This Charles Eames's quotation is definitely our motto!
"For Eames this meant turning design—his pleasure—into his work, but that may not be the best course of action for everyone. Sometimes it just means taking your hobbies and interests more seriously, rather than relegating them to the time you can scrounge up here and there. Make them important, because having fun and enjoying yourself is important." (from here)
We are living a moment where manual crafts are getting more attention, as people are realizing that is a good way to slowdown and relax from the day to day.
Manual activities are also very good to shut down all the turmoil in your head, allowing you to free up your mind in order to appreciate more what really matters in life. And, who knows, having your hands occupied will help you find that answer for a problem you're looking for a while!
The benefits of crafts
Below we are sharing our favorite articles that describe the meditative and the healing power of crafts:

Take the time to delve into your pursuits and explore them fully. We are here to help!
At unwind studio, our aim is to deliver products for you to create a beautiful piece with your hands and unwind at the same time.
By investing in manual crafts, we are investing in ourselves. Stitching alone, or together in community, we are also stitching ourselves into a calmer peace of mind.
Hope you will enjoy our beautiful collections!
Happy stitching,
Cristina
