow” and we’re all so lucky to have something that bring us into that mindset. :blush:

I almost always have my noise-canceling headphones on, as I live with two family members who are on Zoom calls or otherwise occupied with work. I like to listen to podcasts or music - lately I’ve been listening to Amy Poehler’s YouTube podcasts as she is a fellow Massachusetts girl. Otherwise, I have Spotify on with a typically kpop playlist. :purple_heart::grin:

@Nita_Davis I can’t tell what you’re working on, but it looks fun. 80’s rock music is the best!

My work sessions vary. Sometimes I snack, listen to music, or enjoy the peace. I let my mood decide. lol

This is my workstation…

I have a ziplock bag of candy to choose from or sometimes I snack on trail mix or fruit, or donut holes. Yummmmmm

I have an Alexa that I listen to music with. Country music or Christian contemporary music are my favorites.

Sometimes I get so lost in my builds that I don’t get hungry or even hear the music. Those are the moments I love best!:heart: Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
