Calling all crafters to come together once a month. Knit, crochet, needlepoint, sew, felt, pottery, card making, beading, drawing…anything goes and the sky is the limit! Meet other craft minded people, get inspired, learn from each other and pay it forward! We create individually, collect it together and then contribute it back to the community in a meaningful way.

Past projects have included creating comfort mitts for people living with dementia who are in hospital, creating comfort items (ie blankets, stuffed animals, inspirational cards) for welcome kits at Ronald McDonald House, creating winter warmth items (hats, scarves, mitts, socks) for youth at Covenant House, lap blankets and household items for Atira Women’s Resource Society, squares that became blankets for Honour Society, welcoming and encouraging items for residents of Belkin House, essential and non essential items for Mamas for Mamas, holiday gifts for VGH’s Tertiary Mental Health and Substance Use inpatient units, household items and décor for people in transitional housing with Elizabeth Fry Society, Seniors Services Society, YWCA, winter warmth items for Carnegie Community Centre, the Kitsilano Community Centre Shower Program and the North Shore Crisis Services Society (mother’s day gifts and household essentials).

Our fall “cause” will be the BC Brain Wellness Program! We plan to hold a handcrafted sale in person at the BWP fall anniversary event on October 24, 2026, with proceeds from the sale to go back to the BWP as well as to supplies to continue creatively crafting for other causes.

We also bring in guest speakers with inspiring stories and talents!

No experience necessary as we tap into our individual talents to help others out.

Feeling good by doing good!
