I just have to pause a bit today, to thank the arts and crafts community on Instagram.

Designers have shared free patterns, websites that usually charge a fee to access craft classes have given a free pass for a few weeks, tutorials have been added to help people who are staying at home stay busy in a productive way, and on and on. It’s like Christmas giving time over on Instagram right now.

And then, there are the shops, doing giveaways and loyal customers sharing the shops’ links to help them stay afloat during the quarantine/lockdowns. I know my pdf pattern library has certainly grown in the last 4 weeks!

There are also some of my favorites, spreading joy and positivity and laughter. We need to laugh!

I’m always sharing content from my favorites on Instagram, in my Instagram story, so if by some miracle, someone finds my blog posts, check out my Instagram story.

Your friend,

Anne Dovel
