My Story
Or how I ended up with a house full of glitter
I moved to Germany back in 2023 and now living with my husband and our dog, Ollie (who is arguably the real boss of the house). By day, I navigate the world of marketing, but the second the weekend hits? My inner artist takes total control.
I have a deep, unstoppable love for shiny trinkets and pretty things—especially when they are handmade. But I have a confession to make:
I am a "Two-Day Crafter."
Whenever I see a stunning DIY on Pinterest, I immediately buy €100 worth of specialized tools and materials. I spend exactly 48 hours in a manic state of hyper-focused bliss, making the thing. Then, I pack up the remaining 90% of the supplies, look my husband in the eye, and say, "I'm saving these in case I make it again." (Spoiler alert: I never do).
Why I started Craft Fling
After realizing my apartment was slowly being swallowed by boxes of leftover clay, yarn, and wire, a lightbulb went off.
I didn't want a lifelong commitment to just one hobby. I wanted a casual, fun, low-pressure weekend romance with creativity. And I figured I couldn’t be the only one who wanted to make beautiful things without having to open a mini craft store in their living room.
That’s how The Craft Fling was born.
I do the stressful part—the research, the endless supply runs, and the cleanup. You get the best part: showing up at a cozy venue, listening to great music, sipping a drink, and spending two hours playing with premium materials. No strings attached, no experience required, and zero guilt about leftover supplies.
