The Hidden Hive Workshops, Arundel Grove, Bletchley (2026)

🧶🌟MENTAL HEALTH MONDAYS🌟🧶

People often think crochet is 🫣 for grannies… but honestly, in todays world that moves so quickly and is lived mostly on screens 📱it is so much more than that!🥳

🐝At a Crochet Workshop here... at The Hidden Hive I see every single week how crochet helps people in ways they never expected!🤷‍♀️

CROCHET BENEFITS CAN INCLUDE:
💕Improving focus and concentration
💕Boosting confidence and self-esteem
💕Creating routine and purpose
💕Encouraging mindfulness without even realising it
💕Helping with dexterity and coordination
💕Giving your brain a break from daily stress
💕Bringing a huge sense of achievement
💕Helping calm anxiety and racing thoughts
💕Reducing loneliness and isolation
💕Giving people a safe space to laugh, chat and switch off

☝️But the BIGGEST thing I see!?! - Friendships!!!!🥳

People walk through the garden 🏡🪴 to the workshop doors nervous… and leave with new friends 🙌, support networks 🥰, confidence 😁 and a crochet family (Our Crochet Colony) they didn’t even know they needed!🤷‍♀️🥳

🧶There’s something so incredibly special about sitting around The Hidden Hives 🐝workshop table with yarn, hooks, laughter, tea/coffee (and homemade cake!!) 🍰 some wonky stitches and everyone cheering each other on! 🥳Celebrating each others wins, laughing 🤭about the week one struggles. 💕

🤷‍♀️ Theres just never any pressure to be perfect! (what is that all about?) and there is definitely no judgement!! Just a bucket load of support, encouragement and a good dose of therapy disguised as crochet.✨💫🧶

🤷‍♀️Whether you’re 16 or 96, a complete beginner, left-handed, a knitter crossing over to the “hooker side” 😆🤭 or someone simply needing a little calm in their life… crochet really can be magical! ✨💫🧶

And... 🙌 every finished row or round, every granny square, scarf, blanket, or wearable... ☝️That’s an achievement 🏆to be proud of !🙌🥰🧶🐝

Am so grateful that we can now use the ‘South Terrace’ 🤭 (it’s a joke!) 😆 at The Hidden Hive 🐝 and take our workshops outside into the garden when it gets like this!!🙏

Water 💦 is chilling in the fridge 🙌👍 and yes there will still be cake (as always).
What a lovely way for us to wrap up the last week of your beginners ‘Learn to Crochet Course 💕

Happiness is… a gentle breeze this evening ☝️🤣😂

🙏I look forward to welcoming you to the beautiful 🥰 garden 🪴 studio space of The Hidden Hive 🐝 and enjoying a few creative hours crocheting ourselves happy!🙌

😳HOW DID THIS HAPPEN???
This morning I woke to a text message 📲 and OMG 😱 I'm just buzzing!! and so incredibly grateful... last month I was notified by MK Inspiration Awards🏆 that I had been nominated (thank you to every single one of you who have visited... loved it so much that you've then recommended me to others) because this mornings text was to tell me that... not only have I been nominated but that I am now a FINALIST!🥳

OMG🙌 yessss! A finalist in not☝️ one... but three 🫨categories!?! What the actual!!!

🥰🙏You've collectively nominated and now little old me is in the top 6 😳 of the following 3 categories!
(Seriously guys... thank you. To become a finalist in just about anything is life, is enough really!) 🙌🤣

THE CATEGORIES ARE:
♻️🏆ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABLE BUSINESS🏆♻️
Must be all that creative upcycling and repurposing we do to create some fabulous finished macrame lanterns, soy wax candles and decoupage pieces. ☝️Drab to fab is what we do here!

🧶🏆BEST CREATIVE SCHOOL/COMPANY🏆🧶
Well... this is definitely down to you! Because 750 of you have found The Hidden Hive 🐝 in the last year and 150+ of you, can now crochet! So to win this award would just be amazing for "US"!!!!

👩‍🎨🏆BEST CREATIVE INDIVIDUAL🏆👩‍🎨
🤔Hhmmm... sorry but I dont agree, ☝️however I am still incredibly grateful that you think that I am!🥰🙏... because I know for sure! that there are so many more formidable creatives in MK than me!🥳 However, collectively we are forging 💪the way for the creative industries!! 🙌and long may that continue over AI!!!🤖🥲

🥰 I just want to say again at this juncture "THANK YOU" 🙏 to every single one of your who got The Hidden Hive Workshops to this position - the FINALS of the MK Inpsiration Awards.🏆

☝️And if you think Im deserving... I'd like to ask for one little favour today...

🥰Thank you again (have I said it enough?) but seriously though... The Hidden Hive Workshops 🐝 being shortlisted 🏆means everything, because I created The Hidden Hive Workshops for YOU!!! 🥳 So that you had somewhere you could find that would help boost your social and mental wellbeing! Because in a world that moves so quickly and is lived mostly on screens, where some of us are becoming disconnected and isolated 🥲The Hidden Hive Workshop is a space for us to slow down, reconnect, sit side by side and get creative! Learning new skills, meeting new like minded friends all whilst sharing the joy of some beautiful hand made crafts like crochet, macrame, candlemaking and decoupage. 🥰 We all know… the conversations are very different here! and that I do this so I can be around to support my mum with my dad who has Alzheimers 🥲so I can earn enough to pay the mortgage, the bills and occasionally the odd bottle of wine to keep me sane!😆🤭

So to actually win!?! That would just be insane! Thank you 🥰🙏
