The Postage Stamp Makerie
There’s a quiet kind of joy that comes from making something with your own two hands; whether it’s a knitted dishcloth, a jar of herbal salve, or a patchwork quilt stitched together on a rainy afternoon. In a world that moves fast and often prizes convenience over care, I find comfort in slowing down and creating something lasting, something useful, and something beautiful.
Where Crafting And Creativity Meet
Welcome to The Postage Stamp Makerie, a cozy corner of our city homestead where crafting, creativity, and everyday living meet. Here, we explore what it means to make by hand, even in small spaces, and how old-fashioned skills still have a place in modern life.
Handmade Doesn't Need To Be Perfect
I grew up surrounded by makers; people who mended what they had, repurposed what they could, and took pride in creating from scratch. Those lessons have stayed with me. Over time, I’ve learned that handmade doesn’t have to mean perfect, it means personal. It’s the stitches that tell a story, the jar labels written in your own handwriting, the satisfaction of finding beauty and purpose in the simple things.
Thriftiness, Resourcefulness, Sustainability and Simplicity
In this space, we’ll revisit lost arts and timeless crafts; sewing, crochet, herbal remedies, homemade cleaners, and all those little projects that make a house feel like a home. We’ll talk about thriftiness and resourcefulness, sustainability and simplicity, and how creativity can thrive even in the smallest of spaces.
Homemade Touches
The Makerie is about more than just crafting, it’s about connection. To our homes, to our past, and to the rhythm of a slower, more intentional way of living. Because even on a postage stamp, there’s room to create, to mend, and to fill life with the handmade touches that make it uniquely yours.
Make Something Beautiful
So gather your scraps, your yarn, your herbs, and your imagination and let’s make something beautiful together.
