Long Post Alert….tldr: thanks for the ongoing support! Swipe the photos to see the earliest stages of the weaving kits.

4 years ago: Nova Scotia and the rest of the world was just settling into Lockdown. I created the first of my shape loom weaving kits on a lark 🌈 🌞. I figured if an activity kit could be shipped out to people with everything but the scissors in the package, it could help people pass the seemingly endless time doing something cheerful without leaving their homes. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for supporting that random idea and giving me the opportunity/confidence to grow The Happiness Field with new ideas and market opportunities over the past several years. I’m bad at social media but as an independent small business, your support Really Does Matter - it has definitely helped cover daycare costs and local activities for my small human when times were tight.

Kits are always available on Etsy and maybe even an independent store near you! There’s some seeds of fresh ideas waiting to be sprung. Halifax Crafters (May 4/5) is right around the corner on the market front. I may also be pretty quiet otherwise doing all the wonderful Life things.

Hope to see you out soon and take care!
